UK Muslims Demand Voting Age Be Lowered To 13 So Their Wives Can Vot
Babylon Bee ^ | 07/17/2025 | Babylon Bee

LONDON — In a protest to make the nation's democratic process more inclusive, Muslims in the United Kingdom marched to demand that the voting age be lowered to 13 so their wives would be able to vote.

Following intense debate on the wisdom and necessity of lowering the voting age in the UK, lawmakers agreed that there could be a case to be made for making it legal for the child brides of the country's millions of Muslim residents to vote in elections.

"Every wife in the UK should have the right to vote, even when they are children," said UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. "13-year-old Muslim wives across this country should have a say in who takes leadership roles, even though they have basically no say in anything in their households. It's important for our nation to have more and more Muslims voting so we can more speedily progress toward the complete destruction of our way of life."

Child brides of Muslims throughout the United Kingdom were in favor of the change. "I would be thankful to have a vote in something, at least," said one 13-year-old who was forced into marrying a 40-year-old Muslim man. "Under Sharia Law, I'm basically a slave, so having the chance to vote would be nice. Of course, I'll just vote the way my husband tells me to."

At publishing time, new polls factoring in the proposed change in legal voting age showed that the next election cycle in the UK featured a close race between Muhammad, Mohammed, and Muhamad.

If a 16 year old girl can vote she should be able to have sex with her 24 year old boyfriend without government or parental interference.

Shouldn’t they be looking to lower it to 6? Wasn’t that the age of “the prophet’s” “wife”, Aisha?

And yes, I am aware that this is the Bee. Just seems like they missed the opportunity to illustrate the absurdity of islam.

In California, the minimum marital age has long been 12, I’m guessing to cover the shotgun weddings of yesteryear.

“In California, the minimum marital age has long been 12, I’m guessing to cover the shotgun weddings of yesteryear.”

AI says there is no minimum age.

I wasn’t talking about marriage, I was talking about age of consent and statutory rape issues.

In that case, shouldn’t it be lowered to 7 years old?

That is brilliant!

They already said wives.

Oh, you mean the four legged kind.

Coming next, a fatwa will be issued to the Bee for disrespecting Islam.

Is that discriminating against 9 year old Muslim wives?
