Saudi Arabia's most senior cleric has told followers it is permissible for ten-year-old girls to marry and anyone who think they are too young are doing the youngsters 'an injustice'. Abdul-Azeez ibn Abdullaah Aal ash-Shaikh, the country's grand mufti, said: 'It is wrong to say it's not permitted to marry off girls who are 15 and younger. 'A female who is ten or 12 is marriageable and those who think she's too young are wrong and are being unfair to her,' he said during a Monday lecture. Al Sheikh's comments come at a time when Saudi human rights groups have been pushing the government to put an end to marriages involving the very young and to define a minimum age for marriage.
In the past few months, Saudi newspapers have highlighted several cases in which young girls were married off to much older men or very young boys. Though the mufti's pronouncements are respected and provide guidance, the government is not legally bound by them.

Disgusting
Sick pigs.
Well if they are fighting injustice, Jimmy Carter will be all for it.
Waiting for the outrage from NOW. Any minute now. Soon. Just wait. Outrage anyone? NOW? NOW? Bueller? Bueller? Fry? Fry?
Completly Disgusting, This is but one more reason to wipe these vermin out.
The article used the phrase — “Saudi human rights groups...”
Isn’t that an oxymoron?
LOL!!
Nor would I be bound by a .... mufti.
From Daniel Pipes Blog:

“22, 2007 update:
This year, the House voted again to ban any aid to Saudi Arabia. In 2005 and 2006, US$2.5 million went to Riyadh to train Saudis in counter-terrorism and border security and to pay for Saudi military officers to attend U.S. military school.
The prohibition was attached to a foreign aid funding bill and faces a veto from the White House.
The Reuters article notes that “In the past three years, Congress has passed bills to stop the relatively small amount of U.S. aid to Saudi Arabia, only to see the Bush administration circumvent the prohibitions.
Now, lawmakers are trying to close loopholes so that no more U.S. aid can be sent to the world’s leading petroleum exporter.”
What is the marriageable age for goats?
Shaking my head here. I guess Maurice Chevalier’s song “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is popular in Saudi Arabia.
N.O.W. reminds me of the Southpark episode where the towns people bury their heads in sand so not to offend the muslims during the Family Guy broadcast of an image of Mohammad.......
These guys are not very attractive. If women had a choice they would never marry a guy like this.
This is what the failure of our leadership in establishing oil independence has led to.
We could end it by decisive action or continue to see this kind of barbarism exert an ever growing influence.
So a phony “religion” is invented by a power and wealth hungry sexual deviant and pedophile and we’re supposed to be surprised that his followers approve of aberrant behavior?
I would call such as these stinking low life animals, but even animals have more sense and respect for their you. This should send a shiver down everyone’s spine. AND if I hear one more person bad mouth America and its Constitution, they will get this story in their face. Angry? No, but legalized pedophilia shows the level of humanity and inteligence
An undeniable truth of life. Islam exists to guarantee that ugly guys get a wife, even if she's 10 years old.
This is sick and so is that freak in SA.
In America, we call it “pedophilia”, and we put the perpetrators in prison.
