Being forced to live with a person you barely know for the rest of your life, with no way out is totally horrifying. According to stats in Pakistan 20 percent of women are married before the age of 18, and most of these marriages are forced. To many it may seem like a high profile social issue, but if you think about it on a personal level you will realize that it is simply cruel. Forcing a child in a marriage, whose happiness is in playing freely and living peacefully with their parents, is no way fair. They barely know the meaning of marriage.
For me this is inhumane. Ive read a lot of articles about how human rights are fighting for it. A child, as early as 8 years old were given in marriage to a guy who's old enough to be their father. Some cases, little girls died after the sexual intercourse because their bodies are too young and cannot yet handle such activity. Why has the world is keeping a blind eye and deaf ear to this issue? Let those little kids be a kid and live as normal kids do. Let them enjoy childhood and dont let their innocence be taken away in such manner. I really hope and pray for this taboo to be an act punishable by law.
Little girls are forced to marry much older men because any male person of their family such as father, uncle, or brother has committed a crime and instead of being punished they give the girls on marriage to any person of the victim's family. In addition of being forced to be married at a young age they are treated inhumanely by their in laws who are seeking revenge.
