In Pakistan, illiteracy rate is
above 60% and due to this illiteracy and lack of education in any field either
it is professional or about the health of people we are "ZERO" in mostly every
field. Now a day, we have facing so many problems like load shedding, petrol
prices or shortage of food items but with these problems we are facing another
serious problem and that is immature marriages.
Specially in rural areas, Parents suppose that there daughters are biggest
problems of their lives and that's why they wish to marry their daughter in the
age of 12 to 18. This create so many problems for that girls who is going to
marry a man of age 30. This is also called "immature marriages". This is mostly
done in northern areas or in interior sindh. In these areas people think that if
a girl has grown older her thoughts must be rigid, she knows how to defend
herself or how to protect herself. She also knows about her rights that's why
they supposed a girl must married in the age of 12 to 18.
Now lets talk about her health issues. Girls are health conscious in this age so
they don't take proper diet, they also have so many burden related to their
families. They are not mentally and physically prepare for conceiving a baby,
blood deficiency is also there in most of the girls so in this case most of the
girls are not able of conceiving a baby. If they conceive a baby then after a
birth of a baby.... a child leaves deficiency in mother, she is going to be weak
day by day and for planning a next baby she must be very careful.
This immature marriages must be control by health departments. This can also
help us in decreasing population rate.
