Recently, I learnt that one of my relative (my grandmother’s sister’s granddaughter), who is in Malaysia, is pregnant. That was supposed to be a happy thing, but there is a problem: She is only 14 years old this year and that means what she did is against the law.

I heard that she went out with a guy for some time. There were once when she went out with a guy throughout the night and only came back home in the morning. When questioned, she claimed that the guy was teaching her on school stuffs. But after some time, the truth was exposed and the guy’s family was informed.
In the end, they agreed on that the guy will marry the girl and the girl will not abort the baby. Surprisingly, the marriage, which should be kept as a silent one, is going to be held pretty formally and grand. My relatives in Singapore were invited and they has initially refused to attend in order to save their shame. The marriage cannot be legal since the girl is still underage. My relatives in Singapore believes that the guy only agreed to marry her as he do not want the girl’s family to report this matter to the police and resulting in him going to jail. They also believe that the guy will dump her later.

What was astounding was that this type on incident happened before to that girl’s two aunties (and if I am not wrong, her mom too).
