73. A 2016 survey in the Syrian Arab Republic, conducted by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the American University of Beirut and Sawa for Development and Aid, found that more than one third of 2,400 refugee women and girls between the ages of 20 and 24 years had been married before reaching the age of 18 years. Among refugee girls currently aged between 15 and 17 years, some 24 per cent are married. Before the current devastating conflict erupted, child marriage was significantly less common among Syrians. Some estimates show child marriage rates to be four times higher among Syrian refugees in 2016 than among Syrians before the crisis.70
