摘要：Although modern legal systems accept marriages before the age of 18 as a crime,child marriages can be seen worldwide. The fact that this phenomenon is widespread not only in certain regions but also throughout the world refuses the claim that child marriage is a cultural phenomenon. Child marriages,which have negative effects and even permanent damages on the physical integrity and psychological health of the child,should be studied comprehensively. For this purpose,this study examines the concept of child marriage,which is also referred as “child bride”. Moreover,the reasons behind this phenomenon were evaluated. In this study,the society's approach to child marriage and the level of their consciousness are discussed,and social awareness on child brides is emphasized. At this point,the role of the media and the way of approaching news about child marriages are examined. The points the press needs to pay attention to are emphasized,for the media is known for its big role on increasing and shaping the values and awareness level of the society. It is hoped that this review study will become a source for preventive studies on the phenomenon of child bride.
