What do you think should be the age of consent for marriage in Zimbabwe?

money making scheme...what is the problem here....is it early marriage or its those girls who are unfortunate or hot headed and dont want to use condoms and end up being preg...most of these early marriages come after one is preg...in other words they are saying let these gals get preg but not marry...because it seems here the crime is early marriage not sex at an early age..most gals younger dan 18 are engaging in sex but not marrying -Sibongiseni Mnkandla

Planned pregnancy is good for both young and old couples. It also helps in budgeting for clothes food school shelter for the kid. It also show care for the future of this seed.

Can I employ them or find employment for them or teach them to self employ.

How many kids can I manage.I for one am pained to see an unemployed person in my life and that led me to reduce my kids to only 2 in my planning. No matter what comes I will make sure I will lead them in schooling marriage and employment it will be their choice to fail.In essence your question does not touch fundamental issues but delves on petty age issues. – Freedom Zimbabwe

Marriage is ideal in a planned pregnan – Freedom Zimbabwe
