The views of adult married women living in villages on early marriage and its relation with the perception of health
Conclusion: Women living in rural areas have a high rate of early marriage, and traditions and customs determine the decision to marry. Age and number of children were found to be positively correlated with perception of health, though weakly. Increasing the perception of health before and during the initial years of marriage could help in preventing many adverse effects that are caused by early marriage. With the increase in age and number of children, women might seek more health. This can increase women's health perception. (Source: Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice)
