October 05; Members of Youth Parliament urged the Parliament of Pakistan to pass the Hindu Marriage Act Bill at the earliest. Members believed that according to the Constitution of Pakistan, all citizens are equal, but unfortunately Hindu marriages are not legally registered. Because of lack of legislation many Hindu girls under age of 18 are kidnapped and forcefully converted, raped and killed. MYPs were of the opinion that it was the necessity of time that the said Bill should be approved from the Parliament and promulgated as a law at the earliest. The Resolution was presented by Mr. Mukesh Kumar (YP4-47 SINDH07), Mr. Aziz Ullah Khan (YP4-12-KP08), Mr. Fateh Ullah Khan (YP4-08-KP04) and Mr. Sadam Hussain (YP4-50-Sindh10).
