Abstract:
The researcher assessed trends and patterns of marital timing and child marriage (CM) among women of reproductive age in Nigeria. Four rounds of Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey data-set were used (1990-2013). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Cox-regression model with time-dependent covariates (α = 0.05). CM (<18 years) falls consistently from 63.8% in 1990 to 56.3% in 2013. The hazard ratio of CM was 1.24 (CI =1.19-1.28, p < .001), 1.24 (CI =1.19-1.29, p < .001), and 1.05 (CI =1.02-1.07, p < .001) times higher in 1990, 2003, and 2008, respectively than 2013. The region, education, religion, and ethnicity are common predictors of CM in all the survey rounds.
