Structured PREreview of Young Brazilian Wives: Child Marriage, Girls' Marginalisation, and Agency

Does the introduction explain the objective of the research presented in the preprint?

Partly

Although the sixth paragraph of the introduction explicitly mentions the research objectives, the explanation was incomplete and did not clearly convey to the reader the focal importance and main objective to be achieved through that research and the publication of that article.

Are the methods well-suited for this research?

Somewhat appropriate

The research is based on official data from the Brazilian government and specialized literature on the topic "child marriage and abuse", but I feel that there was a lack of a specific chapter or topic clarifying to the reading public which metrics should be used to prepare the premises and conclusion of the research presented in the article.

Are the conclusions supported by the data?

Somewhat supported

The conclusion of the article was written in line with the factual scenario demonstrated by the data presented in the research. However, I feel that the recommendations made and the textual closure of the article were somewhat generic, without the depth that the seriousness of the topic requires.

Are the data presentations, including visualizations, well-suited to represent the data?

Somewhat appropriate and clear

The article has few tables and graphs tabulating data to be compared. There is a lot of data that is transcribed in paragraphs, perhaps it would be easier to visualize if they were inserted into graphs and tables.

How clearly do the authors discuss, explain, and interpret their findings and potential next steps for the research?

Somewhat clearly

Although there are no inconsistencies between the data presented in the research and the author's position in relation to the topic, I feel that the author could explore the topic better and more completely, the positions are somewhat generic and do not allow for the necessary depth, considering such a serious topic.

Is the preprint likely to advance academic knowledge?

Somewhat likely

The preprint contains interesting information that is sufficiently based on statistics and scientific literature, therefore I consider it suitable for advancing academic knowledge.

Would it benefit from language editing?

No

The language and vocabulary used in the article are appropriate for a scientific text

Would you recommend this preprint to others?

Yes, but it needs to be improved

Yes, I would recommend it, as the text of the article deals with a topic of great importance and urgency, and is based on solid data, even though the research writing could be better elaborated and the topics covered with greater depth and less common sense.

Is it ready for attention from an editor, publisher or broader audience?

Yes, after minor changes

The article needs some corrections and further elaboration in relation to some points of view defended by the author

Competing interests
