Background• Marriage before the age of 18 is a reality for many young women.
• According to UNICEF's estimates, around 65 million women aged 20-24 were married or in union before the age of 18.
• Child marriage compromises the girls’ development and often results in early pregnancy and social isolation
• World Fit for Children target: End harmful traditional or customary practices, such as early and forced marriage [...] which violate the rights of children and women

Methodological issues
• Trends in the proportion of women married/in union before age 18 can be obtained by comparing age cohorts (20-24, 25-29, 30-34…)
• Spousal age differences are produced using the age of the current husband, even if formerly married
