WE refer to the article by Sandhya Menon headlined “Yeoh: Keeping them in school till 17 can put a lid on child marriages” (Nation, The Star, Dec 8; online at tinyurl.com/star-marriage).
We object to the repeated egregious attempts of media outlets to imply that underage marriage is somehow a problem pertaining solely to Muslims and Islam by the use of a photo of a Muslim girl about to pray while playing with toys (published with the online version of the article). This is not the first time this has happened.
