Comments: Regent grilled on teen marriage scandal

J

em>Jan. 20, p. 5

The West Java Police say they questioned Garut Regent Aceng Fikri for six hours on Tuesday regarding his scandalous marriage to — and speedy divorce from — a 17-year-old girl.

Your comments:

If the investigation is not politically motivated, police must proactively research teen marriage in kampungs. The police will find many marriage involving 14-year-old girls.

Last time I checked national laws supersede Islamic law — as it should be. In that regard he is a criminal. Prosecute him based on laws.
