EFFECT OF
EARLY MARRIAGE ON THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF A
GIRL-CHILD IN NIGERIA
CHAPTER ONE
1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Marriage is
the oldest institution in the world it was instituted by God Himself in the
Garden of Eden. Marriage was not the idea of any man. It was the original idea
of God Almighty. God felt the need for marriage and instituted it “And the Lord
God said, it is not good that the man should be alone, I will make him an help
meet for him” Genesis chapter 2 verse 18.
Since then
man and woman alike have always tried to live in companion of each other
because they are created social being.
Marriage can
also be define as a union between a man and a woman to become husband and wife
with the above definition.
Marriage is
meant for mature man and woman and not for boys and girls because they can not
yet cope with the challenges of marital life. Early marriage therefore is
define as a union of a boy and a girl and a man to become husband and wife
below the age of 18 years.
In the light
of this study, when a girl below the age of 18, engages herself in marriage it
is referred to as “Early Marriage”.
Finally to correct
this social problem among this group of people is the reason why this study
becomes important.
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The incident
of early marriage in recent time has been on the increase in Nigeria despite
all the enlightenment, campaigns and awareness through formal and informal
education.
In Lagos
State for instance, where almost all the ethic groups in Nigeria is
represented, it is a common thing to see young girls with their children on
their backs hawking different ware in the neighbourhood. Some have become more
or less baby factories. There are still others who are maltreated and
restricted by their husbands from selling or doing any types of work that can
fetch them money.
They are
totally dependent on their husbands and as a result of which they become
unproductive. Also most of them feel like second class citizen because their
educational background is nothing to write home about. They cannot express
themselves in the public and as a result cannot sit in where other are:

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
It is hoped
that this study will enable Nigeria parents to give equal opportunities to the
training of their children. Instead of giving the girls away in marriage pre-maturally.
It is also hoped that the study will enable Nigeria law-makers at all levels of
government to enact laws that will make early marriage a punishable offense.
It is
equally hoped that the result of their study will encourage student to abstain
from early marriage or to reduce it to the minimum.
1.7
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The study
will be focused on women in Yaba Local Government Area of Lagos with special
attention on women in Makoko, Iwaya and Ebute Metta area of the local
government area. However, this is also due to insufficient time and financial
constraint encountered during the study.
