zài在bā jī sī tǎn巴基斯坦nán páng zhē pǔ南旁遮普,yǒu xiē有些nǚ hái女孩hěn很xiǎo小jiù就jié hūn结婚le了。

In Southern Punjab, Pakistan, some girls get married very young.

shí sì十四suì岁de的zǔ nài lā祖奈拉běn lái本来xiǎng想dāng当kē xué科学lǎo shī老师,dàn但jiā lǐ家里ràng让tā她jià嫁gěi给le了yí gè一个bǐ比tā她dà大hěn很duō多de的nán rén男人。

Zunaira, who is fourteen, originally wanted to be a science teacher, but her family made her marry a man much older than her.

tā她de的mā mā妈妈hěn很nán guò难过,dàn但shuō说jiā lǐ家里méi yǒu没有bàn fǎ办法。

Her mother was very sad but said the family had no choice.

suī rán虽然bā jī sī tǎn巴基斯坦yǒu有fǎ lǜ法律guī dìng规定nǚ hái女孩shí bā十八suì岁cái néng才能jié hūn结婚,dàn但zài在nóng cūn农村,hěn很duō多rén人hái shì还是ràng让nǚ ér女儿zǎo zǎo早早jié hūn结婚。

Although Pakistan has a law that girls must be eighteen to marry, in rural areas many still marry their daughters early.

hěn很duō多nǚ hái女孩jié hūn结婚hòu后bù néng不能jì xù继续shàng xué上学,zhǐ néng只能zài jiā在家zuò做jiā wù家务。

Many girls cannot continue school after marriage and can only do housework at home.

zǎo hūn早婚duì对nǚ hái女孩de的jiàn kāng健康yě也bù hǎo不好,shēng hái zi生孩子shí时gèng更róng yì容易yǒu有wēi xiǎn危险。

Early marriage is also bad for girls' health and makes childbirth more dangerous.

yǒu xiē有些lǎo shī老师hé和jiā zhǎng家长kāi shǐ开始bāng zhù帮助nǚ hái女孩,ràng让tā men她们duō多dú shū读书,bú yào不要tài太zǎo早jié hūn结婚。

Some teachers and parents have started helping girls to study more and not marry too early.

yǒu有de的zōng jiào宗教lǐng xiù领袖yě也shuō说,qiǎng pò强迫hé和tài zǎo太早jié hūn结婚shì是bù不duì对de的。

Some religious leaders also say that forced and early marriage is wrong.

xiàn zài现在,zhèng fǔ政府zhèng zài正在nǔ lì努力ràng让měi gè每个hái zi孩子dōu都yǒu有chū shēng zhèng míng出生证明,zhè yàng这样kě yǐ可以gèng更hǎo好dì地bǎo hù保护nǚ hái女孩。

Now, the government is working hard to give every child a birth certificate, which can better protect girls.

dà jiā大家xī wàng希望nǚ hái女孩men们néng能yǒu有zì jǐ自己de的xuǎn zé选择,jiàn kāng健康kuài lè快乐dì地zhǎng dà长大。

Everyone hopes girls can have their own choices and grow up healthy and happy.
