The Pakistani society, like the Chinese society, is centered on the family member/family tree, not the individual. This is social tradition, and there are good places and bad places.In the West, we have emancipated minors. Normally they separate from their family, work and live on their own, have children, or marry at a young age and are considered adults. They have the same rights as adults.
There need to be exceptions to this case for extraneous circumstances.
Orphans who wish to become independent, children who escape abusive homes and wish to marry, children who wish to change their religion and fear their family (as in recent case of two Hindu origin girls,) and respect for tribal law.
It cannot be applied to the Eastern society with the individualism of Western society. Otherwise, it will cause confusion and social instability.
Do you really think that prosperous Singapore is a Western society? I tell you that Singapore is a Confucian society with good law system who is dominated by Chinese as the main body, family-centered, and one-party long-term ruling(Lee Kuan Yew, Lee Hsien Loong) .
