Question 2 of 8

For girls in Ethiopia, the risk of being forced to marry is sometimes a reason to migrate to the city. What is the legal age of marriage in Ethiopia?

Actually, marriage is prohibited for girls under the age of 18 in Ethiopia. However, social norms take longer to change and laws are not always enforced. As a result, some younger girls leave rural areas to avoid an arranged marriage. You can read more about why adolescent girls migrate within Ethiopia in this case study.
