Some Tik Tok users were sceptical of the union as the couple are still underage while some left supporting advice for the newlyweds.
“If you’re truly ready, then please by all means, marriage is not easy dear young ones, but whatever it is, Selamat Pengantin Baru!” said user Rosekhadija.
“You need to make sure that you yourself is really ready, it’s not just for the sake of looking sweet together,” said user chickinwingzz.
According to the Federal Teritory’s Islamic Family Law Act 1984, the minimum age requirement for marriage for men is 18 years old while for women it is 16 years old.
However, exceptions can be made if the Shariah Judge has granted permission in writing in certain circumstances.
