Abstract:
Marriage is regarded as a moment of celebration and a milestone in adult life throughout the world. However, the practice of early marriage gives no such cause for celebration. The study was conducted in two different districts of western Tarai in November, 2017 with the objectives of collecting baseline data on prevalence of early child marriage along with the knowledge, attitude and practice of respondents about ECM and its reporting. It also included effects of ECM.
