minus-squarehovercat@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·9 days agoIn a recent 2024 study: …between 2000 and 2019. Over 75 % of all married children in each state were girls. Girls married men who were an average of 4 years older than they were, and the age gap was substantially larger when girls married than when boys married.
