The continuing horror of Islamic child marriage
Abdullah Bashar writes about Islam's backing for child marriage, all at the expense of the girls victimized by such an obscene, perverted practice, and the worst part, of course, is that:
In the view of all Muslim scholars (whether Sunni or Shia), there is no established age when a female can be married off. In light of this, a Muslim man is allowed to wed girls who are significantly younger than nine, and even to engage in sexual activity with them [...]Much of what's in discussion is too repulsive to highlight here, so read on at the article at your own risk. This is very serious subject matter, and it can't be ignored if we're to find how to put an end to this absolute horror that's destroyed only so many girls' lives over many centuries.
