No Poverty & Decent Work and Economic Growth: Child marriage relates to the no poverty and decent work and economic growth sustainable development goals because child marriage typically happens for economic reasons. Parent who do not have much money sell off their daughters to lessen the economic burden on their family. When the girl is married off she is then considered the husbands responsibility. If there was no poverty child marriage would be less prevalent. Child brides do not receive the educational and economic opportunities that help lift them and their family out of poverty. They are more likely to be poor and remain poor.

Good Health: Child brides face high risk of death or injury. Girls who give birth before the age of 15 are 5 times more likely to die in childbirth than are girls in their 20s. Their children are less likely to live beyond their first birthday. Due to the age of these girls mixed with the possibility of becoming pregnant, good health is crucial. Child brides typically lack the knowledge or power to abstain from sex or negotiate safe sexual practices, leaving them at increased risk of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. This is also where quality education comes into play.

Quality Education: Child brides are more likely to drop out of school hindering their personal development, preparation for adulthood, and their ability to contribute to their family and community. With quality education, child marriage would be less prevalent.

Gender Equality & Reduced Inequalities: Child brides normally have little say in when or whom they will marry. Marriage often ends girls' opportunities for education, better paid work outside the home, and decision making roles in their community. If there were reduced inequalities child marriage would be less prevalent.

Innovation and Infrastructure: Going along the lines of no poverty and decent work and economic growth, one cannot have innovation and infrastructure in poverty and low education levels. The most prevalent goals (no poverty, quality education, good health, gender equality) must be met before the innovation and infrastructure goals can be met.
