Re: Why Malays find their Muslim identity to be more salient than their "Malay" ance
As you showed earlier, child marriages were common in many cultures. They certainly were, even AMDKs too.
AMDKs and chinks largely resolved this problem as their societies progressed. Women started to go to school, find work and did more than just raised kids. In AMDK and chink societies, child marriages today would be treated as paedophilia both by society and the law.
In societies like conservative hindu and muslim, women still play very little role in public life. Even if they work, their social life is restricted to follower roles in the office. After work, they go back home and do not linger in the streets. They do not meet up with any guys they like. In those societies, women who do so are treated as whores and are likely to be sexually assaulted. Those are the same societies where child marriages are prevalent.
For hindu india, religion and societal norms do not revolve around a single person as much as a muslim society. Hence, societal norms can evolve, some traditions can totally change. For example, there are Dalits in India who have done very well.
In islamic societies, the more progressive ones tackled paedophilia somewhat, such as Malaysia. They do so by tiptoeing around the entire issue, declare muhammad's actions off-limits for discussion or precedent. But of course, not all islamic societies agree with such a course of action.
