PETALING JAYA: A coalition of women's groups has slammed Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail for insisting that further investigation is needed in order to charge a 41-year-old Kelantanese man who married an 11-year-old Thai girl.

The Joint Action Group for Gender Equality (JAG) said the Deputy Prime Minister and Women, Family and Community Development Minister's failure to take swift action against the man showed a lack of political will.
