A survey undertaken by Maastricht University and the
Verwey-Jonker Institute found that every year about 250 illegal marriages
are conducted between children. The researchers say that
it is very difficult to get exact figures because these marriages take place in
closed communities. Of the 500 child
marriages in 2013 and 2014, about 160 took place between asylum seekers. In particular in the Somalian community, such
marriages happen relatively frequently.
