<p>Whereas the delineation between Bumiputeras and other groups in Malaysia has been the cause of much conflict and unrest of late, it does not appear to have had the same consequences in Bruneian society. This may be because affirmative action strategies are not so prevalent or obvious in Bruneian society.</p>
<p>A lack of opposition to the Bumiputera concept in Brunei may also be because as an autocratic sultanate, the country does not experience a great deal of political diversity. This is in contrast to the situation in Malaysia, where protests against Bumiputera privileges in Malaysia are often backed by opposition parties in order to raise dissatisfaction with the government.</p>

<blockquote><p>Muslims in Kelantan who want to marry underaged persons can ask for permission or exception from the 'kadi' giving reasonable gounds, said Kelantan Syariah Court Chief Judge Datuk Daud Mohamad.</p>
<p>He said without permission, they could be fined up to RM1,000 or imprisoned for six months or both by the Syariah Court according to the Kelantan Islamic Family Enactment 2002.</p>
<p>He said the regulation stipulated the age condition to prevent divorce of incompatible persons.</p>
<p><strong>Daud was asked to comment on the controversy of a 11-year-old girl who married a 40-year-old man in Kampung Jelawang, Kuala Krai, recently.</strong></p>

<p>It's no wonder that non-muslims have been fleeing Malaysia. It is on course for full-blown sharia within a generation.</p>

<p>Well well! Another observation</p>
<div><b><span>Minimum age for marriage</span></b></div>
<div><b><span>34.</span></b><span> The Marriage Act (cap. 76) provides for the solemnization and registration of church and civil marriages. Under this law, minor is defined as a person not being a widow or a widower who is under the age of 18 years. The age for marriage is 14 years old. Where there is a solemnization of marriage and one of the parties to the marriage is a minor, consent of the father or the guardian or the mother of the minor is necessary.</span></div>
<div><span>The act provides that it is an offence to solemnize the marriage of a minor where the requisite consent is absent. This is an offence punishable by a term of three years’ imprisonment and a fine. This act does not apply to Muslim marriages, as such marriages are governed by the Shariah laws. Despite these provisions, according to the Registry of Marriages the number of marriages among minors are small and are usually between people in the rural areas or among the indigenous groups.</span></div>
<div><span><br/></span></div>
<div><b><span>35.</span></b><span> The Religious Council and Kadi’s Court Act (cap. 77) does not limit the minimal age for a Muslim to get married and as outlined by Shariah law such marriage may be registered under the provisions of section 137 (3) of the act.</span></div>

<p><a href="http://4freedoms.ning.com/group/theology/forum/topics/hizb-ut-tahir-s-constitution-a-dictatorship-where-non-muslims-hav"></a>In the light of the similarities between Brunei and the islamo-fascist Caliphate, it comes as no surprise to read that the Sultan of Brunei funds Al Qaeda and knew in advance of the 7/7 bombings. <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/02/report-unnamed-asian-head-of-state-knew-about-77-atta">http://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/02/report-unnamed-asian-head-of-state-knew-about-77-atta</a></p>
