Child Marriage: Government Raises Minimum Age To 19 by willywasco(m): 7:46pm On Sep 17, 2019 |
In its bid to curb child marriage in the country, Indonesia’s parliament has raised the minimum age at which women can marry to 19. All factions in Indonesia’s parliament in a unanimous agreement adopted a revision to the country’s existing marriage law. according to a statement on Indonesia’s House of Representatives’ website, under the current laws, girls are allowed to marry at 16 and boys to marry at 19, while parents can also ask religious courts or local officials to authorize marriages of younger girls with no minimum age in such cases. Indonesia has the eighth highest number of child brides in the world, according to Girls Not Brides, a global partnership committed to ending child marriage. https://dailytimes.ng/child-marriage-government-raises-minimum-age-to-19/ |

Indonesia has the largest population of Muslims in the with majority being Sunnis, similar to what we have in Northern Nigeria. Tell me any excuse anyone would have to marry or give out any underage child in the name of any archaic culture whether from the North or the South. |

Sonsly041: How will they learn or how do you force them? Indonesia is a homogeneous country unlike the Nigger Area where one group are lording over the Owambe/ Davido-Chioma jokers |
