Parental Child Marriage: How It Affects Kids' Food and Health

You might think that how parents got married doesn't matter much for their kids. But in Indonesia, a new study is showing different. It looked at kids whose parents got married as children themselves. They found that these kids didn't have enough food and weren't as healthy as other kids. This is important stuff for people making rules, like politicians. Parents who were kids when they got married might have had a tough life. They could have had less school and less money, which makes it hard to give kids what they need. The study found that kids with parents who got married young were more likely to go hungry and not get the right nutrients. This can affect how they grow and learn. It's a sad story, but it's also one that needs talking about. We need to understand why these kids are having a rough time. Maybe it's because their parents had less chances to learn and earn. If we know why, we can try to fix it. Some people might say it's easy to blame parents who got married young. But it's not that simple. Everyone deserves a chance to have a good life, no matter what happened to their parents. This study is a reminder that we need to support all kids, especially those who start with less. It's not just about blaming parents. It's about helping kids have a fair shot. If we can do that, we might see a change in the next generation. They'll be healthier and happier. That's something worthworking for, wouldn't you say?
