KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 22 — Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin slammed today a tweet that said menstruation indicated a girl’s maturity and readiness for marriage.
“A girl who has her period is considered mature and ready for marriage..Age is not the real issue..Its simple and its plain,” Twitter user@suhailalia1 said in Malay.
Khairy retweeted the tweet and said: “Gross mentality”.
The Twitter user was responding to the former Umno Youth leader’s criticism of Sabah Mufti Datuk Bungsu @ Aziz Jaafar’s proposal to reduce the legal age of marriage to 14 and 16 for Muslim girls and boys respectively.
“Madness. Jangan pula ada yang cakap ‘don’t question Mufti’ ‘pergi belajar agama’ etc. This is madness. Plain and simple,” Khairy said.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail insisted yesterday that the government will raise the minimum age of marriage to 18, after another child marriage case in Kelantan was reported, this time involving a 15-year-old wedded to a 44-year-old man.

I deem KJ's tweet of 'Gross mentality' in response to the moronic tweet about basing marriageability on menstruation as the BEST political statement thus far in 2018.
Malaysia is a nation of human beings, not base monsters.

Some women have finished with menstruation and passed menopause but are still not mature in thinking.
ReplyDeleteone is not allowed to drive, buy cigarette n liquor, or even some movies when he/she below 18, but marriage is ok. interesting.
ReplyDeleteI know of a Malay lady who's working in the dispatch division of a company...she's only 35 but has just recently became a grandma ! She revealed that she married at age 16 and had 5 children to date, her eldest boy is already 19 years old and got himself a wife who is only 17 and had just given birth. That's how the dispatch lady became a grandma at the ripe age of 35. And, get this, she hinted that she's not done yet with having more children herself...she even giggled that who knows, she and her daughter-in-law might one day be both pregnant at the same time.
ReplyDeleteMaybe these people do heed Dr M's call (during his first reign ) for a 70 million population....no sweat la...the government will provide from cradle to grave, win-win.
