According to him, girls aged between nine to 12 years old are "physically and spiritually" ready for marriage.
They reach puberty at the age of nine or 12 and at that time, the physical state of their body is already akin to those 18 years of age.
"For a wife who was raped, if she can marry (the rapist) she would not go through such a bleak future.
"At least she has someone who can become her husband. So, this will be a remedy to social problems," he said while debating the Child Sexual Offences Bill here today.
He said this when objecting an amendment to the bill which was proposed by DAP's Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching who wanted the bill to be amended to also spell out the invalidity of child marriages.

Maybe he can show us all how it's done by getting raped and marrying his rapist.

(26,124 posts)What I think should happen to him would get this post hidden, because I'd be expressing it pretty vividly.
But I'll play the innocent and ask: What if a girl is gang-raped? Which one of the many should she marry? What if her rapist is already married? Is he required to divorce his wife to marry the girl? What if the rapist is Catholic and doesn't believe in divorce?
So many questions.

(26,124 posts)Don't know why I didn't think of that. All that's needed is to legalize polyandry and polygamy, and things will be just fine!
