I am from Nigeria and there has been a problem with child marriage in some places and people are fighting back against it hard and all. However someone there said they believe its fine for very young girls 9-10 to be married and have kids if they hit puberty and are developed or finished with it. They said some girls look older at that age and its fine then.

I don't think that's true as science has shown very young pregnancies are harmful. Someone replied if a 9 year old has a 15 year old body they are biologically older and its not harmful.

Are there hard facts showing very young pregnancies are harmful?

    I would suggest moving this to SE Medical Sciences, and am flagging it as such. Someone will probably help you out soon. Obviously pregnancy in children is not good, but at that site they will be able to give you better information. In the meantime, I would suggest searching pubmed. "Pregnancy in adolescence" appears to be a relevant search term but I am not an expert. Good luck.
