JAKARTA, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Indonesian authorities are investigating an Islamic wedding planning service for promoting the marriage of girls as young as 12 years old, despite laws that forbid child marriage.
The Indonesian child protection commission said it had reported the website, Aishaweddings.com, to police for allegedly breaching at least two laws, while the women's empowerment and child protection ministry said it was preparing to do the same.
The website "violated and ignored the government in protecting and preventing children from becoming victims of violence and exploitation", Minister Bintang Puspayoga said in a statement on Wednesday.
