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.

I would help this man of 40 who destroys this poor child’s uterus.

I would cut his penis off to about a half inch so it could not damage the child, and stuff the rest in his mouth and sew it shut.

And I thought the 5 year old beaten to death by her father was bad.

The age of consent in Yemen is 15. Loosely enforced, obviously.

GD savages.

Ok, so I’m around 40...and I couldn’t fathom “marrying” or doing God knows with either an 8 year old or a 15 year old.

I liked 8 years old girls when I was 8. I liked 15 year old girls when I was 15.

Pathetic pedophiles, thy name is “Islam”.

Some are more equal than others...

I laugh when you look at who supports “multiculturism”: Fags, Dykes, Feminazis, ACLU-types, etc.

They’d be the first ones to be beheaded.

Well... the freakshow is being used by the muzz to help them get what they want.

It’s the “Enemy of my enemy is my friend” thing.

Once again, Useful Idiots...

The Religion of Peace strikes again. What kind of man would go for something like that? It’s so grotesque, even many Muslims are horrified. I don’t like the idea of public executions, but it would be appropriate in this case. The perp should have known better.

"What kind of man would go for something like that?"

The same kind of man who would bugger a camel.

If he's punished at all it will probably be a slap on the wrist.
