10. We took a survey in which we came to a
conclusion that majority of the males
thinks 16-19 is a perfect age of marriage
while majority of the females thinks 20-23
is the perfect age of marriage.
majority of the males thinks boy or girl
gets mature for marriage at the age of
15-20 while the females thinks that boy or
girls gets mature at the age of 21-25.
40% male and female say No when they
were asked that Is it good for girls to
marry early while 60& male and female
say yes.
11. child marriage is very common in
Pakistan. From our survey we took out a
ratio among male and female so,
majority of the males thinks 25-50% while
females thinks 50-75%.
25 % male and female are in favor of
child marriage while 75% male and
female against it.
12. many people are against child
marriage
child marriage generally happens
in rural areas of the country
There are many bad effects of
child marriage on child health
The main causes for child
marriages are poverty, illiteracy
and old customs going for many
years.
13. After conducting the survey we ended to
the fact though early child marriage is
socially not accepted but still there are
some feudal which still practice early child
marriage
Through survey we were easily able to
deduce that the on behind the Early Child
Marriage is POVERTY & UNAWARENESS
Parents of the brides are unaware of the
after effects of the Early Child Marriages
TO most of them daughters to them is a
CURSE or LIABILITY
14. It was quite clear that with the increase of
level of education the topic of our survey
was quite oppose and many of the YES
changes into NO during the surveys in
urban areas.
The Rural survey demonstrated in the favor
whereas the total contradiction was seen
from urban areas
Thus to sum up we could say the solution to
Early Child Marriage is GENERATING
AWARENESS.
