Young people in Pakistan face challenges such as child marriage, which have adverse consequences on their education, employment, health and overall well-being. 

We conducted interviews (26) and focus group discussions (12) with young people (15 to 24 years) and community stakeholders to understand how child marriage is perceived by them and to gain insight into the decision-making regarding marriage of youth in Sindh, Pakistan.
