Child Marriage Still Practiced Across Canada, With an Increase in Common-Law Unions: Study
A new study found that child marriage still exists across in Canada, with an increase of cases in common-law unions.
According to the study, over 3,600 marriage certificates were issued to children under the age of 18 between 2000 and 2018.
This is the first research of its kind to shed light on child marriage in Canada. While most of the existing studies on the issue focus on developing countries, such practices in developed nations are often overlooked and understudied, the report said.
The study found the highest estimates of formal marriage in Alberta (0.03 percent) and Manitoba (0.04 percent), and the highest estimates of any type of child marriage (formal or common-law) in Saskatchewan (0.5 percent) and the territories (1.7 percent).

Child marriage is legal and persists across Canada
Over 3,600 marriage certificates were issued to children under the age of 18 between 2000 and 2018
Canada is at the forefront of global efforts to end child marriage abroad. Yet this practice remains legal and persists across the country. In Canada, more than 3,600 marriage certificates were issued to children, usually girls, under the age of 18 between 2000 and 2018, according to a new study from researchers at McGill University. In recent years, an increasing number of child marriages have been common-law unions.
Child marriage, defined as formal or informal (common-law) marriage before the age of 18, is a globally-recognized indicator of gender inequality because the negative consequences for health and personal development disproportionately affect girls. While much research has focused on developing countries, in wealthier nations like Canada, child marriage practices are overlooked and understudied.
