    In a recent 2024 study:

    …between 2000 and 2019. Over 75 % of all married children in each state were girls. Girls married men who were an average of 4 years older than they were, and the age gap was substantially larger when girls married than when boys married.

      Thanks. I assumed it was heavily that way, but 75% is probably lower than I would have guessed.
