PETALING JAYA: Minis­ter in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Liew Vui Keong (pic) is adamant to put a limit on the legal marriage age for Muslim girls in line with a mufti’s view.

Liew said there was a gap in the law concerning below 16 underage marriage as it did not specify “how young is too young”.
