A court in Saudi Arabia is reported to be preparing to hear a plea for divorce from an eight-year-old girl who has been married off to a man in his 50s. The Saudi newspaper al-Watan said the girl had been married off to the man by her father without her knowledge. The child's mother is thought to be pushing for the marriage to be annulled - though the father opposes the move. In April, a court in neighbouring Yemen annulled the arranged marriage of another eight-year-old girl. She had been married to a 28-year-old man. Child-protection groups say children are often given away in return for hefty dowries, or as a result of old customs in which a father promises his infant daughters and sons to cousins out of a belief that marriage will protect them from illicit relationships. Activists have called for an end to the practice.

The day after 9/11 we should have turned all Islamic countries to glass.....
She may get what she wants,but daddy’s gonna have to kill her to preserve his honor.
some of those people from utah would fit right into that culture.
Korans, here! Get your Korans, here! Guaranteed psychological problems for everyone who reads! Get your Korans, right here!!!!



The only reason this news has reached beyond the Islamic nations is because of Christians hatred of Muslims.
Allah through his prophet Mohammad encourages marriage before intimacy.
How can a Muslim man satisfy his love of children if this marriage is annulled.
The great Satan is once again failing to understand the Koran.
Islam is a Religion of Peace, don'tcha know?
The Koran and grenades always seem to go hand to hand.You never see one without seeing the other.
It was good enough for Muhamad.
This is a disgusting post. There are many people in Iran, for example, like the students, who truly detest their government and would love to see a new government there. They detest Ahmedinejad. And you think we should have just killed all of the innocent people, even those with no ties to terrorism? That’s just disgusting. That’s what our enemies do-like they did on 9/11. They killed more than 3000 innocent Americans. Innocent civilians may die in wars but we DO NOT kill them on purpose. That is what differentiates us from the monsters on the other side, and you want to throw all of that right out the window. Collective punishment is immoral. I hope you don’t call yourself pro-life.
"TEHRAN (AFP) Iranian students staged a noisy protest against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the country's top university in Tehran on Monday, likening him to the late Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. Riot police barred the group of about 100 chanting male and female students from leaving the Tehran University campus, where Ahmadinejad was giving a speech to mark the start of a new academic year, a witness told AFP. "Ahmadinejad is Pinochet! Iran will not become Chile," the students shouted, the witness said."
It is not that easy in these cases.
The father is as sick and twisted as the scumbag who married the child. What are the odds that he will murder her to protect the “honor” of the family? I’ll never understand these so called fathers who treat their young daughters like slaves. They should be protecting their daughters, not pimping them out and killing them.

Islam Delenda Est. Turning ‘em into glass certainly would ‘delenda’ ‘em.
