Subra: 50 teenagers get pregnant daily

Raja Zarith Sofiah said stress made teenage girls, who were pregnant out of wedlock, do something beyond sanity that sometimes end in death, unsafe abortion and baby dumping.

She said out of wedlock pregnancies caused social rejection from families and the community to the extent that the girls did not get the necessary support and assistance.
