In traditional farming cultures, as Pakistan was, women had few roles other than being a mother. They did not go to school and were not expected to get a job. They were expected to be able to have lots of children so the trend became to marry straight after puberty so that girls would have the maximum number of fertile years to have children. Even though the culture has changed over time some families do put pressure on girls to marry young for fear that she will be too old to have kids later.
