Child Marriage is one of the biggest human violations in the world. In most of the countries the minimum legal age for the child marriage is 18 years. Getting married before reaching at this minimum legal age is not only illegal but also against the human rights. Mostly, girls become the major victims of child marriage as people don't wish to educate them or give them a better future. Boys become victims too but not as much as girls in most countries.“Why are we procrastinating in protecting a child's future?
“This issue should be a concern for our government and society.”
Therefore, H.O.P.E Foundation, a group of students from SMK Seri Saujana came up with a mission and agenda to bring a solution to this problem. Our main concern is to raise awareness among the students and society to bring up their rights in this issue.
Our petition then will be sent to Malaysia Parliament via Woman Aid Organization of Malaysia for further processes and to be discussed in the Parliament later.
We hope that all of you guys can bring up a change by signing this petition.

A child should be nurtured to reach their full potential. They should be given the time to grow into a person who knows what they want for themselves healthy growth needs time. Leave Children out of the demands of being married.
End child marriages. You don’t allow a child to drive a car or vote, but cigarettes or alcohol so what makes you think she is ready to get married and start a family?
#PELAJARBUKANPENGANTIN. Child Marriages have already affected more than 10,000 children over the past 10 years. Time to STOP it.
young teenage girls, under the age of 18, are too young to tie themselves to marriage and need to complete their education before they consent to a marriage., instead of being condemned to a life of drudgery in the home of a husband they didn't choose.
Child married is illegal in every corner of the world. They are immature mentality, emotionally & physically. Now is the best time for them to be in school.
The time for the state to ban child marriage is long overdue
Hey. That’s not okay. That’s disgusting. This petition better go through well. I hope things will change for the better, slowly and surely.

I strongly oppose child marriages. I find it inhumane, unjust & a terrible violation of children's dignity & rights. It's time for our govt to implement policies & enact laws to stop the abuse of minors. Our children of today are our nation's future resouces.
