Child rights activists are strongly protesting the government's proposal to lower the legal marriage age to 18, advocating to maintain it at 20. Organizations like Children as Zone of Peace (CZOP) argue that reducing the marriage age will negatively impact children's health, education, and overall development. Studies indicate that lowering the marriage age has serious adverse effects on educational, mental, economic, social, and reproductive health.
