Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

DHS reports give this indicator for older age intervals too, not just 20-24. I agree that it's important to consider older age groups (representing different birth cohorts of women) in order to see trends. But when there is a focus on age 20-24, it's probably because that's the youngest five-year cohort that had full exposure to the risk of marrying below 18. It best describes the "current" pattern.
