It is painful to see that child marriage is one of the major problem in Pakistan which is being practiced and is ongoing in the rural areas in the country. Moreover, According to a UN report published in 2014 that one in every five girls in South Asia is married off before her 15th birthday. As far as Pakistan is concerned, approximately 29pc of girls in rural and 16pc in the urban areas which are reportedly married off before they were 18 and also over 70pc of births in the country are not registered as well. The cases of child marriage are increasing day by day and multiple children’s health and education is being destroyed in entire Pakistan. But unfortunately, despite such moves, Pakistan’s government seems to be failing in its attempt to address the problem which has been affecting the precious education and health of the small girls in the country.
So, I humbly request the government of Pakistan to take steps to eradicate the issue of child marriage in order to save their health and education so that they must not face any difficulties in their lives. And the parents must take care of their children, so that that they must not marry them in early age.
