Early Marriage

Shazia: (From Far) Saleema auntee… Saleema auntie… hello… what are you doing here? How are you?

Saleema: (Wondering) hello to you… hope you be fine… how are you Shazia Jan?

Shazia: (With Joy) hope you live long… I am fine… I think there is something happening… you did a lot of shopping…

Saleema: (Happily) I purchased some cloths for Farzana… tonight suitors are coming… we are going to give the sweets tonight…

Shazia: (Wondering) Farzana?… the one who is in class seventh… she is very small yet… isn’t she?

Saleema: (Joyfully) yes,… she has started her fourteenth year… but from the body aspect she is well grown…the suitors are not letting her… this time someone came from abroad and I have planned to accept the proposal…

Shazia: (With Regrets) do not ruin her life Saleema auntie… it is a sin… she is just a child… let her complete her studies… and if she likes then let her go to university.

Saleema: (Unhappily) what should I do Shazia Jan?… her father is too much forcing… he is saying that once the girl get grown then she should be married.

Shazia: (With anxiety) please try to convince my uncle in this regard… haven’t you seen my cousin?… she got married when she was too young… she was untaught and was not familiar with the rules of the life… she got pregnant very soon… and at the time of delivery she passed away… this life belongs to Farzana…

Saleema: (Thinking) this is right Shazia Jan… it is right… let me go home… once I go home then I will talk to both of them.

Shazia: It is ok auntie… you can go… I am also getting late… be sure not to ruin the life of your daughter…

Message of Spot: At least the proper age for marriage among the girls is 18 years, early marriages lead to their destruction; without sadness it doesn’t have anything else, let’s give the chance of living to our daughters.
