They issued a series of fatwas at the end of the gathering, the most eye-catching of which was aimed at tackling child marriage. It urged the government to raise the minimum legal age for women to marry to 18 from the current age of 16. The United Nations childrens' agency UNICEF defines child marriage as a formal marriage or informal union before age 18, and says women are most affected. | They issued a series of fatwas at the end of the gathering, the most eye-catching of which was aimed at tackling child marriage.

The problem is widespread in Indonesia, with one in four women marrying before 18, according to the agency. Religious Affairs Minister Lukman Hakim Saifuddin, who attended the meeting, suggested authorities would examine the proposal: "I will take this recommendation to the government." He also praised the gathering: "This congress succeeded in fighting for justice in the relationship between men and women." | The problem is widespread in Indonesia, with one in four women marrying before 18, according to the agency.

Among the other fatwas issued was one against women being sexually abused; and one against environmental destruction, in a country that struggles every year with huge fires that are started illegally and devastate vast swathes of rainforest. Fatwas are regularly issued in Indonesia but it is usually the male-dominated Indonesian Ulema Council—the country's highest Islamic authority—that declares them. About 90 percent of Indonesia's population of 255 million people are Muslim. | Among the other fatwas issued was one against women being sexually abused; and one against environmental destruction, in a country that struggles every year with huge fires that are started illegally and devastate vast swathes of rainforest.
