Shots were fired:
Need the (over-)confidence of the MMA rep who tabled the Early Marriage bill in the Sindh Assembly today. To literally be the only person from your party in the assembly and still wake up one morning thinking "feel like ruining the lives of kids, hope everyone supports me."

People were calling it an attention seeking tactic:

People were appalled at the country’s priorities:
Forced marriage, abusive marriage, forced conversion rapes, forced pregnancy, harassment are more important issues than this stupid thing but look at "OUR COUNTRY'S PRIORITIES" 👏 https://t.co/vo1ebOcAeW

People shared how there were more pressing issues that needed attention:
I wonder why they present unnecessary bills on the table but ignore the mandatory ones like forced conversions, rapes, child labor, child marriages? 🤷♀️

Sadly, yes!
So let me get this straight, the world is going forward in new inventions and innovations, while someone had the time, energy and the AUDACITY to submit this bill
Who is the lowlife self loathing individual who went to the trouble of coming up with this idea?? https://t.co/jBnfCMpCii

I don't know if this is a genius way to control overpopulation or a horrible encouragement of child marriage. https://t.co/epdLw5iEDS

Joke’s on them!
Biggest city of the sindh doesn't have a state owned Taxi, public transport, morgue, ambulance or any kind of emergency response service but yeah Go for the absurd bill
— Masôôd Kàmal (@imasoodk) May 26, 2021
People just didn’t get the gist of it!
What does it actually mean? Like would every parent be fined for not getting their 18 yolds married or if parents are delaying the marriage of an 18 yold that is wanting to? Or something else
