Malaysian youth marrying too young, says UN report 


In the name Allah most gracious, most merciful.

 In response to the above mentioned article published in TMI, 
  • Which one is worse, having 80,000 young married couple or having 80,000 young pregnant women out of wedlock, whose babies end up in the ditch / dustbin / toilet bowl?
  • The status of adolescent nowadays: Which one is more worrying - their social problems (sexual problems, LGBT, drugs, alcohol etc) OR their success in schools/career? 
  • In the above mentioned article, the "success" of youngster is seen as "the ability of young people to stay in school, pursue a higher education and be equipped to be part of a productive labour force within a high-income nation." It is useless to have a bunch of super-intelligent-and-educated "labour" if they are low in social moral and attitude.
  • Being educated & productive labour is not a true indicator of a successful person. More importantly is how much the person holds to islamic value.
  • Report is a report, but analyse is wisely through the perspective of islam. The value that is imposed by the UN / international bodies doesn't necessarily comply with the value that Allah wants us to comply with.
This research recently published, is an interesting one to be explored in relation to this topic.
