[Population policy concerning marriage in third world countries].
The efforts of developing countries to increase the minimum legal age at marriage are reviewed.  The author describes the problems in measuring the effect of such legal changes on fertility and concludes that "the role of a marriage policy instituted within the frame of an anti-natalist population policy can be assessed only within the frame of the overall conditions of a given country and with due consideration to human rights and the rights of the family."
