‘It’s a sin to send her to school’


BUTTERWORTH: Malaysian law stopped an 11-year-old Rohingya girl from being married off here, but now that she has “come of age” by her community’s standards, she is no longer allowed to continue schooling.

Her father Mohamed Somir Abdul Razak said his daughter would no longer attend school while her wedding will take place after she is older.
