While pregnancy of aged ladies has been an issue, developing countries are puzzled with child brides.
The former one has higher risk of bearing disabled children or dead children. On the other hand, the latter is problematic, because bearing children at younger age results in lack of education or skills of the parents.
Even if the government ignores this bill, there will be less and less children who marries after economic development.
But, it would be better to curb child brides beforehand.
