    Quoting UN and government data, HRW said nearly 14% of Yemeni girls were married before the age of 15 and 52% before the age of 18. The group said many Yemeni child brides-to-be are kept from school when they reach puberty.

    Disturbing

    .....nuking the country, thus killing the guilty and their victims, potential victims, the entirely innocent....yep, that's a plan.

    Just clicked on the link there, man that's one of the most disturbing images I've ever seen.

    because the irony of killing a lot of children to save said children isn't lost on us all.

    traditionally, afaik, the 'bride's' father and mother and other family members wait for 'proof' the marriage is consummated. the marriage of an 8 yr old. consummated.
    the mind boggles, if this story is real or not the 'marriage' of girls under 16 is prevalent in a lot of countries and this is happening right now somewhere.
    I cant even comprehend a culture where the parents of a tiny child sits outside a room waiting for proof of their daughters marriage. There are no words for all the adults in that situation. but there is a common denominator - islam.

    So all muslims believe in child marriage? Fascinating captain.

    Maybe one day we could focus on the guilty, instead of just lashing out with vague generalisations.

    Pity it's a picture of flower girls (probably the sisters of the grooms) escorting grooms to a mass wedding In Gaza where the men, aged from 18-25 were marying women aged 16-25, with the vast majority of the women being well over 18 and having been widowed.

    Yeah i actually said the opposite of that. the common denominator in the child brides practice around the world is islam. ie those who marry off their female children are muslim not that all muslims are child rapists.

    OT but Y'know I have always felt that way about first communions.

    As pointed out above, pictures of girls in bridal outfits can be misleading.

    Exactly, first communion almost identical tot he pictured scenario... There are peadophile s in every country religion etc... There is also anti Muslim propaganda churned out on a daily rate.. Really wish people would google stuff before passing it on for the more impressionable minds present to digest and regurgitate.

    I read this last night.... Heart breaking!

    Culture and social acceptance is a weird thing...
    We condemn it being we assume the position of being enlightened, albeit we are from a country whereby priests systematically sodomised young boys...

    But if you where born into that culture do you think you would be enlightened enough to stand up against it??

    One who's been raised to believe the little girl has little value, and that it's culturally appropriate to marry one. No crime, nothing of importance, nothing to even be remotely concerned about.

    I doubt he thinks of himself as a child rapist, since his wider culture is accepting of the practise.

    NOT that I am saying this is condoned throughout Islam, just that it obviously is in some pockets.

    An eight year girl who was married has died on the wedding night from internal hemorrhaging. She was married to a man five times her age.

    To be honest, the title of the thread should be '8 Year Old Child Raped to Death'. At least it would be more honest, since she wouldn't have given informed consent to either marriage or to sex.

    Well when there profit himself was paedophile of course it would be prevalent in the customs of those who follow

    Was not in anyway shocked by this story.

    And they say the western world is fcked up.. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit


    I don't know which is more evil, what was done to the girl or the fact that so many are trying to cover it up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,324 ✭✭✭tallus


    It's hard to believe that any parent would willingly allow something like that to happen to their eight year old daughter, very scary.

    Rrreally. You know that there is Hindu child marriage as well? African Christian child marriage (Ethiopia, if I recall correctly...)

    Our religion teaches us women should be subservient to men, homosexuality is wrong and there is nothing wrong with a good stoning now and then, we may not practise this anymore but the majority of people are still up on a Sunday to go to mass!

    In essence religion is evil!
