Abstract
Social workers in Nepal should target and reach out to Madeshi and Low Caste Hindu families and share the benefits of delaying their daughters' marriage until they attain the legal age. They should also inform the families, communities and local priests about the law pertaining the legal age for marriage. Additionally, they should focus on evidence based strategies to enroll and retain girls and boys in school.
