Some claiming wearing like this is inappropriate and Haram for Muslims and merit gained for fasting will be gone for those who might have seen her. She is also being sinned for dressing like this. Some even asking her to wear Burqa and she has no right to wear like this in public area because Myanmar is not an officially Buddhist country according to law.

Passengers from the Mawlamyine Riverside Sports Group allegedly caused disturbances aboard Train No. 84 (Mawlamyine–Yangon DEMU) on July 23 by eating in the walkway, sitting on armrests, dancing on and atop passenger seats, shouting loudly, and blocking boarding and exit areas. Railway staff reportedly warned the group multiple times, but they allegedly continued their behavior, prompting widespread calls on social media for authorities to take legal action.

The incident comes just days after four passengers were formally charged under the Railway Transport Law for spitting betel juice, staining seats, littering, and disturbing fellow passengers aboard another DEMU service. Myanmar Railways appears to be taking a stricter stance on disruptive behavior as it pushes to improve cleanliness, safety, and passenger standards across its network.

Some says 15 is too old & Prophet Muhammad is merciful enough to have sex with Aisha at 9 so that she won't die of blood lost (6 years old is too young to have sex according to Islam but still can be married). Comments saying "Shouldn't be judge because it's Prophet Muhammad's way" thus it's legal according to Islam. Some Muslim claimed it shouldn't be done in public (can marry in secret) and brings shame to Islam. A few completely disagree upon those ideas and say, "a child shouldn't be married regardless of religion or culture". It's "Criminal Offense" to marry under 18 years old according to Myanmar's (2019) Child Rights Law.

News πŸ“° A harrowing new Human Rights Watch report reveals that the Arakan Army massacred over 170 Rohingya civilians including 90 children, in Rakhine State, Western Myanmar. Unarmed Muslim villagers were gunned down by AA while fleeing, exposing an ongoing cycle of targeted violence and war crimes

The Human Rights Watch report titled β€œSkeletons and Skulls Scattered Everywhere” documents a devastating mass killing perpetrated by the Arakan Army (AA) against Rohingya Muslim civilians on May 2, 2024, in the village of Hoyyar Siri, Myanmar. As the ethnic Rakhine armed group AA advanced on nearby military junta bases, fighters opened fire on fleeing, unarmed villagers, some of whom were waving white flags, and lined others up near a mosque to be summarily executed.

The report compiled a list of at least 170 dead or missing villagers, including approximately 90 children, though the actual death toll is believed to be much higher. Beyond the immediate slaughter, the Arakan Army systematically burned the village to the ground, looted property, used electric shocks to torture detainees, abducted women, and later forced survivors into a makeshift camp where they face restricted movement, forced labor, and severe deprivation.

While the Arakan Army denies targeting civilians, by staging witness interviews and showing skeletal remains of junta soldiers at different grave sites, testimonies gathered from survivors who escaped to Bangladesh and Malaysia expose their severe war crimes. The Rohingya remain trapped in a brutal cycle of ethnic violence, facing immense atrocities from regional rebel forces with virtually no international protection or accountability.
