Child marriage is a very harmful traditional or religious practice, it is a crime in its worst form against childhood. Leaders of nations and legislators should enact severe laws to bring the culprits of such a crime to book ,it is not just enough to keep observing days dedicated to such societal malaise. What is the use of 'The Day of the African Child' if nothing is being done to curb such violations. Let them get done talking already and get to work. Thank you for this very enlightening post.
