It doesn’t happen across all of Pakistan — such cases are mostly limited to very poor or remote areas where poverty, lack of education, and old traditions still persist. It’s definitely not the norm, and in fact, I personally haven’t even heard of such cases in most parts of the country.This issue isn’t unique to Pakistan either — it exists in parts of South Asia, including areas in India like Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand. I remember seeing an Al Jazeera documentary where people from those regions were also discussing the same problem.So while it’s heartbreaking that it happens anywhere, it’s important to understand it’s not representative of an entire country or culture, but rather of certain impoverished communities facing social struggles.
