The practice of early marriage of girls is still widely followed in India. The expectation in the Indian sociocultural milieu that after marriage a woman will become pregnant as soon as possible encourages early onset of maternity and higher adolescent fertility. The age-specific fertility rate for married Indian women 15-19 years ranged between 83 and 89 in the last decade.
在印度，女孩早婚的习俗仍然广泛存在。在印度社会文化环境中，人们期望女性婚后尽快怀孕，这促使生育过早开始且青少年生育率较高。在过去十年里，印度15至19岁已婚女性的年龄别生育率在83至89之间。
