“…Those forced to marry early face increased risk of IPV (Kidman, 2017) and are more prone to sexually transmitted infections from decreased condom use (Clark, 2004). Child brides face greater risk for complications during childbirth, endangering both mother and infant (Pandey et al, 2017; Raj and Boehmer, 2013). Some studies found child brides more likely to experience emotional distress, depression, and suicidal ideation (Gage, 2013; John et al, 2019).…”

This systematic review examines current evidence on the association between extreme weather and child, early, and forced marriage (CEFM). Studies published in English between 1990 and 2022 were identified through ten databases, and independently screened for inclusion followed by data extraction, quality assessment, and narrative synthesis. Of the 20 studies included, CEFM was a major theme in the qualitative studies; quantitative and mixed-method studies noted a positive association between extreme weather and CEFM. Limitations include reporting bias, non-representative samples, and limited geographic coverage. Health professionals and social workers must recognize the complexities surrounding CEFM and extreme weather, which will worsen amid climate change.

Ethnographic research was carried out in 1997-98 to identify factors that determined school attendance among Nepali women in the Kathmandu Valley a generation ago. Findings indicate that gender, caste, poverty, cultural prejudice, and rural residence prevented a majority from going to school. Of those who went, most, regardless of academic talent, were pulled out in order to work at home, as wage laborers and domestic servants, or to enter arranged marriages. Only a small minority made the decision to leave school themselves. The article contributes to the study of schooling and gender in South Asia. [school attendance, gender, caste, Nepal, social change] The gender gap in school attendance in South Asia is greater than anywhere else in the world and is as enduring a form of social inequality as poverty
