If mother of two Sandar Myat Min chooses to have another child, Myanmar's government could decide when she can become pregnant.
A law enacted last month by the quasi-civilian government allows officials in the Buddhist-majority nation to order women to wait three years between births. Rights groups say the changes, which are backed by ultra-nationalist Buddhist groups, target Muslim women.
"People have their rights regardless of their religion," said 33-year-old Sandar Myat Min, a Muslim whose youngest daughter is four months old. "If the population were too high like China, I accept that we should control it. But here, it's not like that."
