Child marriages, that is marrying off girls below the ages of 18 years, is common in Pakistan, especially in rural areas. Many of the child marriages are forced and the young couple are unable to develop a bonding, and the bride finds it difficult to adjust in the matrimonial bonds. Young motherhood forces her into difficult health conditions, and the children born out of such marriages are weak and require special health care. In many of the cases, the parents force the girls into marriages for reasons of property, dowry (especially in Pushtoon tribal areas), family honor, and even for money. In Pakistan, the Government passed a Child Marriage Restraint (CMR) bill that called for arrest and punishment of marriage registrar solemnizing child marriages.

The citizen groups and NGOs are campaigning for implementation of the CRM Bill. Read More

Considerable attention and resources have been targeted at the reintegration of different groups of children over the years, yet rigorous evaluations of these interventions are rare and it is not always clear what lessons are being learnt. When evaluations do take place, the focus tends to be on whether the programme objectives were achieved, rather than on whether the activities benefited the child or how and why they made a positive impact.
