When a girl got married
When a girl gets married, she usually drops out of school and begins full-time work in her law’s household. In the in law’s house, she is marginalized. She become vulnerable to all forms of abuse, including dowry related violence. In Bangladesh, it is still common for a bride’s family to pay dowry, despite the practice being illegal. Dowry demands can also continue after the wedding. For adolescence bride, even if her in-laws are supportive, there are greater health risks in terms of pregnancy and child birth. The majority adolescent brides and families are uninformed or insufficiently informed about reproductive health and contraception. The maternal rate for adolescents is double the national rate.
When adolescent’s girls are pulled out of
school, either for marriage or work, they often lose their mobility, their
friends and social status. The lack of mobility among adolescent’s girls also
curtails their economic and non-formal educational opportunities. Moreover,
they lack information about health issues. According to a study, only about
three in five adolescents have been even heard of HIV. It is also reported that
more than fifty percent of adolescents undernourished and suffer from anemia.
Adolescent’s fertility is also high in Bangladesh.
The contribution of the adolescent’s
fertility rate to the total fertility rate increased from 20.3% in 1993 to
24.4% in 2007. Moreover, neonatal morality in another concern for younger
mothers. While the situation for adolescent’s boys is somewhat better, many are
vulnerable and lack the power to make decisions about their own lives. Many
boys who are unable to go to school, or are unemployed, remain unaware of
social or health issues. They are also more likely to get exposed to drugs and
alcohol.
