Shehzad Roy tackles ‘child marriage’ with hilarious yet powerful skit
Pakistani singer, social activist and education advocate Shehzad Roy is once again winning praise on social media after sharing a satirical skit highlighting the serious issue of child marriages in society.
Using humor, sharp dialogue and witty classroom-style conversations with young girls, Shehzad Roy shed light on how deeply normalized underage marriages still are in many communities.
Sharing the clip on social media, Shehzad Roy explained that the purpose of the skit was to highlight the reality of child marriage and encourage people to question outdated social mindsets.
The satirical conversation between Roy and the students mixed humor with strong social commentary, making the message both entertaining and impactful.
In the video, Shehzad Roy jokingly brings up the common excuse often used to justify early marriages for girls. He says that many people believe if daughters are not married off early, they will “slip out of their parents’ hands.”
One student immediately responds in a hilarious tone, saying, “Sir, hum koi Pokemon hain jo haath se nikal jaayenge?” Her witty comeback left social media users laughing while also exposing the absurdity of the argument.

The humorous exchange continued when Roy mentioned another common statement people make about girls “crossing marriage age” if they are not married early. A student jokingly replied that she did not know about marriage age, but sometimes her father misses the school van in the morning instead.
Another student teased Roy by saying he should not lecture them about marriage age because, according to her, his own marriage age had already passed while everyone remained worried about the girls instead.
The skit became even more engaging when Shehzad Roy sarcastically suggested that girls quickly “learn everything” once they get married. In response, one student hilariously questioned whether getting married early would suddenly help her solve geometry problems or calculate the radius of a roti.
One of the most powerful moments in the skit came when a student pointed out that underage girls are not legally allowed to get a SIM card or driving license in their own name. She then questioned how society expects the same girls to suddenly handle marriage and raise children.

“If I cannot legally get a SIM card or drive a car, then how can I handle a child or run a household?” the student asked, leaving Roy momentarily speechless.
Another student supported her classmate and pointed out that minors are not even allowed to sign small legal contracts, yet society expects them to enter marriage, which she described as one of the biggest responsibilities in life.
The skit also touched on cousin marriages and the health issues often linked with them. When Shehzad Roy mentioned scientific concerns related to marriages within close families, one student humorously misunderstood the topic and jokingly connected it to voting instead, making Roy burst into laughter and hold his head in disbelief.
