CAUSES OF EARLY MARRIAGES AND EARLY BIRTHS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES

Abstract

Early motherhood is a social phenomenon that has a great influence on the subsequent socialization of a girl, and it is associated with early religious marriages, acceleration (acceleration of the process of growth, development) and early onset of sexual activity in adolescents, as well as sexual crimes against children. All this is happening against the background of ignorance of minors about reproductive health, methods of pregnancy planning, emergency contraception and abortion, and prevention of unplanned sexual intercourse. Health risks for teenage mothers are especially high in rural areas, where the health care system is less developed. Often, underage pregnancy ends in a dangerous abortion, which in the future can cause gynecological diseases, difficulties in childbirth and infertility.
