Social rules or laws on marriage vary widely between countries. Some countries still do not have a legal minimum（最小的）age for marriage， which makes child marriages very common there.

In the western Christian countries， a 13-year-old is still considered a child. Even getting married in ones late teens is not usually encouraged because married life is likely to interfere with（妨礙）a young womans education and consequently limit opportunities in later life. And there might be also physical dangers in giving birth so young.

In many countries， the trends of urbanization and education for girls have seen a drop in the number of child brides. However， early marriages continue to occur in poor rural areas. In one poor country， for example， the legal age of marriage for a girl is 18 and to a boy， 21. Yet， according to government statistics， 18 percent of ten-to-fourteen-year-old girls in the poorest rural state are married. It is clear， then， that child marriages are connected with poverty， lack of education， rural customs as well as religion. So there are hardly child marriages in urban or rich areas.

5. What is the possible problem for a woman to get married early？

A. It causes baby death.

B. It costs a lot of money.

C. It does harm to her health.

D. It limits her chances to succeed.
