Pakistan bans child marriage, setting minimum age at 18 with penalties for offenders.
Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari signed a law banning child marriage, setting the minimum legal age at 18.
Offenders could face up to one year in prison and a fine, while men marrying underage girls may face up to three years.
The law also allows courts to prevent underage marriages and protect the identities of reporting parties.
Despite opposition from religious groups, the law aims to protect children's rights, as Pakistan has one of the highest rates of child brides globally.
