: The Kedah State Assembly today passed the Islamic Family Law Enactment Bill 2022 relating to the age limit for marriage and polygamy laws.

“If you still want to get married due to any problem, you can apply through the court. If the court finds that the candidate should be allowed even if she is 16 years old, she can with the court’s permission. If it’s without the court’s permission there will be a fine,“ he told reporters after the state assembly sitting at Wisma Darul Aman here today.

He said the notice on the motion was given only yesterday, and this did not conform to the 14-day rule for normal private motions, while urgent and important motions required a seven-day notice or at least one day prior with the permission of the Kedah Menteri Besar. “It is clear that the motion is to be brought to the assembly at least within 14 working days or brought by the Menteri Besar seven days or at least a day...they did not contact me... if they are sincere, please WhatsApp me or write a letter,“ he said.
