kanilang mga magulang di umano sa
pilitan ding
ipinapakalat 12 years old na kinasal

valid So yung mga ikinasal na below 18
years of age hindi valid yung kasal non

agad bumalik matapos lumabas o bumaba ng
bundok ang naiwan daw nitong asawa

yung natira doon makakapili ka ng babae
na gusto mong maasawa Ang kasal ay
kinakailangan boluntaryo yan na pinasok
