Child-Marriage And Indonesia’s “Scholars!”
We have often had to comment on the words and actions of the MUI….
Death To Corruptors, MUI? Why Not Terrorists?
…Indonesia’s Council of ‘Scholars’ – a state-subsidised body.
They are not backward about coming forward with opinions on just about anything…
“A Wise And Noble Step?” Islamic ‘Scholars’ On Terrorist Unleashed In Indonesia!

Syamsul Maarif, General Secretary of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Jakarta
“If the act of adultery is by a married person, then stoning is the sentence, while if unmarried, then it’s whipping,” he said.

Bali Hindu King – Don’t Kill Our Cows! Muslim ‘Scholars’ – Get Lost!!
Adam Created By Angel?” Islamist ‘Scholars’Call the Cops!
Cops – “Islamist ‘Scholars’ Can Veto Religious Liberty”
Islamist ‘Scholars’ – “Don’t Complain if You’re Attacked!”
…and it’s fair to say that I have rarely agreed with their pronouncements.
This month, however, they are in the news again, after a 15-year-old child, a student from the State Junior High School (SMPN) 01 Namrole, South Buru, Maluku…

….was married off by her father, who is the Chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) in South Buru.
The Head of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) was also present at the event.
Needless to say, this has caused much comment.
Most Indonesians, of all creeds, are civilised people…

…to whom the idea of child marriage is repugnant.
I waited patiently for several days to see exactly what would happen in regard to this ‘marriage,’ which had not, it seems, been officially registered..
Update! Good News!
Good kids – students from one of the junior high schools in Buru Selatan, Maluku and teachers demonstrating against the early marriage that happened to a student at the school.
:…
So has this father undergone some kind of spiritual revelation?
Ambo admitted that he canceled his daughter’s marriage due to mediation by the South Buru Regency Government and the local education office.. https://amp.kompas.com/regional/read/2021/10/13/173042478/batalkan-pernikahan-putrinya-yang-masih-smp-ketua-mui-buru-selatan-semoga

The father needs to show he understands that child marriage is always wrong. MUI central can help by making it known no child may be marrying.

He doesn’t seem to have condemned the evil of child marriage.
Will his MUI senior officials?
Are you holding your breath?
