Since its foundation in 1954, the United Nations has written into its major
covenants the need to establish minimum ages for marriage. But the custom of
marriage is a high sensitive cultural issue, mainly because it is so unpleasantly 1.______
involved with women’s rights and societal traditions and practices, and rules
on marriage vary widely between countries. Some countries, particularly in
West Africa, still do not have a legal age for marriage. 2.______
In the West, 13-year-old is still considered a child. Even getting married 3.______
in one’s later teens is not usually encouraged because married life is likely to 4.______
interfere in a young woman’s education and consequently restrict opportunities 5.______
in later life. And there are also physical dangers in giving birth so young.
The World Health Organization has over the past ten years identified early
childbirth as a major cause of female immortality in many countries. 6.______
Under Islamic religious law, the age of consent for sex and marriage
is puberty, which Muslims say is in harmony with the biological transition
from childhood into adult. In Muslim countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran 7.______
and Pakistan, the age of puberty at around 13 or 14 is the legal minimum
age for marriage. It is declared that by allowing earlier marriages, Islamic 8.______
law is promoting stable relationships, while Western laws are encouraging
promiscuity among young people.
In many countries, the trends of urbanization and education for girls
have seen a rise in the number of child brides. However, early marriages 9.______
continue to occur in poor rural areas, where society works very much on
personal arrangement between families, villages and communities. It is
clear that child marriages are connected with poverty, lack of education
and rural customs such as dowries; there don’t tend to be any child
marriages in urban or rich areas. So, until these real causes are addressed, 10.______
it will be extremely hard to enforce change, even when change is dictated
by a country’s governing body.
选项
答案
later——late
解析
本题为形容词误用。later表示“稍后,后来”。但此处与13岁比较,指稍大些的少年,不到20岁,固定用法为late teens,类似的还有in his late thirties。
