The harmful practice of child marriage is not exclusive to any religion or culture, and unfortunately, it is all too common throughout the world. A 2007 ICRW publication, New Insights on Preventing Child Marriage, A Global Analysis of Factors and Programs (http://www.icrw.org/docs/2007-new-insights-preventing-child-marriage.pdf), found that no one religious affiliation was associated with child marriage, rather a variety of religions were associated with high prevalence of child marriage depending on the country where the tradition is practiced.
