There is not a single child under 16 in Pakistan military. Pakistani laws strictly prohibit the use of child soldiers from being recruited into army. children under 16 are enlisted formally in Pakistani army schools and academies for seeking education and training but they are not sent in to regular army unless they are of 18 years age. After completing their 18 years age they are given open choice to continue join regular army or leave it. And according to international and national laws of Pakistan 18 is the age of majority.
