Child marriage has negative health, psychological and social consequences, which a member of the Arab Scientific Council for Health Inventions and a consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology discusses with “Sayidaty Net”.
Dr. Sharifa Al-Subaiani's view is that “a girl who marries at a young age means health, psychological and social harm”, likening this marriage to “physical abuse, despite its legitimacy, of women at this age who are not physically or psychologically fit for marital relations and pregnancy”. She speaks about the harms: “the young girl is more vulnerable, at the couple's first encounter (the wedding night), to tearing of her genitals, Dr., exposed physiologically, naturally, at this stage and for the first three years of the menstrual cycle (its repeated occurrence in the month because of the psychological pressures that accompany her marriage “.
She goes on to say: “in addition to the risks and disorders mentioned above, the pregnancy of a minor is described as a” high-risk pregnancy “, and she may race into a range of diseases, such as anaemia and miscarriage in the first female weeks, or the unreadiness of the body and the uterus, which caused repeated uterine contractions “. It may lead to brain haemorrhage, convulsions, kidney failure and acute disorder of the body's clotting system. And at labour she is unable to adjust the foetus, or a shortage of oxygen. “These harms are not limited to the sad woman”, and “O God”, what an ever. To death because of infections or the failure of the body's vital organs “.
