Women's groups rally at Sunway Pyramid to end child marriage


PETALING JAYA: Armed with placards and chanting "end child marriage", hundreds of Malaysians marched to the beat of drums at a rally at the Sunway Pyramid mall here amid a heavy downpour.

The "Walk the Talk to End Child Marriage" event – jointly organised by The Body Shop Malaysia, Women's Aid Organisation (WAO), Sisters in Islam (SIS), and the Association of Women Lawyers (AWL) – marked the launch of the groups' petition campaign to urge the Government to raise the minimum age of marriage to 18 with no exceptions.
