To discuss different traditional practices that lead to child marriages in Malawi; 3. To analyse Malawi's legal framework and its compliance with international and regional standards for the protection of girls against child marriages; 4. To make suggestions for the available legal framework, if necessary, on how best to address the problem of child marriages in Malawi.en_US
