PAS lawmaker wants caning for out-of-wedlock pregnancies

A PAS lawmaker suggested that caning be introduced as a punishment to prevent out-of-wedlock pregnancies in the country.

Datuk Dr Nik Mazian Nik Mohamad (PAS-Pasir Puteh) said he did not see caning included for zina (illicit sex), adding this should be implemented to protect “innocent” babies born from unlawful unions.
