Selling obscene stuff to young people is illegal

According to the provisions of section 293 of Pakistan Penal Code obscene things are illegal to be sold to people under the age of twenty years. The original words of the enactment are produced here after. 


293.Sale, etc., of obscene objects to young person:
Whoever sells, lets to hire, distributes, exhibits or circulates to any person under the age of twenty years any such obscene object as is referred to in the last preceding section, or offers or attempts so to do, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to six months, or with fine, or with both.

This is a unique section of law that declares a person young after the age of 20 years in Pakistan In other circumstances adults are mentioned to be young and mature in the eyes of law.
