The issue. A young couple married.
The girl. Is just 14 years old.
The guy. 23 years old.
Almost 10 years apart.
Not much of an issue. In my opinion.
But when certain minister gives a comment.
It does make me wanted to say, "What's wrong?"
What's wrong with a young girl married to a nice guy, who works?
Obviously, he works, as a teacher. Otherwise, how can he support her wife?

Well, true, a girl at that age doesn't know the responsibilities.
A responsibility of being a wife. Or as parent, if they have kids later on.
True. But that doesn't mean that she can't learn.
Acquire skills on how to take care of her husband and family.
In fact, even for some adults, who got married.
Doesn't know how to handle households and takes responsibility.
So, it's never about the age.
It's all about the ability to learn on how to take responsibilities.
Plus, isn't that good. Getting married at early age.
At least, it could minimize the risk of pre-marital sex. Which happens a lot.
Where in the end, it produces many out-of-wedlock babies.
I don't have to show the statistics here, but there are too many.
Well, if I ask you, which one is the real issue?
"Early Marriage" or "Pre-Marital sex?"
The later would be the real problem here.
Isn't that much bigger of a problem. Bigger issue
So, in my opinion, its better to find the solutions.
Rather than mingling with the insignificant issue.

I'm not supporting the concept of young couple gets married.
There are also the drawbacks. There are also negative disadvantages.
In fact, the number shows that, in Sarawak only;
50% of young couple ends up in divorce.
And this happens, in the major city of Kuching, Miri, Sibu and Bintulu.
If they happen to have kids, this will bring bigger impacts.
The rupture of a family institution.
Which will lead, eventually, to a bigger problem. In the future.
Foot Note:
1. The statistic also shows bigger number on divorce rates in the other states.
2. There is this girl, who became a grandmother when she was 18. No problem.
syaftome ~ why not just get married, if its the right time
7 de' tour comments:
there's nothing wrong if you decide to get marry no matter how young you are.
knowing the responsibility you're going to hold and the family you're going to have, instead of dreaming to live with love without realizing what it takes to really live, more likely the marriage will survive.
honestly, most of couple gets married today because:
a) dating everyday
b) fucking everyday
an as soon as they realize:
a)sex isn't everything
b)love isn't everything
eventually, it ends with breaking up.

Why not, people in those days marry way younger. You're right. It's not about age, it's about maturity. But then again, maturity does come with age, and age does play a role. So back to square 1. 14 is already past puberty age, still adolescent, but i think where the girl lacks, the man will make up for it. I hope he sees her as a partner, not as a student that he needs to teach constantly. Good luck to both of them.
pali: that what happens...when people don't know the true meaning of marriage...
ninie: yalah ya...cmnei nak polah...
