or about harms of early marriage and marriage between the relatives

In spite of the fact that today's marriage is premature and marital relationships, births of children with disabilities, and the incidence of young mothers have serious illnesses. The problems associated with this are undoubtedly a concern. In general, Malohatkhan SAYFUTDINOVA, the chief gynecologist of the Izboskan district medical association, shared the following views and comments on the adverse effects of early marriages.

     - While the marriage age in Uzbekistan was defined as seventeen years of age, marrying girls in this age may cause problems. Moreover, at this age, our daughters are not prepared to be physically fit for family life. Many studies, life experiences carried out by doctors, scholars, show that this is right. I can also say this in the case of an incident that I have just witnessed.

     One acquaintance married his daughter, who was only seventeen years old to see her granddaughter because of her serious illness. The wedding was held in a splendid style. Unfortunately, the elderly grandfather, who was seriously ill, did not even know how the grandson's wedding took place. But after a happy wedding, the family got into trouble.

     It was difficult for her to adapt to the new family because she was young. The bride was inexperienced by her mistakes and her mother-in-law was anxious with her mistakes in her work. Sadly, the daughter of a girl who is ready for a family wedding is not ready for it. The health of a younger bride is now a lot worse and requires regular long-term treatment. These ill-fated moments made the parents in a difficult situation.

     The question arises. Could it be avoided? Of course it was possible. Such anxiety would be prevented if parents acted in an intellectual way, had enough medical literacy, and listened to the doctors' opinions. Every parent wants his child to be happy. But it is not possible to achieve the desired wish. Unfortunately, some of our compatriots are facing the fate of their children, making it difficult for them to do so.

     As a physician, I can say from my professional and life experience that it is desirable for girls to be 20 to 22 years of age and younger than 24 to 26 years old. Young men and women are ready to be ready to build a family fortune at this age.

     Again, it should be noted that pregnant women with premature marriage are more severely affected. During pregnancy, there are various pathologic, extra genital diseases, saturation, various negative effects in the bone structure. This can lead to the development of a fetus, which negatively affects maternal and child health.

     At the same time, not only early, but also marriages between relatives can lead to such negative consequences. To be more precise, such marriages result in the birth of more disabled children.

    Recently I received a pregnant woman. She was waiting for her third child. The nerves were tense, and the symptoms of severe psychological disturbances were evident. I was surprised to find that the second son of this woman who was bride to her aunt had not grown up in the right leg. She was worrying that her third child also wept bitterly at the thought that he would not be born with a defect. The woman was provided with all necessary medical care. But it is difficult for the medical team to find out exactly whether the child will be born as a result of a close marriage.

     The fact that marriage between close relatives is harmful, despite the fact that this is scientifically justified and repeated, it is necessary to strengthen the propagation and explanatory work on this issue by the siblings, relatives and close relatives.

    Our religion Islam does not allow marrying close relatives. In particular, there are verses in the Qur'an, as well as a number of hadiths that we should know well and get the right conclusions from them.

Family is the basis of the society. The more families are strong, the more society will grow. One of the most important tasks facing our society today is to bring up a spiritually mature, energetic and physically strong young generation. To do so, we need to do all the things that parents need to do to help our children grow up healthy. Preventing marriages, especially between early and relative families, plays an important role in maintaining the lineage of our nation and preventing the birth of children with disabilities.
