KUALA LUMPUR: Only Selangor and Kedah have raised the minimum marriage age for Muslims to 18, the Dewan Rakyat heard.
Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said the ministry wanted to introduce the change in stages, in collaboration with state governments.
"For other states, including Melaka, any amendment is subject to the consideration and legislative process of the respective states.
"Islamic law matters also fall under state jurisdiction," she said in reply to a supplementary question from Datuk Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff (PN-Rantau Panjang).
