The Impact of Having Siblings on Early Female Marriage: Evidence from Mali and Sierra Leone Abstract Early female marriage is perceived as a persisting problem of many less-developed countries, that brings various negative consequences not only for girls but also for the society as a whole. The main objective of this bachelor thesis is to contribute to the research on possible risk factors of this traditional practice. Specifically, it investigates whether and how the number of siblings affects the probability of a girl getting married or entering into cohabiting union before her 18th birthday. Parental incentives underpinning early female marriage are discussed mainly in relation to the theory of intra-household resource allocation and sibling rivalry. Special attention is paid to the impact of sibling age structure on household decision-making process about daughters' marriage timing. Consequently, an empirical test is conducted for two West African countries, Mali and Sierra Leone, using data from the latest available Demographic and Health Surveys. Based on the empirical analysis of this data, there is no evidence that the total number of siblings or their age structure has any significant impact on the probability of a girl getting married or entering into union early in the countries under study.
