In Southern Punjab, Pakistan, some girls get married very young.
Zunaira, who is fourteen, originally wanted to be a science teacher, but her family made her marry a man much older than her.
Her mother was very sad but said the family had no choice.
Although Pakistan has a law that girls must be eighteen to marry, in rural areas many still marry their daughters early.
Many girls cannot continue school after marriage and can only do housework at home.
Early marriage is also bad for girls' health and makes childbirth more dangerous.
Some teachers and parents have started helping girls to study more and not marry too early.
Some religious leaders also say that forced and early marriage is wrong.
Now, the government is working hard to give every child a birth certificate, which can better protect girls.
Everyone hopes girls can have their own choices and grow up healthy and happy.
