Great idea, bringing more kids into poverty.  Get a  proper social security, health, education and pension system in place before you produce yet more dirt poor farmers, bar girls, road workers and beggars.  A very stupid statement among so many.

Pull all girls out of school and deny them the opportunities for meaningful employment.
