Child marriage in South Asia

Students must complete one long research paper of approximately 6-8 pages length and utilizing 3-5 academicsources on some issue involving topics related to the course. In the term paper, students will be graded on clarity, style, and the use of appropriate evidence to defend a clearly-articulated argument. Purely narrative papers- whichtell a story rather than analyzing an issue- will receive poor grades.

I want a research paper discussing gender issues in South Asia such as prostitutes , patriarchy , women role in politics , etc .. But main theme should be about child marriage and the evolution / impact of cultural and social atmosphere on it . Please use relevant sources and base it on solid arguments . It should mostly be historic not present issues . Also mention Sati , Jauhar and other traditions practiced at the time .
