Islamic Republic of Pakistan Child Marriages: 7.3 Million

(CNSNews.com) -- According to a Gallup survey [1], approximately 7.3 million people in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan were married before the age of 16, and an additional 15.5 million Pakistanis got married before they were 18. Gallup calls this "child marriage" for its survey purposes.

Gallup focused on three countries -- Paksitan, Myanmar (Burma), and Cambodia -- and "asked people aged 15 and older what age they were when they started living with their first spouse or partner."

Young marriage age was quite common in this country in the early 1900's too.  My great aunt married at the age of 13 on Christmas Day 1915.  She turned 14 in March.  (My uncle was 18)  Their first child was born 2 years later. She had sisters who married anywhere from 16 to 33.

Only acceptable if Christians and non Muslims do it.
