Abstract

Approximately 66 % of Bangladeshi women get married before the age of 16 (UNICEF 2011). Becoming mothers out of wedlock is considered a great sin and is not accepted in the society. Early marriage usually truncates girls' education, thus contributing to the low literacy rate (66 %) observed amongst Bangladeshi women.
