Child marriages. Is it ok?

Say, a 50 year-old man marrying a 12-year old girl? What do you think?

My social calling has long prompted me to blog on this but I reckon it's better to shut my mouth. Why? It's because it mostly touches on religious issues.

Some religious officials believe child marriage is a solution to avoid some 'social problems'. Yes, you can start rolling your eyes and smack yourself in the forehead.

Hence, I would like to direct you to an excellent writing by Marina Mahathir. She recently wrote an article in The Star titled Marriage is not about legalising sex. I strongly encourage you to read it to learn something (especially towards the end of the article).
