The members of the center of Xabur Corcet Davud and the executive of Traning Field of Cızire Delila in Tıl Temer said, "When the families let their girls or boys to marry, the marriages negatively influence the youth."

The member of the center of Xabur, Corcet Davud, said the girls' parents must not let them marry early and they must let them to get older in order to think by themselves and decide when they want to marry. The best age to marry is over 20 years old just to know the meaning of the marriage, to understand how to care a baby. When girl is a child she doesn't know how to live and how to be with her husband, the boys also have the same issues.

Corcet stated that the main reason of child marriage is social networks and the Internet. Using technology shapes many different problems between them. There are too many advertisements on internet about marriage.love, etc. Young people are affected by these advertisements.

Executive Training Field of Cızire, Delila in Tıl Temer, also stated that child marriage has been created by the pressure of the culture. The families have tried to take their children from their energy, ideas and thought and put them in the system. So they encourage their children to marry at small age.

Delila underlineded that the ruling forces have destroyed the Middle East, they have tried to stop the youth from developing their ideas by destroying of the mentality of young people. Delila said, "Now, families are starting to force their children in particular the girls to marry, for example, the families should let their girls to learn how to take care about their home or their children. We will stop the child marriage by this way, if the boys and girls don't turn into the 20s, we won't let them get married, if they get it when they are children, how could them take care about the children? How society will develop like that? How a good future could be constructed? In my opinion, girls must be trained about the life, morality, democratic culture and family before they get married."
