follow Muhammed, marry girls in elementary school
And yet another story of a small girl, 8 year old from Saudi Arabia, married to a 47 years old (another source says 58 years old) man in Saudi Arabia. Typical scenario: parents are seperated, father gets in debt, sells off his daughter for 30,000 SAR = $8, 010 (which is called: gives her to be married) to a guy 5 times her age. That’s it.
The girl will attend 4th grade at the time of her marriage, but apparently she was not yet informed about the events. Mother protested in the court, wanting a divorce for her daughter, but the judge said that she is not a legal guardian (she is separated from the girl’s father), and only the girl can file a divorce petition, after she reaches her puberty. What a system…wow.
The old husband promised that he will not consummate the marriage until the girl is 18. I don’t believe him at all. Once this story quiets down, he can do whatever he wants. Why would he marry a girl anyway, in his age, to wait 10 more years? He will surely follow Muhammed’s advice and example.
I wrote this few months ago, commenting about another girl in Yemen, who was married against her will:
Muslims are to follow Muhammed’s example. After Muhammed’s first wife died, he married his best friend’s daughter, Aisha. She was six at that time, so he had to wait to consummate the marriage until she was about nine. (There are controversies about Aisha’s age, some Muslim scholars are trying to convince the masses, that she was bit older than that).
Muhammed followed the cultural norm established in his land: marrying young girls and starting sexual interactions with them after their first menses was a norm at that time in the Arabic Peninsula (Jewish custom said the girl must be at least 12.5, the boy at least 13). Therefore Muhammed established this practice for his followers to come for the next centuries. Islam authoritatively and consequently follows His Prophet’s example till today.
To make things easier for the men, there is a Fatwa (ruling on Islamic law issued by an Islamic scholar) explaining Muhammed’s sexual relationship with Aisha, which they can follow, if needed.
(…) answering the question about “thighing” of Aisha, (…)
After the committee studied the issue, they gave the following reply:
It has not been the practice of the Muslims throughout the centuries to resort to this unlawful practice that has come to our countries from pornographic movies that the kufar (infidels) and enemies of Islam send. As for the prophet, peace and prayer of Allah be upon him, thighing his fiancée Aisha. She was six years of age and he could not have intercourse with her due to her small age. That is why [the prophet] peace and prayer of Allah be upon him placed HIS [MALE] MEMBER BETWEEN HER THIGHS AND MASSAGED IT SOFTLY, as the apostle of Allah had control of his [male] member not like other believers..

Muslim?
Welcome to the world of Christianity too. The only difference between the middle east muslims and the western christians is here we have a strong secular government. Take away our Roman legal system and let the US slip into christian governance and this is exactly the type of thing you will see here too. And it was the type of thing you saw in colonial america and europe before secular kings pulled power away from the clergy.
This isn’t a ‘muslim’ problem.. it is a theological state problem and NO religion in the history of humanity has been immune.
Sorry, folks, the childish excuse of “they do it, too” doesn’t work when discussing CHILD RAPING. Doesn’t matter if it’s a “custom” or not. it’s a SICK DISGUSTING PRATICE and any man who marries a child younger than 18 is a PEDOPHILE.
Mohammed the “prophet” was a sick child molester.
All Muslims follow the words of a FILTHY PIG
who was FIFTY-ONE when he married a SIX YEAR OLD GIRL.
Maybe other religions used to do the same thing.
THEY ARE PIGS TOO, and don’t still CONTINUE the practice.
Muslims, as usual, are about 1000 years behind the rest of the world, so they still consider this a MARRIAGE, not a RAPE.
I wonder if this current childbride will be raped before she can bring a divorce proceeding.
Neeneko,
no matter what, if we look at the founders of Christianity and Islam (Jesus and Mouhammed), they are incomparable…
I personally would have a biiiig problem if Jesus Christ would have several wives and consummate marriage with one of them being 9 years old. It amazes me continually, that Muslims do not feel nothing in that matter about The Prophet.
This is just sick…where is the UN and UN Human rights groups when you really need them. Ya, as if this disgusting man is going to wait until the girl hits puberty to take advantage of her. I feel for this poor little girl and the world should step in and put and end to this and all other sub-human muslim crap..
twka,
You do realize that like mormonism, islam is a branch of christianity? They do follow jesus and his teachings but just like jesus extended the old testament they have extended things further (it should also be noted that they include MORE of the old and new testaments then the current revisions of the bible, so in some ways they are closer to god’s words then modern christians).
And of course you would have problems if jesus had multiple (and some underaged) wives, most christians have a problem with the idea of jesus being anything other then celebate. But to put it bluntly, judiasm/christianity/islam ALL have a strong tradition of both polygamy an marrying minors. These practices have been dropped in the modern world because of secular goverments. If you look at regions where we still have theocratic christian rule these things still happen (the FLDS being an example in america, but the results are not unique).
It should also be noted that biblicaly, such young marriages were common because people started breeding when nature intended them (as opposed to the modern idea of forced innocence), so yes, people got married when they were 8-12, but most people only lived till 30. Try to imagine giving birth and raising a family (making sure that your children could provide for themselves) when your own lifespan cut you off in your 30s? You better believe you will marry young. In the antient world any girl (or boy) who hit puberty and was physically ready to breed WAS an adult at that point.
That does not excuse the practice today though when life expectancies are MUCH longer, though in the US we have swung the pendulum the other way and treat children as non-sentient idiots for WAY too long.
Don’T you guys say something bad about islam.

Hello There, You take the story you want to distort the image of Islam and did not investigate the details of The real story, and you also talk about what he did, the Prophet, which has something distinctive about The rest of the people That The God give it to All Prophets.
Reviewed the stories of the prophets, even if it is several stories in several different subjects.
So be honest with yourself in order to provide image the realy of the truth and not false.
those who say anything wrong about islam or prophet mohammed will anderstand after died.

Doug, Trough out history you cannot find in any place anytime when Muhammad had made a mistake in life, he is such an innocent man you are abusing. Get to find out the wisdom he had brought to mankind (to women and children, old and young military and civil). Make comparison between the book you read and that revealed to Muhammad, which contains discrepancies and which is clear cut and send entirely divine message?
