Table 5 presents the actual incidence of early marriage among our

95 respondents, with a mean score of M=1.51 this falls under very early

or 14 years and below basing on table 4.

Table 6 shows the result of effect of income on the incidence rate of

early marriage, with alpha greater than 0.06 P=0.166 the data shows

that there is no significant effect of income on the incidence rate of early

marriage.

to Age

Table 7 shows the actual result of the difference on incidence rate

of early marriage when grouped according to age, with alpha less than

0.05 P=0.000 the data show that there is a significant difference on the

incidence of early marriage when grouped according to their age.
