Representatives of civil society urged the Sindh government to strictly enforce the law of restraint with children marriage and warn that minor marriages remain violent due to poor implementation. In a dialogue in Mirpurkhas, organized by Hari Welfare Association, activists and officials expressed alarm over the persistence of practice. The event also marked the launch of a civil society for district level that focused on protecting children’s rights and preventing early marriages. Hari Welfare Association’s Executive, Akram Khaskheli, quoted Sindh-Politidata, which showed that from 2018 to 2024 272 FIRs were registered under the law, but only 30 beliefs were secured-23 in Hyderabad and no one in Karachi or Sukkur. He emphasized that the figures are under -reporting the actual extent of the problem. Deputy Director Social Welfare Department said the forum could bridge society and state agencies.
