“…The trend of child marriage has been declining in most studies ( n = 12, 85.71%), with an exception of Iran, where the prevalence of child marriage increased from 10.27 to 11.21 in 2006–2016 (AARR = 0.87) [ 80 ] and China, where the prevalence of child marriage increased from 2.41 to 2.85 in 2000–2010 (AARR = 1.67) [ 85 ]. The highest decrease was observed in India in 2016–2006 (AARR = -3.63) [ 71 ] and the lowest decrease was in West Africa in 2014–2006 (AARR = -0.58) [ 83 ].…”

Background Girl child marriage is increasingly recognized as a critical barrier to global public health and gender discrimination. There are still more gaps in the global rate of child marriage and the underlying factors. Thus, the present systematic review aimed to explore the prevalence of child marriage and the underlying factors. Methods A comprehensive search was conducted for all English-language studies that measured the prevalence of child marriage and its correlates from 2000 to March 2022, indexed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Poplin, and Google Scholar databases. Child marriage is defined as marriage under the age of 18. In the present study, Joanna Briggs' quality assessment checklist was used for data collection. Two independent reviewers reviewed all the articles. Results In total, 34 eligible prevalence articles and 14 trend articles were included in the study with data from 127,945 participants. The prevalence of child marriage ranged between 1.8% to 90.85%. In most studies, the trend of child marriage was decreasing. The most important individual factors include the respondent's education and occupation, interpersonal factors such as the education and occupation of parents and husband, family size and type. Community factors include socioeconomic status, region, residence, ethnicity, and religion at the social level. Conclusion Despite a central focus of research and policies on interventions that decrease child marriage, this phenomenon is still prevalent in many places. Therefore, further specific interventions are required to improve education, reduce poverty and inequality. This may help achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

“…It should be interpreted with caution because distinguishing age groups can overestimate the prevalence of child marriage. However, changes in demographic policies should not be ignored [ 80 ]. Child marriage is more prevalent in China's western provinces (Yunnan, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Ningxia, Tibet, and Guizhou).…”

“…United Nations Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF, 2020) data on Iran show that 3 percent of women (20-24 years) were first married or in a union before 15 years of age, and 17 percent before 18 years. Azimi showed that the marriage for 15-19-year-old girls increased over 10 years (from 2006 to 2016), with the highest rate of marriage in rural areas in 2016 (Azimi, 2020).…”

Child marriage is one of the issues that deprive many young girls of their basic rights and lives. The present study aimed to explore Iranian child brides’ experiences of the consequences of early marriage. The participants were women living in Tehran who had married at the age of 14–18 years. The analysis of the participants’ experiences revealed four main themes, including ‘underlying causes of early marriages’, ‘concerns and negative feelings’, ‘exposure to violence’, and ‘consequences of early marriages’. Awareness of these challenges can provide useful insights to be used by social workers and policymakers to further support these women.

Background/Aims Adolescent pregnancy is a significant health problem that can lead to adverse effects for the health of both adolescent mothers and their babies. Little is known about adolescent pregnancy from the perspective of adolescents, especially in developing countries, including Iran. The present study's aim was to explore Iranian adolescent women's perspectives of pregnancy. Methods This study was a thematic analysis conducted from November 2018 to October 2019 in north Iran. Data were collected through 24 unstructured, face-to-face in depth interviews which were transcribed and analysed using coding, constant comparison and memo writing. Results The experiences were categorised into five themes: ‘skeptical confronting pregnancy’, ‘intelligent self-care’, ‘embracing the pregnancy’, ‘effective support from others’ and ‘mixed perceptions of pregnancy’. Conclusions This study could improve healthcare professionals' adaptation of care for pregnant adolescent women and inspire them to tailor their care specifically to adolescents' needs.
