The China Pakistan Economic Corridor (Cpec) has not only strengthened the relationship between Pakistan and China but also increased people-to-people.

There are reports that claim that the girls face mistreatment by their husbands and in-laws in China.

Why are Pakistani girls getting ready to marry Chinese men?
Despite cultural differences and fear of mistreatment, many Pakistani girls are getting ready to get married to Chinese men. The reason behind is poverty in Pakistan.
