A study notes 13.3 percent of native American girls aged 5 to 2 are married, contrasting with 63 percent in later generation. 38 major cities show similar contrasts. Intermarriages within village lineages and large shares bearing same surname exist. Officials warn that romantic notions of love fail to mask severe immaturity and social harms.
