| | Child Marriage in Ancient India |
 | | The English, who were ignorant of the long tradition of Indian spiritual literature, declared that there was no religious basis for child marriage and found support for their beliefs from their supporters within the Brahmin caste. | | | One hymn mentions that a female should be married only "when she is not a child". | | | She was his favorite wife, and lived to the age of sixty-nine." Abielle (No date) found that child marriage was prevalent even in the Christian areas of India. |

| | bH Marriage and Child Bearing |
| | Great expense involving child birth should be considered in the light of God' a promise to His people which reads, "Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety" (1 Tim 2:15). | | | Note if marriage partners would often need to painfully refrain from their affectionate desires for each other, which desires are much aroused by being together as marriage partners are, it quite obviously would be better to not be married at all. | | | The answer obviously must be either to accept repeated and often child bearing, or employ ways of experiencing sexual fulfillment which will restrain conception even when the wife according to her cycle could conceive. |

| | Sati, along with Child Marriage, the conducting of Wedding ceremonies (among Punjabis) in the dead of the night after midnight, and the practice of women covering the face veil (Ghungat) were the result of the oppressive conditions prevailing during the dark days of Muslim tyranny during the middle ages in India. | | | Child-marriage is another 'blessing' of the medieaval age and it was born from the same compulsions that ; perpetuated Sati.Child-marriage was not not prevalent in ancient India. | | | The formation of polygamous and polyandrous forms of marriage could have been made necessary by changes in the demographic balance between the sexes. |

| | Increasing Marriage Would Dramatically Reduce Child Poverty |
| | As noted, the marriage simulation data presented in Charts 1, 2, and 3 and Tables 3 and 4 pertain to the “marriageable” couples within the Fragile Families survey—i.e., those who, at the time of the child’s birth, are cohabiting or living separately but are still romantically involved. | | | To conduct the analysis properly, data are needed both on the number of the mother’s children who live with her (if this is not her first birth) and on earnings for the mother (for her last paying job before any maternity leave) and the father. | | | Nearly half of non-married expectant mothers are cohabiting with the father at around the time of their child’s birth. |

| | Child Marriage and Complex Families (cemithualtin) among the Ancient Aztec (Nahua) |
| | With Spanish colonization, marriage age probably rose rather than fell, if for no other reason than because, to the extent that natives accepted Catholic marriage, Christian clerics would have refused to wed girls who had not attained the age of reason (twelve years) and thus were considered incapable of voluntarily taking the nuptial vows. | | | On the contrary, it is likely that early marriage, complex households, and communal usufruct of land, on which coresidence was based, were defenses against the vagaries of severe mortality. | | | A brother-in-law with two sons, aged ten and eight, was probably a viable candidate for headship, should the son of the head die or leave the household at marriage. |
