Malaysia's 14-year-old bride defends marriage

[Steve Dii]

A 14-year-old Malaysian Muslim schoolgirl has defended her controversial marriage to a 23-year-old teacher after an uproar from rights groups, a report said Sunday.

Teenager Siti Maryam Mahmod wed Abdul Manan Othman last weekend in a mass wedding at a mosque in the capital Kuala Lumpur, after being given permission in an Islamic Sharia court.

The marriage has prompted fresh debate on child marriage, with rights groups calling for the laws that allow underage marriage to be repealed, with some arguing child marriage amounts to paedophilia.

Speaking for the first time since the controversy erupted, Siti Maryam told weekly newspaper mStar that she was entitled to wed and had not been coerced.

"Marriage is the right of the individual and I am well-prepared to take up the duties of a wife," said Siti Maryam, who met her husband early this year when he was giving religious tuition to her two younger siblings.

"I have thought about the responsibilities and the consequences of marrying at a young age. At the same time, I have my mother to guide me on my marriage and my wifely duties," she added.

Siti Maryam said she and her husband have agreed to focus on completing her studies before beginning a family.

Malaysian Muslims below the age of 16 are allowed to marry as long as they obtain the permission of the religious courts. Sharia law runs in parallel with civil law in the multi-ethnic country.

Activists have said underage marriage is unacceptable, calling for law reforms to curb the practice which they said is widespread with some 16,000 Malaysian girls aged below 15 already married.

Miaka siyo determinant of marriage?

Ikiwa ana miaka 14 na amebalehi (anapata siku zake i.e. hedhi) anastahili kuolewa kwakuwa inaonyesha kwamba anaweza mambo makubwa ikiwemo kubeba mimba period!

Kuhusu kusoma hayo yatakuwa makubaliano yake na mume wake, wazazi wake period!

Hivi Madrasa wanahitimu wakiwa na umri gani? au chuo cha madrasa ni miaka mingapi kumaliza? hio si ndio elimu muhimu kwao?

 

[babayah67]

Mhhh kazi kweli kweli. Huyu kaoelewa hadharani na kila mtu anamjua mumewe na kuwa wamekubaliana namna gani wataendelea na masomo wakiwa katika maisha ya mume na mke. Sisi akina nani kuanza kupinga ndoa hii???. Huyu kaolewa tunapinga, je twataka atiwe mimba mtaani na atelekezwe ndio tutafurahi??? Haya wengine wanaanza kutania kuwa anafuata mfano wa.......... sawa ni haki yake aufuate mfano huo maana unalinda heshima ya dada na mama zetu kuliko kupachikwa mimba na kutelekezwa kunawadhalilisha dada na mama zetu. Wakati umefika hata hapa TZ tupitishe sheria kuruhusu vijana wanaosoma sekondari iwe ruhusa kuolewa huku wanasoma kwa watakao taka. Hapa hatutakuwa na hofu ya kuwaambia vijana wetu watumie kondomu!!!!!!!!!!

Umri siyo kigezo cha mwanamke/msichana kuhimili ndoa...kigezo ni "KUPATA HEDHI"

Elimu ya madrasa haina umri wowote kuanzia age 3 up to infinity as far as I know

next?

Unaunga mkono uroho wa hilo libaba lisilokua na haya kuparamia vitoto vya Chekechea? Haya ndio maadili? Jitu zee zima la miaka 50+ linaoa katoto under 7 years? Je huu ndio mfano wa kuigwa unaotaka ufuatwe na watanzania? Je ungependa binti zako wafanyiwe hivi?

mara zote makafiri kama huyu atakapoambiwa umenikanyaga yeye atasema sijakukanyaga na hali kakukanyaga kweli. ukweli utadhihiri soon, nyie tukaneni ila siku zenu zinahesabika. muislam siku zote dunia kwake ni kitu cha kupita tu, na imani hii ndiyo inayomfanya asiogope kufa kama makafiri, kilicho nyuma ya panzia ni akili ya muumini tu kuweza kujua namaanisha nini. laana tu llah lmukadhibina
