Opening the event with a speech, Mrs. Afsana Mammadova, the Deputy Head of the Executive Power of Yardimli Region pointed out that early marriage is a very urgent issue in both Eastern and Western countries. Forcing girls to start a family at an early age hinders their education and development as individuals, endangers the health and lives of future generations, and increases the number of divorces. Early marriage is an important problem because it inflicts irreparable wounds on the representatives of two generations, both the present and future generations.

Mrs. Sadagat Gahramanova spoke about the consequences of early marriage and said that early marriages are mainly caused by the influence of parents as they think that teenage girls are not formed enough, and they cannot decide on the right choice. Pointing out that early marriage is actually great irresponsibility, the Deputy Chair emphasized that this situation distracts girls from education and has a negative effect on their psychology. Such girls do not have the strength to carry heavy family responsibilities and heavy family burdens on their delicate shoulders. S. Gahramanova also drew attention to the importance of the work of the gender equality commission established within the municipalities.
