PARLIAMENT A PAS lawmaker has argued that banning child marriages may lead to rampant casual sex involving underage girls.
Nik Mazian Nik Mohamad (PAS-Pasir Puteh) said it will become a major issue because these girls posses lust for sex.
He said this after interjecting Teo Nie Ching (DAP-Kulai) who debated the Child (Amendment) Bill 2015 in the Dewan Rakyat.
"Can I get (your) explanation. The case of a 14-year-old (girl)... Was it mutual consent or (was she) forced by the man?
"If it was mutual consent, that means the child has sexual lust and the major issue now is that children under 16 want to have sex or already have casual sex.
"If we restrict them from getting married, (their) lust will remain, and they will be exposed to premarital casual sex, what is your view Kulai (MP)?" he asked.
A vexed Teo then retorted, "Do you know what statutory rape is? Having sex with a child below 16 is statutory rape."
"How can we allow our children to marry a rapist?" she asked.
Earlier, Teo insisted that the government should ban marriages involving underage individuals.
She raised a case in Sabah where a 14-year-old girl married a 40-year-old man who raped her after the latter paid the girl's family.
"There was proof that the rapist sent money to the girl's father and asked the father to allow him to marry the girl. Was this a deal or justice ?" she asked.
