The Constitution of Uganda provides clarity on the issue of family rights and issues fourteen recommendations on these rights in its text. Under the Constitution of Uganda, the legal marriage age for both men in women is eighteen years old. However, there is strong evidence of girls in Uganda quitting school to become a child bride. According to the U.S. Embassy in Uganda, in 2017, Uganda faced one of the highest rates of early marriage globally. It was reported that 40% of girls in Uganda married prior to turning eighteen. In 2017, 10% of Ugandan girls were married before the age of fifteen.
