Children giving birth to children in Pakistan!

But marriage is?

I was talking about very young girls of 13-15. Marriage aged 16-19 is undesirable but not the end of the world.

Ok,we agree on something

no it doesnt, there is no prove what so ever.
teenage girl can have babies when she reached puberty. heath risk between teenage and women in hers late 20s are almost same..

Yes it does, genetics counts for about 1/3 and environment takes care of the rest. Teenage parents are mainly accidental not on purpose, how is that even safe for the child if the parent isn't ready or prepared to do what needs to be done.

It's still so rare as to barely be an issue in the case of under 16s. There are many 16-19 year olds who get pregenant but I don't really think having children at that age is major problem. Probably not desirable but not a major problem.

It is a major problem and if think it's not then you must not have had siblings as teenage parents or been one. I've had two, one screwed up completely and the other is "successful" but struggling.

Insane to take look back at this. But all know this happens in all of south Asia.

Main problem is struggle for survival and lack of education. Also religious and social fanaticism.

Life is tough for girls and women in these part of world.

God have mercy.

Mind your language boy.

If something is insulting and offensive, don't expect flowers buddhe.

And what exactly is insulting to you? Our well reasoned and well presented opinion?
You know who resorts to bad language and swearing? Dumbos like you who cannot back their argument with reason and logic.

How is 12-13 year old fuking random boys and vice versa is better than a marriage?
Lets debate.

Women can bear kids after puberty. The pressure on Asians to marry late must be connected to the White Man's frightening prospects of getting reduced to a miniscule minority in another 200 years or so.Therefore, these ideas including birth control,etc. While on the subject why not treat yourself with this hilarious video?

This shit was funny but also scary as ****, I really hope Indians are not putting weird creams and other junk on their private parts. You shouldn't mess with your junk, that goes for men and women. Next thing you know you have other issues.

I heard in some parts of northern SA, women rub alum/filkari to keep it taught and tight.

Forget about Indians, they are just obsessed with "whitening" things, this is whats going on in Africa and Indonesia apparently

No there's nothing to debate about. Statements that implied that without marriage 'girls' go 'sleeping around' were very very ridiculous. I really hope you never have a daughter, if you do may god protect her because you sure as hell sound scary.

I did say it was a bad thing. I just don't think it should be put in the same category as girls having babies at the beginning of their teens. The two are quite different.

Same case happens in Utter Pradesh (now renamed to Gutter Pradesh). Only recently have the practise declined. But a few happen still in the remote areas from time to time.

Though I may sound like Rahul (Gandhi) but women's empowerment is crucial to combat this. Unless you have women aware of their rights, they will have no problems marrying their children off at an early age. Mard to na mard hi hote hain. So I will leave them out of the equation.

well...they do,in europe and USA. Bad parenting i say. I would still see them as children being stupid,and with bad parents.
Which hole you live in? you do need to stick your head out sometimes and see whats happening in the world. I been to 42 countries,so i know much as a matter of fact.

These girls could have also become Malala Yousafzai or Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, but they didn’t.

They were married off in their early teens, and before they could escape childhood, some gave birth to their own children.

Child marriage is widespread in Pakistan. Girls as young as 13 are married off by their parents or guardians. Poverty, illiteracy, religious beliefs, and cultural norms and pressures are some of the reasons behind this practice. For the young mothers, early motherhood is often accompanied with high fertility, and poor maternal and children health.

Over the past five decades, significant improvement has taken place in battling child marriages.

A relatively much smaller proportion of young girls is married off today than was 50 years ago. Still, much more work is needed to curb such practices to ensure Pakistan’s future mothers and their children can lead healthy and prosperous lives.

Teenage pregnancies are not just a challenge for developing countries. Even the US is struggling with the same challenge, with additional complexities.

In 2006, one-third of all teenage girls in the US became pregnant. The US government has been struggling to curb this trend. By 2010, the numbers were down to one in four. Teenage pregnancy, birth, and abortion rates were all down. Greater awareness about contraceptives and their effective use and cultural changes are the reason behind the decline in these numbers.

In Pakistan, though, teenage pregnancies result in additional complexities. In a recent paper published in the Maternal and Child Health Journal, Muazzam Nasrullah and others explore the impact of girl child marriages on fertility in Pakistan.

Read on: Fatal conception — stilled life

Using data from the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey for 2006-07, the authors found that over 50 per cent of the ever-married women in Pakistan between the ages of 20 and 24 were married before they turned 18. Most international conventions consider individuals under 18 as children.

The authors believe that the adverse impacts of girl child marriages include high fertility rates (three or more childbirths), frequent childbirth with fewer than 24 months between births, unwanted pregnancies, and pregnancy termination.

Source: Nasrullah et. al., 2014
Pakistan has made tremendous progress in increasing the average age at marriage for girls, which increased from 13.3 years in 1950-59 to 23.1 in 2006-07. But despite the good work done, one in two young girls is still married off before she turns 18.

This has to change.

The poor health of the teenage mother and her child, and higher risks for disease and death for both should convince the governments to increase the legal age for marriage.

The main determinants of childhood marriage are the usual suspects. Most child brides have no formal education and live in Pakistan’s rural areas. Of those, who were between 20-24 years old, 75 per cent women reported at least one childbirth. Almost 32 per cent women in the same cohort gave birth to a child in the first year after their marriage. Another 20 per cent of 20-24 years old had at least once terminated a pregnancy.

The recent crisis of over 100 reported deaths of children in rural Sindh should be a revelation for the government and the public at large.

At the face of it, drought has been identified as a contributing factor. It could very well be true that these children were of poor health from the beginning and that some of them may have been born to teenage mothers.

The mother and child’s health has to become a priority in Pakistan.

But given the crisis-prone nature of the country, the government’s and the media’s focus will soon shift to yet another crisis, ignoring the deep-rooted crisis of mother and child health.

Pakistan needs to invest in its people to build a prosperous country. It can start by investing in the health of mothers and children to preserve the future generation of Pakistanis.

Children can not give birth to Children, only after hitting puberty they can reproduce

 

[Secur]

heath risk between teenage and women in hers late 20s are almost same..

There is a reason why pregnancy related deaths are so widespread in this country, marriage at an early age being one of the prime ones. Just because you can do something, doesn't always mean that you should too.
