Why do southern girls get married and have children when they are teenagers?

Not necessarily from the south, but from remote villages and poor families. People's ideas are backward, girls have no money to go to college, and the concept of men being superior to women is serious. They prefer to let girls get married early. Getting married as a teenager means that you are not old enough to get married by plane and are not protected by law. It is a vulgar custom that children don't have legal hukou before their parents register for marriage.

In China, early marriage refers to the illegal marriage of men and women by cheating the registration authority or failing to perform the legal registration procedures before reaching the legal age for marriage. Early marriage is an illegal marriage, which will bring bad consequences to both parties and their families, as well as to society.

China's Marriage Law stipulates that the age of first marriage should not be less than 22 for men and 20 for women. Illegal early marriage is detrimental to the dignity of the marriage law, and every citizen must abide by the provisions of the marriage law. Illegal early marriage often brings misfortune to families and individuals.
