Yemeni Child Bride, Eight, 'Dies On Wedding Night' [Filthy Muslim Culture: Child (8) to Man (40)]

Yemeni Child Bride, Eight, 'Dies On Wedding Night' Yemen locals claim a girl has died of internal bleeding after marrying a man five times her age, but official denies allegations

An eight-year-old Yemeni girl has died of internal bleeding on her wedding night after marrying a man five times her age, a social activist and two local residents said, in a case that has caused an outcry in the media and revived debate about child brides.

Arwa Othman, head of Yemen's House of Folklore and a leading rights campaigner, said the girl, identified only as Rawan, was married to a 40-year-old late last week in the town of Meedi in Hajjah province, north-western Yemen.

"On the wedding night and after intercourse, she suffered from bleeding and uterine rupture which caused her death," Othman said. "They took her to a clinic but the medics couldn't save her life."

Othman said authorities had not taken any action against the girl's family or her husband.

A security official in the provincial town of Haradh denied any such incident had taken place. He did not want to be identified because he was not authorised to speak to the press.

But two Meedi residents contacted by Reuters confirmed the incident and said tribal chiefs had tried to cover up the incident when the news broke, warning a local journalist against covering the story.

Many poor families in Yemen marry off young daughters to save on the costs of bringing up a child and earn extra money from the dowry given to the girl.

What’s the problem ? .... Mohammad, the perfect man according to the sickness called Islam, married his 12th blushing bride when she was only seven years old.

All men may be created equal, but some are born into and enthusiastically embrace a religion of evil.

as sickening and tragic as this is, it is comforting to know every POS muslim will also be judged by God

Obama claims that thew Religion of Islam is a beautiful religion of peace, and that the sounds from the Mosques of prayer calls in the evening are unequaled as you enjoy the evening.

I wonder if Obama would say that sound was as sweet to this poor young girl, as it is to him and his daughters.

Of course it is wrong. That is my point. Those tree limb cutters can be used to remove certain misused pieces of anatomy...
