hi there.:)

oh. this issue of child marriage has flared in Malaysia after reports that two girls aged 10 and 11 were wed in the conservative northern state of Kelantan.

And a minister who is in charge of the religious affair submitted that there's no need to amend the law which to me is ridiculous.

How can it be right for young girls to be married-off to older men? To me it's not 'islamic' to allow girls to marry in such a young age.

tsk.
