The parents of a 14-year-old Pakistani Christian girl, who was abducted, forcibly converted to Islam and married off to her abductor, will approach the Supreme Court after a lower court ruled that marriage with an underage girl is valid as per the Sharia law if she has had her first menstrual cycle. Huma was 14 when she was abducted in October last year and forced to marry her abductor Abdul Jabbar after being converted to Islam, according to her parents Younis and Nagheena Masih.
Their counsel Tabassum Yousuf on Friday said they would seek justice from the Supreme Court after the Sindh High Court, as per the Sharia law, said earlier this week that even if the girl, Huma, was found to be underage, the marriage between her and her alleged abductor, Jabbar, would be valid as she has already had her first menstrual cycle.
After they approached the Sindh High Court to see their daughter, the court, in a hearing on February 3, ordered the police to oversee the tests to confirm her age. However, Judges Muhammad Iqbal Kalhoro and Irshad Ali observed that under the Sharia law, the marriage would be valid even if Huma was underage. Tabbasum said that the ruling was not in accordance with the Sindh Child Marriage Restraint Act passed in 2014 which outlawed marriages of girls under 18 years, in a bid to stop forced marriages of minors in the province, primarily of Hindu and Christian community.

That God advocates? Please, one example.
I'm not suggesting or saying you're wrong, but what makes you say that, that the Pakis are the worst, above Iraq, Iran, Saudi, whoever else?
Hard experience.
I won’t pry further. :(
ping me also with the one example where God commands it.
SICKO!
The difference being that nobody in the Christian faith insists that this is a behavior to emulate or allow, which even morons can understand... apparently you haven't attained that intellectual level yet.
Great comment! Sad sad sad sad....
Love your tagline!
Alan fookbar.
What would Satan do?
I don’t know, create the religion of peace, maybe?
Suggest you qualify that stupid statement. If you are saying that the laws of Moses advocate rape I would love to see the scripture quote. If you are saying that the Bible records in its history incidences of rape then your statement is simply provocative and lines up with internet trolls the world over.
That was sort of my point.
Yep. Mine too.
How absolutely horrible! To be “married” to someone who raped and kidnapped you, and the stinking idiot “judge” says it’s OK? Sounds like hubby needs a touch-up circumcision with a Smith and Wesson.
Eh? Did Aisha have her first period before mohammad married her? She was only 6 years old after all...
As I remember clinton’s early actions as president was to try and reduce the age of consent to 13
Did he? Yikes.
There are cases of rape in the Old Testament but it is never condoned but always condemned.
