Amongst the world recognized rights are right to self determination, peace, general satisfactory of environment favourable to peoples development, and people's right to full sovereign over their natural resources; economic, social association. Others are minority rights and child's rights. In Africa, it is common to see many communities engaged in giving out their female children out in marriage without the brides consent.

Conclusion Is drawn on the legal effect of child marriage and solution proffer to the menace of child marriage.en_US
