It's the rural areas. Sigh. They have more kids so that they could help them come out of poverty. Awareness is slowly spreading. We have had a slogan for a while 'hum do, humare do' which translates to 'we 2, our kids 2'. Most urban families have 1 or 2 kids.

oke, understand bit better now, ps i recently heard of e "movement"thats about Kids have NO desission in beign Born/brought to the world or not, So if you give brith to a child you should do anything for that child-not use/mistreat it, becaue the child never had a coiche of beign born or not. The Idea is that giving birth to a child is Selfish, thought that movement came from Indai or Asia, maybe this is started because of that situation, getting Kids to sell them/using them to get more money, specially grils who are sold as a bride

That's interesting. I haven't heard of that before. Yeah child labor and marriage is a big issue, slowly being eradicated.
