LONDON: British children as young as nine "are being compelled into wedlock by their families" against their will, reportes said.

This revelation came as official figures disclosed that nearly 60 children were rescued by UK's Forced Marriage Unit in the past four years. The cases fuel concerns that a number of children are disappearing from UK schools to be forced into marriage overseas.

Karma Nirvana, a charity which runs a national helpline on forced marriage said in one incident a nine-year-old girl from a Pakistani family was rescued after her parents told her to wed. On average four children a month contact its helpline.

Very common in islam.

Children are tools used to bring money to the parents.

They can be sold or used as martyrs for cash and prizes.

In muslim countries selling ones children is a large part of their GDP.

well, to you and me, yes, babies, to Moose limbs, they're called brides.

Warn your kids, grandkids. Make them visit Saudia or the non-touristy spots of the M-E so they KNOW what we're up against

What visit a place where you have no rights? No thanks, that is a bad idea. Just educate them properly. Isn’t multiculturlism fun though!

No, they MUST visit such a place to know what it’s like. I support multi-culturalism, but slam is NOT Culture — you can have cultures like Japanese, Indian, English, American, Italian, Persian, etc. living together with no issue but the paedo’s religion of peace is not a culture
