Early Marriage in Palestine

Add your image or video
In Palestine, we have 220,070 women in the age 20-24, about 11% of them were married before they reached the age 18, which means getting married during their “childhood”. This percentage was 30% in 1997 and reached 18% in the year 2007, which reflects an enhancement during the last twenty years, which is due to the increase in the educational level for both men and women, in addition to the awareness levels of risk related to early marriage especially concerning reproductive health.
