How can one use the prevalence of child marriages - those married by 18 years from the most current DHS data. In my mind, I was planning to use the prevalence of child marriages for those 20-24 years and estimated population 20-24 years to estimate the number of girls who got married before 18 years and then divide by 4 (age 15,16,17 and 18). Assuming that marriages are uniformly distributed. The reason I am using 20-20 is because this more current cohort rather than use for 20-49 years. Is this a sensible approach.
Your suggestion and support is appreciated.
