Quite a disbelieve

Gotten really surprised when I read this news from The Star Online. Two 13 year-olds got married in a mass wedding ceremony in Hulu Terengganu. Don't you think they're still a bit too young for such commitments and responsibilities? I do!!!

Is it actually legal even with the approval of both parents?

  • Are the parents so backward?! It's so irresponsible to let the children get married at such age when they should be studying!

  • I agree. And I'm sure they don't have the means of taking care of themselves yet...

  • Actually yeah, I reckon it's legal for them to be married... And as the article says, it is a custom in their community. I know it doesn't mean that they have to get married upon reaching puberty, but I suppose it's nothing unusual to them...

    And besides the tok batin's reasoning might have been it'd prevent any 'accidents' of any sort... shrugs... Who are we to judge anyway?

  • Wonder how would they support a family at this age. Well who knows if they were caught doing "something" then advised to marry

  • at their age, they're probably being supported rather than to support...

    and maybe it's their way of preventing 'accidents'

  • Micchy my dear... the only B word I could relate right now is "B-U-S-Y". So I didn't have time to write much. Unlike you, can write at least one post every day.

    But dun worry, I've got some things to post very soon... stay tuned
