Moreover, the social norms related to agency and choice, such as bride prices, the position traditionally held by women in society, and religion, can also be seen as cultural norms that sometimes drive child marriage. FGM, for example, is used as a rite of passage into adulthood: a signal that a girl is ready to marry. A girl from a community practising FGM is customarily not considered ready for marriage until she has undergone FGM" (10).
