Yes, it should be stop. However, it's a culture of their community, their beliefs and practices that may not suitable or appropriate to the eyes of many (we can say it's inhumane). Like us, we have different cultures and traditions (norms).
for me, that kind of practices should be stop to protect the rights of children.

Being forced to live with a person you barely know for the rest of your life, with no way out is totally horrifying. According to stats in Pakistan 20 percent of women are married before the age of 18, and most of these marriages are forced. To many it may seem like a high profile social issue, but if you think about it on a personal level you will realize that it is simply cruel. Forcing a child in a marriage, whose happiness is in playing freely and living peacefully with their parents, is no way fair. They barely know the meaning of marriage.
This kind of tradition must be stopped. We are in the high-tech era and people should stop believing that their family or land will be cursed if their beliefs aren't followed. I really feel sorry for those children who belong to this community. The only way out for them is to live in another place.
Well most of thesentraditions have been there for the longest time. And it's in the remote areas in the world. I don't think anything can change it however unaccepted it may be for modern times.

In Pakistan, child marriages are legal as per the law, and even if a 60-year old man marries a 10-year old girl, he is not liable to any legal action. Earlier, there were attempts by some to criminalize child marriage in Pakistan. But the religious clerics opposed this move, and therefore this attempt was dropped.

Child marriages are an even creepier section of a whole problem known as forced marriages, a forced marriage between adults is bad enough already and when you put a child in the mix things become even worst, this should be resolved by local authorities but it seems they do not want to do it and so the problem persists. 
It's a big problem in muslim dominated countries, where people of other cultures are being victims to these practices. Imagine living in a country where 80% of people are muslims, but you're not and one day they come and take your child at gunpoint. Yes, that's what they do, they steal girls and rape them (officially they marry them, but it's an abduction and rape in modern world standards), and to finish convert them to islam. Only extermination will stop them in their savage ways.
It is not wise to judge that all countries or Muslim majority like what you say, and sometimes the mass media is too much to make news about matters relating to Muslim countries, it is necessary to review the news whether the marriage of children to From their hereditary cultures from their ancestors? Or indeed the teachings of Islam in their country like that? Because in my country it is not like that, where Muslims are the majority society.It's a big problem in muslim dominated countries, where people of other cultures are being victims to these practices.

Poor boys, they will never have a nice life, they ruined their future.

I think the taboo of child marriage is because we are not used to seeing kids being married as for us marriage is a big step. Let alone force them into something without their consent thinking hat love can be learned theough time. It is one of our problems as we believe in freedom of choice and freedom to love that these kids do not enjoy.
Does religion played a role in this taboo? If they stop that culture they are living the young girls could be learned to pick for theirself.
I consider this a relic of the past and categorically against any exceptions. It is necessary to marry by own will and not earlier than 18 or better than 21 years when the child has already grown up and is ripe for such a step.
Forced child marriage is nearly swept away from here.
But a new form of it is arising as young kids are deciding to get married soon.
Kids over 12 eloping with their partner (of the same age and sometimes with huge age gap).
That would not have been a large problem if they used contraceptives, but the rise in the number of young mothers are troubling.

Our country has a rule where below 18 years of girls cannot get married and boys below 21 cannot be married legally. There are few still in villages where they get married but now as the time is chaining so they are to some extent. This will help them to firstly get their education complete and get some work experience or at least see what they are interested in and then later they can get married.

Majority from such pairs that got married early, long does not live together. They in course of time place priorities and begin to understand that early got married. I know a few pairs that early got married personally, and then designed a divorce.
Muslim marriages are a relic of the past and savagery in the modern world. So it should not be.
I don't agree with this, it's not kids fault. They deserve to have a plenty childhood.

We are still blessed. We don't belong to this kind of society. I view it as a sudden death to the part of the women. No hope, no way out and no life. What kind of life would there be in living with a stanger.

I think it is really ridiculous, imagine if you're a responsible father, you wouldn't let your precious daughter to get married at young age and additional to that a total stranger. I can't imagine how other people was able to do it. Normally a father would even protect his daughter and wouldn't just let anyone marry her.
It can't happen if only the old ones realize its not a human thing to marry a child. Money can buy much now, and it so sad even the life of a child can be destroyed because of this.
This is one of the most disgusting and in humane things to do on a child.
Just like rape, you are taking the child's innocence.
A child needs to experience childhood and not marriage.
This is so sad that some of the country still practices this.
It's like taking away a child's life.
