    Myanmar’s Parliament Approves Controversial Interfaith Mar:

    ''This law was written for Myanmar Buddhist women who marry men from other religions so they have equal rights in marriage, divorce, inheritance and taking care of children, as well as have effective protection.”

    “This kind of law shouldn’t be issued by parliament because it is not an essential law for all ethnic [groups] in Myanmar; it is just a law that discriminates against ethnic people when it comes to religion."

    What is your opinion on this law?

    This link provides a little background on the law - https://www.hrw.org/news/2015/07/09/burma-reject-discriminatory-marriage-bill - which seeks to disadvantage and discourage interfaith marriages in the guise of supporting Buddhist women. I believe that this law shouldn't be issued by Parliament or signed by the President.


    What is your opinion on this law?

    In general, as well, what are your thoughts on the fact that some religions prohibit or discourage interfaith marriage? What are your thoughts on and beliefs to the concept of interfaith marriage?
