Some of you make it sound like young pregnanicies are the norm in Britian.
These things probably happen more in Pakistan, only difference is they go unreported, like everything else they get brushed under the carpet.
There is no religion in the West anymore so teaching abstinence has no basis.
You can tell a young Muslim to abstain from sex untill marriage or he/she'll burn in hell and they might abstain but telling an athiest/secularist young adult to abstain from something so delicious for the sake of abstaining is not going to work.
The best that can be done is to stress the importance of contraception for pregnancy and disease prevention.
Britain is a welfare state so at worst the state will provide the basic essentials (Roti, Kapprra, Makaan, Taleem) for the child.
Islamic countries should be welfare states too, the West actually got the welfare state system from us Muslims, it's from our Prophet (S) and the Khulafa-e-Rashideen (R) who provided for these sort of people out of the Bait ul-Maal but sadly us Muslims have lost all that grandeur, we've fallen a lot and such a state is not possible in any Muslim country in the near future unless we acknowledge our problems and shortcomings.
Well Said.
One the other hand prostitution is also common in Pakistan, specially in Lahore and Karachi. But Pakistanis believe otherwise.
