Child marriage generally refers to an immoral and illegal practice
of marrying boys and girls before they reach a minimum adult age.
21% Girls are married off before 18th and 3% girls before 15th.
Across rural areas and across Gilgit Baltistan marriage
age is the lowest.
Marriage should be a time of celebration and start of new life, unless you
belong to a those who were forced to get married before they turn 18. This is
normally happening in the areas where education is not provided. It is not just
about brides but also grooms where young boys at the age of 6-8 are being
forced to get married and often have to drop from the school. Most of the time
child marriages are about money. As a girl gets old, the payment from bride’s
family to groom’s family goes up. Child marriage is not just a developing world
problem in-fact it happens in every religion and region of the world.
Conclusion:
Only education can help a child in a delay of early marriage and could help the
child to get away from poverty. Special bills/programs should be provided in
the areas where education should be made compulsory and law should be
passed which doesn’t allow a citizen to get married until the child can reach to
certain age which should be 20 years.
