On tonight’s episode of current affairs, we’re shedding light on a troubling issue that has been on the rise in Pakistan—the increase in child marriages. Since the devastating floods of 2022, the economic crisis in rural villages has forced many families into desperate situations, leading to a surge in child marriages. We’ll explore how this crisis has affected young girls' futures and what can be done to address this growing problem. Joining me for this discussion is Dr Elisabete le Roux, Research Director of the Unit for Religion and Development Research at Stellenbosch University.
