Abstract:
Adolescent pregnancy poses a notable public health issue globally, impacting both developed and developing countries and giving rise to human rights concerns related to education and health. The unpreparedness of adolescent girls for pregnancy and childbirth makes them vulnerable to health complications and negative consequences. In Pakistan, adolescent pregnancy often occurs within the context of marriage where 29% of women are married by age 18 and the adolescent pregnancy based on the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2017-18.
