While the 41-year-old was found guilty of polygamy and marrying without permission, he was not charged with underage marriage, as Malaysian lawyer Syahredzan Johan pointed out on Twitter.

This is why legislation is needed, he wrote, At the federal level it should be a penal offence to marry a child.

Muslim girls below the age of 16 can legally marry in Malaysia with permission from a religious court.


He claimed his third marriage was legal and that he had the blessing of the girls parents.


Referencing the case, the Sisters in Islam organisation called on Malaysians not to use Islam to justify child marriage.

Path dependence

Couple thousand years ago when life expectancy was less than half of what it is now kids were married off to men to guard them before consummating when the girls hit puberty

There's no need for it now, but because it was once done, some people still take it literally. Like Christians against gay marriage. Path dependence

So is it pretty much a fact at this point that Thailand/Southeast Asia is where maximum betas go to find wives when they can't get a girl any other way?
