Abstract This research explores into the complex ties among early marriage, child rights violations, and abusive behaviors, shedding light on its global implications. Through an exploration in Bogura's Khatiamari village, it uncovers a web of socio-political, cultural, and economic factors behind this issue.

The study's objectives encompass investigating the factors behind early marriage's prevalence, understanding the types of child rights violations associated with it, and identifying the short-term and long-term consequences of these violations. Qualitative research methods, including case studies, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions, were employed to gather insights from the community.

The findings emphasize that early marriage is deeply rooted in poverty and economic insecurity, often forcing families into decisions driven by desperation. This practice results in a range of child rights violations, including disrupted education, compromised health, diminished agency, and exposure to abusive behaviors. The emotional and psychological toll on children, particularly girls, is significant, as they are denied the opportunity to grow, develop, and participate fully in society.

The study underscores the urgent need for multi-dimensional solutions. It calls for strengthening legal frameworks, awareness campaigns, and community engagement to challenge harmful norms and ensure child rights protection. Gender equality emerges as a pivotal element in addressing this issue comprehensively.

The study calls for united action by governments, organizations, families, and individuals to end early marriage. This empowers children to reach their potential, free from tradition and discrimination. Despite challenges, this path offers hope to reshape societies, nurture dreams, and uphold every child's rights.
