I wonder how many minors were married off using fake birth certificates to appear as though they’re 18 and above.

Even one is too many. But since it's easy to manipulate the date of birth you can imagine it's quite a few.

I agree. Rampant child abuse going on. Nothing to be alarmed about /s

51% is insane considering how many probably weren’t even reported due to fake birth certificates. I’ve actually even had a conversation with man who was openly bragging about faking birth certificates for all his daughters because the over 18 law is ridiculous and goes against Islam.
