            Adolescence in Pakistan: Sex, Marriage and Reproductive Health
                        "In Pakistan, SRH is closely associated with
marriage as there are strong social mores which discourage sexual activity
outside of marriage. For many women, early marriage is followed by early and
closely spaced pregnancies, resulting in high levels of maternal mortality
and morbidity. In order to assess the current SRH situation in Pakistan,
Marie Stopes Society (MSS) conducted a baseline knowledge, attitude and
practice (KAP) survey in four districts. This report presents the findings
from that survey that relate specifically to adolescence…" Marie Stopes
