PETALING JAYA: Two more cases of men marrying 15-year-old girls in Kelantan underscores the reality that girls have to pay for the government's lack of political will to end child marriage, Sisters in Islam said.

"Sisters in Islam (SIS) is concerned that the normalisation of child marriage dangerously affects the future for girls in our country," SIS communications manager Majidah Hashim said in a statement on Tuesday (Sept 18).
