Head Of BKKBN Calls Science In Islam Teaching Not Young Marriage
JAKARTA - The head of the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) Hasto Wardoyo said in Islamic knowledge, there are already teachings for Muslims not to marry at a young age. "Allah SWT has prepared humans that the pelvic of a woman is 10 cm if she is 20 years old, but if she is 16 or 17, moreover, if she is married and becomes pregnant, it will be dangerous. Pregnant and giving birth too young the risk is also a lot of bleeding, tearing her birth path, maternal and infant mortality is still quite high," said Hasto in his statement, Monday, January 15, was confiscated by Antara. Hasto said, it had become Sunnatullah (God SWT's stipulation) that the quality of a female egg was prepared since three months before the occurrence of conception, as well as sperm that formed at 73 to 75 days before conception occurred. According to him, marriage partners preferentially increased education related to preconception (virtuals before pregnancy) rather than pre-wedding photos. Socialization related to such matters also needs to be improved. "When pregnant, it turns out that the mother's bones that should still be longer do not increase because they are taken by their babies, then the mother's bones that should be getting denser becomes less congested because they are taken by their babies from the womb," he said. "In addition, young women who are already sexually intercourse can have greater potential to be exposed to uterine cancer. "Later needs to be socialized in youth posyandu, that the mouth of the uterus in young women aged 15-17 years, which has the potential for cancer, is outside. Meanwhile, the mouth of an adult potential for cancer has already entered into divorce, so that when performing sexual intercourse is not touched. So, if you have sex at a young age, it could become cancer," he said. Hasto emphasized the importance of running a teenage posyandu program in order to provide socialization to prevent adultery by fasting, not young marriage. "This is so that the dangers of young age marriage that I have explained does not occur and prevents increasingly rapid divorce, because today, divorce has occurred as many as 500 thousand cases per year," he said.
