UNICEF has issued a report on the number of boys who get married around the world. It estimates that 115 million boys and men were married as children. Of these, one in five, or 23 million, were married before the age of 15. The report is UNICEF's first ever in-depth study of child grooms. UNICEF said a lot of news focuses on young girls being forced into marriage as child brides. The new report looks at the same problem of forced marriage but with boys. The UN agency looked at data from 82 countries. It found that child marriage among boys is common in countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia and nations in the Pacific. The Central African Republic has the highest rate of child grooms.

聯(lián)合國兒童基金會發(fā)布了一份關(guān)于全球男孩結(jié)婚人數(shù)的報告。據(jù)估計，有1.15億男孩和男人在孩童時期就結(jié)婚了。其中，五分之一，即2300萬人，在15歲之前結(jié)婚。這份報告是聯(lián)合國兒童基金會對兒童新郎的首次深入研究。聯(lián)合國兒童基金會表示，很多新聞關(guān)注的是年輕女孩被迫結(jié)婚成為童養(yǎng)媳。這份新報告也關(guān)注了同樣的強(qiáng)迫婚姻問題，但對象是男孩。該聯(lián)合國機(jī)構(gòu)研究了82個國家的數(shù)據(jù)。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，在非洲、拉丁美洲、亞洲和太平洋國家，男孩之間的童婚很常見。中非共和國的兒童新郎率最高。?

UNICEF commented on the damage child marriage does to boys. It said: "Marriage steals childhood. Child grooms are forced to take on adult responsibilities for which they may not be ready. Early marriage brings early fatherhood, and with it added pressure to provide for a family, cutting short education and job opportunities." UNICEF spoke about the harm child marriage does to boys and girls. It said: "When we think about child marriage we often think about girls, and rightly so because girls are most affected, but boys do marry in childhood." It added: "[Child marriage] creates a burden for boys to take on adult responsibilities and roles when they are still children themselves, like providing for a family."

聯(lián)合國兒童基金會就童婚對男孩造成的傷害發(fā)表了評論。它說:“婚姻偷走了童年。兒童新郎被迫承擔(dān)成人的責(zé)任，他們可能還沒有準(zhǔn)備好。早婚帶來了早育，同時也增加了養(yǎng)家糊口的壓力，縮短了教育和就業(yè)機(jī)會。”聯(lián)合國兒童基金會談到了童婚對男孩和女孩的傷害。它說:“當(dāng)我們想到童婚時，我們經(jīng)常想到女孩，這是正確的，因?yàn)榕⑹苡绊懽畲?，但男孩確實(shí)在童年結(jié)婚。”報告還說:“童婚給男孩帶來了負(fù)擔(dān)，讓他們在自己還是孩子的時候就承擔(dān)起成人的責(zé)任和角色，比如養(yǎng)家糊口。”
