Across Pakistan, outside many Edhi centers you will find a child swing with caption. “Do not Kill, Just Put the Child Here”. And the child in question is the one born out of wedlock.

There are few private medical clinics where they’ve put instruction boards for patients and relatives and I saw with my own eyes an instruction saying “Illegal abortion cases are not dealt here, please do not force the doctors and staff to do so”.

For me its not uncommon for girls to get knocked-up before marriage even in Pakistan. But bringing the child in this world is not prevalent as much as in west. As soon as the family knows about this, they have only two options. 1)- honor killing or 2- quickly marry her off to an unsuspected guy.

Or option 3 - marry the guy who knocked her up

I’m wondering if that or option 2 is more common
