9yo girls ‘physically and spiritually’ ready to marry – Malaysian MP

Girls as young as nine are “physically and spiritually” ready for marriage, a Malaysian MP says, also claiming there’s “nothing wrong” with females marrying their rapists. 

It comes after Malaysia failed to criminalize child marriage in a recent law. 

He went on to say there is “nothing wrong” with a rape victim marrying the man who raped her, as doing so would allow her to avoid a “bleak future.”
