It may be recalled that earlier, the Senate and the National Assembly of Pakistan had passed a bill banning the marriage of minors.

Under this law, the marriage registrar has been made obliged not to register the marriage of minors, and the person performing the marriage ceremony will have to verify the computerized identity cards of both parties before the marriage.

The law also prescribes punishment for a man who marries a girl below the age of 18, under which a minimum of two years and a maximum of three years of rigorous imprisonment will also be imposed, in addition to a fine. If a minor is married without consent or with consent, it will be considered as rape of a minor.

Similarly, a person who forces or encourages a minor bride or groom to marry has also been declared guilty of rape, and the person who performs such a marriage can be given 5 to 7 years of imprisonment, a fine of Rs 1 million, or both.
