Shaheen Niaz tells Newsweek about continuing her education after getting married at 11.
I have very scarce memories of my childhood before school. I remember playing with friends in muddy puddles after it rained. We would make clay pots or create dolls and balls out of wet dirt to entertain ourselves with. And, I helped my mother with chores at home; often going into the field and cutting crops.
I was six years old when my education began. A charity called The Citizens Foundation was building a school in the village and before construction on the building started, I helped clear the land. There was initially some debate about whether the structure would be used for a hospital or a school, but I was hoping and praying it would be the latter.When the school opened there was a lot of retaliation within the community.
My father just said he would go along with my mother's decision, whatever that might be. But my grandfather, who was living with us at the time, had a big influence within the family and was in support of my going to school.
