Grant School of Public Health Child Marriage Delayed Marriage Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) This article was published in the Journal of Bangladesh Studies by BDI.The Journal's website is at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/350813846_Knotted_Realities_Understanding_What_Delays_Early_and_Child_Marriage_for_Girls_in_Urban_Slums_of_Bangladesh Bangladesh has the fourth-highest prevalence of early and child marriage in the world. This trend has declined slightly over the years, but there is a dearth of research regarding underlying reasons. This article explores the phenomenon of delayed marriage for women in the context of understudied urban slums, and seeks to understand both why it happens and its consequences. The article uses data from 14 in-depth interviews (IDI) of girls who delayed their marriage beyond their 18th year, and two focus group discussions (FGD) with adolescent girls and young women aged between 13-24 years from a larger mixed-methods study conducted in two slums of the cities of Dhaka and Chattogram. Findings reveal that the key reasons for delaying marriage are poverty, inability to pay dowry for girls perceived as older, and the pressing obligations faced by young girls in having to take care of their families. It was also found that positive family support, mostly among better-off families, allows some girls pursue education rather than be married off at an early age.
