Why is early marriage so common in rural areas?

First of all, rural grass-roots organizations do not publicize and educate the marriage law enough. Some cadres and the masses believe that whether rural youth apply for marriage certificates has nothing to do with the overall situation. Because the cadres and the masses have a weak awareness of the implementation of the marriage law, they think that they can manage or ignore it in supervision, which makes the phenomenon of early marriage and private marriage spread. Furthermore, the higher authorities and rural local governments have not attached great importance to the phenomenon of early marriage and private marriage in rural areas, and have not put it on the agenda from the legal height. They did not publicize and educate the marriage law, which led to the gradual increase of early marriage and private marriage in some rural areas.

Recently, the author learned from rural surveys in some places that the phenomenon of early marriage and private marriage is on the rise in recent years. Some young people are under legal age and get married without registration. Some middle-aged and elderly people get married and remarry, but they don't go to the competent authorities for registration and get married themselves. Many people say that farmers are not old enough to get a marriage certificate, and no one cares about getting married. In addition, there is no supervision at the grassroots level in rural areas, and the competent authorities turn a blind eye. In this case, early marriage and private marriage can be unimpeded.

According to the survey, the phenomenon of young people in rural areas marrying early and privately before the legal age appears, involving mainly: failed students who have not been admitted to high school and individual migrant workers who are tired of learning. Some parents or themselves are profit-driven. Parents feel that they should get married and have children as early as possible and fulfill their parents' obligations as early as possible. Some middle-aged and elderly people get married. First, I feel that I am old and it is a joke to register with the competent authorities. Both of them feel that they are old, so it doesn't matter whether they are registered or not.
