marriage course for malaysians
I see the non-existence of compulsory marriage course for non-privileged malaysians as a form of discrimination. Why should it be provided for certain segment of the society only? Isn’t a happy family vital for practically everything that our leaders want our country to achieve? From economic progress to national unity, a strong and stable family is critical, yet we can’t even seem to have a fair provision in providing marriage courses.
Now, PPP’s Deputy Minister Murugiah says that a memorandum will be submitted (by whom under what capacity?) to provide compulsory marriage course for non-malays. Can this be also included in the Cabinet Committee for Indian Community?
A MEMORANDUM will be submitted to the Government urging it to make it compulsory for non-Muslims to attend marriage courses before their wedding, said Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Senator T. Murugiah.
He was reported in the Malaysia Nanban as saying that the number of divorces among the Indian community had risen tremendously.
The Government could give approval to a marriage after the bride and groom present their certificate of attendance at the marriage course, he said.
