The Israeli police prevented a Haredi family from marrying their 14-year-old daughter to a man at least a decade older than she is:

Police prevented a Haredi wedding of a 14-year-old girl to a 24-year-old man in Jerusalem, at the last minute.

The ceremony had been slated to take place last week, Channel 12 said Thursday, reporting that police were tipped off shortly beforehand and arrested the girl’s parents.

They have since been released to house arrest, but the child has been placed in the custody of welfare services.

In a recorded phone conversation with Channel 12, the girl’s mother insisted that she was not aware Israeli law bars marriages of children under the age of 18, and insisted there was nothing wrong with the arrangement.

“I didn’t know this was like a person stealing or murdering or that it is something that harms anyone,” the woman claimed. “I know a lot of girls who get married at the age of 15. It happens a lot [in our community]. There are a lot of girls who are ready for it.”

And that's because they're indoctrinated into it, mainly by their tribal leaderships, and by sick people like the mother herself. There's one example of a mother who doesn't know what's good for her child. It's clear her own education was so insular, she never read any books on the legal system in Israel. She went on to say:

She lamented that relationships between teenagers in the “secular world” are deemed legitimate, while the marriage of children in Haredi communities are not. The mother went on to demand that authorities return her daughter home.

The mother’s defense attorney Hila Yehezkel told Channel 12 that “now that the parents have been told the minor’s marriage would have been illegal, they have understood this.”

Meanwhile, police were probing whether the planned marriage was part of a widespread phenomenon or an isolated incident.

And I guess romances between teenagers in the "secular" world are illegitimate to scum like her, and only following marriage is intimacy allowed? The way these kind of prudes think sickens me.

As offensive as the above is, I hope authorities are just as responsible when it comes to dealing with underaged marriages in Islamic communities. Somebody in the comments section said:

Rather sad that Jewish parents believe a marrage of a girl aged 14 is permissible. What is the situation in traditional Judaism, hopefully no where near the situation which prevails within Islam, as exampled by their Prophet, who in his fifties married a girl aged 6 and which marriage was consumated when she was either 8 or 9. Rather a strange choice as their GOD's messenger, in my opinion.

So the question arises, what does the Israeli Police Force do in observing the marriages of young Arab girls in Israel?.

Yes, I definitely hope authorities are concerned about underaged marriages under Islam as well. If they find examples, they must arrest all involved and place the girl in safe custody, as far away from the community in question as possible. In the meantime, the parents of the Haredi girl should not be allowed to regain custody of their daughter, to send a message what happens when you abuse a child that badly.
