Underage marriage||The human rights violations

 

                            Underage marriage||The human rights violations 

            Underage marriage continues to be one of the leading issues and rampant evil practices in this country, which deprives the girl child of the right to complete her education and other basic needs.

            In addition, Unicef estimates that Pakistan has the sixth-highest number of child brides in the world, with approximately 21pc being married off before reaching the age of 18; and 3pc before the age of 15. Indeed, underage marriage means loss of childhood life and it is illegal to work which is being done everywhere, rather it is the age to play, do fun, etc but not. 

            In other words, it hurts me to utter that it has long-term consequences for girls’ both education and physical health, and also underage marriages end many precious girls' lives because they were not able to bear the hard pains body and take custody of the family. Due to what many girls were caused by dangerous diseases like frequent cancer, blood cancer, pregnancy problems and etc.

           Hence, I request to all parents instead of committing children to early marriages, to guide and show them the right paths which will lead them towards a successful life.
