At about 4:10 pmMalaysia Standard Time (UTC+08:00) on 4 April 2017,Teo Nie Ching, a member of parliament forKulai had proposed for a new amendment (15A) for the Sexual Offences Against Children Bill 2017, stating thatchild marriage should be banned. She stated that Malaysia had signed a United Nations resolution during October 2013. Malaysia also had signed theConvention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the 16th article of the treaty writes the freedom to choose a spouse and to enter into marriage only with free and full consent. She emphasised that Malaysian's children cannot have the capacity to have free and full consent because they still cannot smoke cigarette, drive a car and vote until they reached the age of 21.
She later cited that at 30 November 2015, the deputy of theMinistry of Women, Family and Community Development made a statement that the government does not support marriage under 18, thePrime Minister's Department expressed the serious issues of child marriage on 12 April 2016 and theSpouse of the Prime Minister of Malaysia,Rosmah Mansor stated that the Malaysian have the power to increase the minimum age of marriage from 16 to 18.
She also gave out some cases of adults marrying underage children in Malaysia and claimed that the bride divorced soon after and some of their husband is actually a rapist. The chances of them dying is five times higher than a normal adult woman and they cannot continue their studies after marrying. She stated that the otherIslamic country likeAlgeria,Egypt andMorocco's minimum marriage age is 18 years old and asked why Malaysia cannot be the same as theirs.[3]
On 19 June 2022, he had announced that he will retire from politics to give way for young people.[4]
