The report includes a stastical analysis of the period between 25 and 212,along with limited ranges of 213 and 214 data. This information serves as a snapshot of early marriege practices among Jordanians,as well as Palestinians and Syrians currently living in Jordan. Also included is the information gathered through surveys,interviews,and focus group discussions. The data gathered through these qualitative studies focuses on the views of mothers,fathers,women who had married early,NGO and government service providers,judges,sheikhs and imams as well as community leaders. This study aims to both provide invaluable insight on attitudes toward child marriage and establish a crucial baseline against which efforts to eliminate the practice can be measured at a later date.
