then

. Predominantly, Pakistan and India are the leading examples of early child marriages and it is

for

this

reason that these countries are ranked top 5 in the most populous regions of the world.

, there are solutions to tackle

this

problem. The Family Planning Departments of all developed and populated nations should be proactive in devising effective family planning guidelines and make them mandatory to be followed by the general public.

Another solution is that the local authorities should limit the ages for marriage to shorten the time to have many babies. To illustrate, there are many cities in Africa that have already banned people from settling down before the age of 30.

Therefore

, certain limitations become imperative to prevent overpopulation across the globe. In conclusion,
