本文探讨了洪都拉斯农村地区童婚、机构和学校教育之间的关系。通过深入的定性案例研究，我们解决了以下问题：（1）在哪些方面，如果有的话，女孩行使机构在他们的决定结婚？(2)教育如何增强女孩的能动性，扩大她们的选择范围，推迟结婚年龄？我们认为，缺乏对年轻女孩决策过程的了解阻碍了干预措施的设计和实施，以解决童婚问题。我们的深入，定性的案例研究使我们能够记录女孩行使的机构是如何同时薄，机会主义，包容和反对。回到Ahearn的概念，代理作为社会文化介导的能力采取行动（2001年a，112），我们的研究结果表明，教育，以提高青春期女孩的代理，它必须改变社会文化条件，限制他们的行动，针对个别女孩，家庭和社区。
This article examines the relationships between child marriage,1 agency, and schooling in rural Honduras. Through an in-depth qualitative case study, we address the following questions: (1) In what ways, if any, do girls exercise agency in their decision to marry? (2) How might education enhance girls’ agency, expanding their choice sets and delaying the age of marriage? We argue that a lack of understanding of the decision-making processes of young girls impedes the design and implementation of interventions to address child marriage. Our in-depth, qualitative case study allows us to document how the agency that girls exercise is simultaneously thin, opportunistic, accommodating, and oppositional. Returning to Ahearn’s notion of agency as the socioculturally mediated capacity to act (2001a, 112), our findings suggest that for education to enhance adolescent girls’ agency it must transform the sociocultural conditions that constrain their actions, targeting individual girls, families, and communities.
