Description
This research paper was written as part of my research seminar with Dr Feizabadi for my course ‘Radicalism, Liberalism and Conservatism’. It was a group project with Safia Hussaina and Anusha Somani as co-contributors. The paper focused primarily on child and forced marriages in Pakistan while analyzing the laws and loopholes in the socio-cultural and political system which are aimed at governing it. The paper was inspired by another research paper I wrote during my semester abroad at Stanford University.
