Access to education and professional opportunities for girls was uneven, with many leaving school at 15 without qualifications. The fear of getting pregnant out of wedlock was prevalent, as access to contraception and sex education was limited. Early marriage was common, but easier access to divorce from 1969 provided a way out for some women.
