What a befitting end to the day!
Did anyone read today's newspapers. A citizen of wonderland kidnapped his 11-year-old daughter and married her off against her will (duh!) to her aunt's (the father's sister) husband!
This is Haram, Haram, Haram .. in Muslim Wonderland.. such things should not happen.
And what follows is even more ridiculous! The pubic prosecutor (not a typo) arrests the father and one of the witnesses.
1. Why wasn't the horny mulla who authorised the illegal marriage not arrested?
2. Why wasn't the prostitute of an aunt who is pimping on her 11-year-old niece not arrested?
3. Why weren't the two witnesses arrested.. why only one?
Come on.. you are either Muslims or fucking hypocrates. Time to draw the line..fellow wonderlandis!

dear joker,
please get real. i don't know how u would have reacted if it was a relative.
an 11-year-old is a child..and deserves to live until she is old enough to get make a choice. CHOICE. something too difficult for a lot of people to comprehend. What? u are calling for us to go back to the Jahilya days?
please reflect on ur nonsensical comment for a second.
this is a serious offence. the rights of an 11-year-old have been revoked. this girl will live with the horror and scars for the rest of her life and those criminals should be punished unless there are losers who would turn around and say it's ok.. the prophet did this and my great grandfather did that.
we either move forward or live in the past..
besides, joker, this girl's marriage is ILLEGAL. you don't marry ur uncle. unless, u have a different social set of values u are more than welcome to enlighten us all about.
u can already tell how good my mood is this morning ;)
fine joker... u are off the hook.. still doesnt improve my mood ;)
i never knew that child marriages take place in bahrein, i just thought Asia and some parts of Africa are famous for that.
So where's the lil girl now? Social Services took her in?
there are child marriages every where and there will continue to be for as long as there are perverts.
social services? in wonderland? that's a scary idea altogether...
Guess I will have to investigate this
it's good maryam and joker are sorting it out amongst themselves...in a civil manner.. back to jacko!
Just more in a long line of nonsense that people do and try to use Islam to justify it. Of course, if the religious leader was arrested it might have offended somebody. I find the marriage of a young girl in these circumstances FAR more offensive.
yeah... but those men of God are a cut above the law Abu Sinan...
scary what those hypocrites are up to...
You mention punishing the aunt - but would she have had any choice in the matter? How fking awful to be forced to accept your husband taking an underage girl as a second wife. I know that divorce rights are much harder for women to obtain in some Islamic countries (and non-Islamic ones too, for that matter) compared to men - there's no triple talaq for the wife to recite.
So I imagine this poor woman, forced to remain married to a disgusting pervert who rapes his own niece"wife" on a nightly basis, desperately ashamed of her husband and powerless to do anything. As for the ordeal of the 11-year-old child - words fail. I really hope she will get the support she needs.
Is there an English version of this story online?
Unfortunately, it was a small insert on P1 of the GDN.
Check this link out: http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/1yr_arc_cover.asp?date=6-28-2005
On the right corner, you will see a copy of P1 of the paper.
Open the Pdf file and zoom in.. It's the second time down the column on the right!
Give me a shout if u need more info!
I don't know about this marriage with 9 year old, but, I can say that Salvation is achieved only when there is celibacy. All the Major religions in the world teach the same...
