This article mentions in the section Child marriage that
Mia's Law was enacted in 2006 to protect child brides from abuse following the torture and murder of Mia Armador, an 11-year-old who was killed by her abusive 48-year-old husband. This law requires all marriages under 13 to require special government permission.
The source cited is
"A toothless law to combat child marriage". The Daily Star. 1 April 2014.
This online newspaper article makes no mention of Mia Armador or Mia's law. Using the Wayback Machine I was unable to find a mention of Mia either, if this article was ever edited. When I did a google search on "Mia Armador" and "Mia's law", no relevant sources of information was returned - only a plethora of sites mentioning the text about Mia that's included in this article. Searching "Mia Armador" in Bangla didn't return anything at all.
Perhaps there are national/local newspapers in Bangladesh mentioning Mia's murder case and Mia's Law? Since it gave rise to "Mia's Law", shouldn't all national newspapers have run article(s) on the topic? These should be added as reference.
It is to be noted that while child marriage is rampant in Bangladesh, in the mentioned year 2006 there was a blanket ban on marriages under age 18, right? Then it is unclear to me how Mia's law would require "all marriages under 13 to require special government permission," since such a marriage, including that of 11-year-old Mia Armador, is actually illegal in Bangladesh.
At this point a reader would be unable to verify (and know further about) it. Mia's law - who proposed it, and under which portion of Bangladesh Code has it been coded? Wouldn't such a law contradict with the then existing laws of Bangladesh? And what became of Mia's case itself - in which district/village did this unfortunate incident occur, and what sentence was imposed for the murder?
Unless a proper reference for the information is added, it would remain unsourced and in violation of Wikipedia's guidelines.
