PETALING JAYA: A video of Tasek Gelugor MP Datuk Shabudin Yahaya's (pic) controversial statement about child marriages in Parliament has gone viral, which appears to raise questions on his claim that his remarks were taken out of context.

After coming under fire for his suggestion that it is okay for rapists to marry their child victims, Shabudin released a three-page statement lashing out at several media outlets for failing to point out the fact that underage children can get married after they reached puberty.
