Abstract
This study investigated that adolescence pregnancy is against the spirit of ethnography and pernicious things. Early marriages and anti-child marriages are raising phenomena in the entire world. In this modern era the women empowerment is a globalized subject. Pakistani culture and norms impedes the women's basic rights and women seclusion (in shape of Pardah). The basic reason for that problem is the roots of hierarchy, feudal and patriarchal system. Various traditions are jeopardizing Pakistani culture in the contour of (Vani, lajia, Swara strong, Sang Chati) etc. These illicit customary practices are imposed on women and adolescent's mothers in Pakistani fraternity. On behalf of omen customary practices teen mothers have to face domestic violence like children, abusing, financial, economical and psychological misuse and some time resolving feud. It's become a hot issue because girls having a baby at the same time they have to go to school. They suffer from different kinds of tribulations regarding their education and career. Mostly such kinds of girls consider injudicious and stereotype. To explore these phenomena the study was designed purely qualitative in nature. Teen mothers were selected from two Tehsils, Government Girls High Schools from Tehsil Kasur, and Tehsil Kot Radha Kishan, in District Kasur. Snowball and purposive sampling technique were used and then Eighteen (18) letters were sent to the parents, and fifteen (15) letters were signed. The total sample of the study was fifteen (15). In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted for the participants through auditory recording and then rewrite in a different script. Thematic analysis and highlighted approach were used in the study. From these major themes highlighted materials were promoted with real explanation and conclusion. The thematic perspective gives some poverty symbols and the reason of early childhood marriage. The fear of landlord property was also one interesting reason of a teen mother. This empirical research study identified the miserable condition of adolescent young mothers in society. So, the federal Ministry of national health services regulation, the National MNCH Program should take part fruitfully in the awareness of adolescent mother's problems in schools. Similarly, welfare program should carry out for these cultural practices, which is a big stumbling block for women empowerment in the society. Teen mother's knobbing gears are a crucial phenomenon during their getting education in the school.
