Child Marriage
Captions available
The idea
Child marriage, before fifteen, truncates exploration and imposes adult roles, though it is confounded with poverty and leaving school.
In practice
A fourteen-year-old bride leaving school to run a household, with no period of exploration at all.
Where people slip
Because child marriage travels with poverty and dropout, its separate effects are hard to isolate.
