"There is a clear link between the return of the Taliban in 2021 and the increase in child marriage, especially in urban centers, where, since two decades ago, there had been an evolution and families no longer felt they had to marry off their daughters as soon as possible, because girls were getting opportunities to work and study and were also contributing financially to the household,” says Mariam Safi, director of The Organization for Policy Research and Development Studies (DROPS).
