Getting married

My mother is very emotional. Everytime she reads the newspaper or online news, she will express her feelings like "Oh my God!" or "kenapa lah buat kat orang macam ni?" or "Dah gila ke orang ni?" But her expressions will always make me more curious about what she was reading. I would then try to read what she was reading so I would understand why she felt that way.

But today, after reading one story on the internet, she turned to me and said don't get married too early ok. You are still my baby. Then she hugged me.

I tried looking at the news she was reading. She told me one girl who is only 11 years old was asked to marry a 40 year old man. She told me the girl was forced to marry that old man. I asked her how can the girl get married when she was only in standard 5? My mother said when she was only 11 she was still playing with her friends. She cannot imagine herself married at that age. I cannot imagine it too. My brother will turn 11 in July. So I imagine if my brother was 11, he would still be too young to get married. At 11 he still expects my mother to bathe him or prepare his clothes for school or even his homework. So how can the girl get married at 11? So will she continue to go to school after she gets married? Don't she want to play anymore?

I plan to get married when I am 24. When I get married, I will marry a woman who has 10 million ringgit and we will have only 4 children. I will give my children 1 million ringgit each and the other 6 million ringgit will be for me to buy a car and a house.

My mother said she hope the girl will be ok.
