Other Comments:
Allover the world in the developing countries such social problems are encountered like inm india child marrieges &teenage pregnancies are very common-so some literature must be available on worldwide level and sime references should be cited but being a social problem it needs to be published to increase social awareness and help such laws get passed across thicvk government brains who look for precedence and publications and better to start and initiate the practice.read all that literature and make it moreefficient as adolescent pregnancies are a worldwide problem encountered and discuss problems in developed countries vis a vis vdeveloping countries.
