there is no “cover of marriage”

https://www.girlsnotbrides.org/learning-resources/child-marriage-atlas/atlas/nepal/

33%of Nepalese girls are married before their 18th birthday and 8% are married before the age of 15.

Damn thats pretty dire. Apperently the nepali government is doing something about it, so good luck to them!

Anyway, this isnt relevant to the "cover of marriage" claim. That statistic is about marriage under 18, not polygamic marriage.
