An eight-year-old child bride has died in Yemen of internal bleeding sustained during her wedding night after being forced to marry a man five times her age, activists have claimed.
The girl, identified only as Rawan, died in the tribal area of Hardh in northwestern Yemen, which borders Saudi Arabia.
Activists are now calling for the groom, who is believed to be around 40 years old, and her family to be arrested so they can face justice in the courts.
They say arrests would help put a stop to the practice of marrying very young girls to older men in the impoverished region.
Angry Man, a blogger, posted that the man was 'an animal who deserved to be punished severely for his crime'.
'All those who supported such a crime should also be punished,' he added.
Another blogger, called Omar, wrote: 'Rawan’s family members are not humans. They do not deserve to have children.'
But another blogger, called 'Sad', appeared more sympathetic to the custom. He wrote: 'Her family and her groom could have waited for some time before having this marriage,' Sad said.
'It was not fair at all and the marriage should not have happened even if some tribes believe that it is a good custom.'
The practice of marrying young girls is widespread in Yemen and has attracted the attention of international rights groups seeking to pressure the government to outlaw child marriages.
Yemen's gripping poverty plays a role in hindering efforts to stamp out the practice, as poor families find themselves unable to say no to 'bride-prices' that can be hundreds of dollars for their daughters.

Ahhh... the Religion of Peace. Raping children. But then again, their patron saint did the same thing.
savages pedophiles death cult animals........I loath them
I’d like to bind him to a post and sight my M1A in from 600 yards on his head.
The war on women! Where is our great leader on this issue. Out golfing or maybe he is trying to get a war started in Syria? Amazing that we hear nothing from our leftist scum party. The great party on women’s rights. This is what they are, all lip service.
You’re too kind.
Disagree. Use a .17 air rifle instead.
Just think how many shots it would take...
They’re here...and continue bringing in more and more family members. And their “customs”
I’d rather remove his head with a box cutter.
I could see that @ 50 yrds course he wouldn’t seemch after two shots.
Bingo!
Where is a chemical warhead when you need one?
Seriously, Islam as practiced in many parts of the world should be outlawed as human rights violations.
Islam doesn’t deserve to have ANY females in their cult of death.
I would rather tie him to a post at 600m, mount a bayonet on my M1A, and have a bugler blow “CHARGE”!
That would be a very satisfying workout. No sense wasting precious 7.62x51mm rounds on such a savage.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is wide spread in Islamic areas. This girl probably had type IV FGM which removes all the labia, clitoris, etc and then the wound is stitched up leaving only a small hole for urine and menses.
Due to the small hole, the opening is often enlarged with a knife by the “husband”. The Muslim honeymoon resorts often have soundproofed rooms for this act - wouldn’t want to disturb others, would Achmed?
Given the blood supply and the possibility of a clumsy knife wielding husband and a thrashing “bride”, that a girl bled out should come as no surprise.
Conclusion:
ISLAM DELENDA EST! - because of what Islam is and what Muslims do.
Bass turd!!!
You people keep one upping me!
Where the heck is the “Like” button?
I'd also like to stomp a mudhole in the fathers chest who sold this little girl to this islamic monster.
Freakin Ehhh ...
Yes, and they're rapid breeders. How many years before they'll enjoy a political plurality in this country?
