@bk613 — Great question. If it isn’t accompanied by the boys also marrying younger, it will. If it is accompanied by the boys, it won’t. But even in the former case where it will worsen it overall from a societal viewpoint, an individual girl (and her parents) will still benefit themselves and reduce their exposure to the risk by marrying younger (even if it is unhelpful from a societal view.)
