This work is interesting from both points of view: social and women's health. However, the 
writing of the work seems to me scienti fically deficient, and also the English language.  
 
The abstract should include the definition or what they have considered early marriage; and in 
statistical methods indicate what is COR and AOR. In addition, Table 1 included in the text must 
be Table 2.
