CNN) -- A Saudi mother is expected to appeal a judge's ruling after he once again refused to let her 8-year-old daughter divorce a 47-year-old man, a relative said.

Sheikh Habib Al-Habib made the ruling Saturday in the Saudi city of Onaiza. Late last year, he rejected a petition to annul the marriage.

Does this surprise anyone? After all this 47 year old man is simply following the example of the pedophile profit Muhammad. Muhammad himself was 47 when he consumated his marriage to nine year old Aisha. Needless to say the civilized world is outraged that this judge refuses for a 2nd time to annul this marriage. The sick twisted 47 year old man says he will not consumate the marriage until the girl reaches puberty.

I know, its the usual tactic when they try to defend the indefensible. Its a diversion tactic that the appeasers and supporters of this type of thing use. But we know who they are, they are the lowest of the low, the bottom of the proverbial barrel.

isn't that religion bashing?

Ahh, the first appeasr and defender of the disgusting has appeared. No it is TRUTH. Something that some folks have a problem embracing because its not PC.
 
Bub, do you deny that some muslim men follow the example of Muhammad when it comes to marriage of prepubescent girls. And when a 47 year old man consumates a marriage to a 9 year old girl is that man a pedophile?
 
Dearly beloved,

Blah blah blah blah blah......

I now pronounce you man and wife.

Of course it is the truth. But what is the point of posting things like that again and again, if it is not to demonize Islam?

It's like some posters creating countless threads about Obama. Factually they are often accurate (like the story about the iPod), but their sole objective isn't about debating, it is just about bashing. And that's not very constructive.

Things like this need to be brought out into the light. We need to shame these people to change and reform. Nothing will ever change if disgusting behavior like this stays in the shadows of society. Disgusting behavior I might add that is sanctioned by Islam which is need of a major reformation.

Example: Pedophile Catholic Priest sexually abused young boys for who knows how long. Exposure in the media and victims talking about this forced change.

No, and yes. I'm not debating about that. I agree with you: it's barbaric.

It's just that everything that is posted about Islam is about terrorism, honor killings or marriages with young girls. The muslim world isn't only made of terrorists, murders and pedophiles.

It's as if I started to create dozens of threads about Americans being fat KKK members. There are KKK members and there are fat Americans, but there are also normal people over there
 
And besides I do not have to demonize Islam. Muslims by there very actions
(i.e. suicide bombings in the name of Allah, sex with babies like there prophet did, etc.) do a pretty good job of demonizing Islam don't you think?

The man said in the article he will only consumate the marriage when she hit puberty.

Even so unfortunately these cases are widespread across the poor world, marriages being arranged and consumated at puberty. It is certainly not confined to the Muslim world, but the Hindu world and the Christain African world (where even slavery still exists to this day). They offend our western sensibilities because we live longer and women have fought themselves for centuries to be our equals. Child marriage is against the law in Saudi Arabia (they signed up to the international charter), so I suspect the marriage will be broken, eventually by the state. The reason why the Saudi court did not at this hearing, is because the mother is not her legal guardian (seperated).

The question you have to ask youself. Is this widespread in Islam? Or just an extreme example of it?

Couldn't I (by your logic) say that Christainity is a homosexual peadophile cult because priests/ministers/pastors have had, are having and will have sex with young boys?

Generalisations, generalisations, generalisations.

Members of the KKK claim to be Christains. However the hierarchy of the church does not recognize them as such. In the case of terrorist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood, Hizbullah, and Hamas who are responsible for the murder of many innocent civillians in Allahs name are in fact recognized by the Islamic hierarchy as brothers in Islam. Do you see the difference?

not a defense, just trying to open the peeps eyes to how sick men can be....


How many Catholic priests abused 8 year old boys or girls without offering a hand in marriage? :lol::lol:

What if she hits puberty at the age of 9 as Aisha did when Muhammad consumated that marriage. Are you ok with that? More importantly as a society should this be allowed? Garza would you consider marriage to an 8 year old? Or like most of the civilized world would you find the thought of having sex with a little girl repulsive and disgusting?

There's no such thing as an Islamic Hierarchy silly. Your argument is lightly threaded at best and completely dishonest at worst. Show me this 'Islamic Hierarchy' that recognizes them. Not only that but show me the head honcho in this Islamic Hierarchy.

The question I have to ask myself is if as you say "Child marriage is against the law in Saudi Arabia" why has the state not removed this child from this pedophile and put his ass in prison where he belongs?
 
So long as the judge is faithfully and objectively ruling on and interpreting Saudi law, he is in the right. So long as Saudi Arabia's law is in compliance with such international treaties as may exist regarding marriage and children as to which the Saudis have become signatories, he is in the right (this is an aspect of international law of which I know very little, and so I do not know if Saudi law in this regard is in violation of such a treaty or no).

Such unions should never be made lawful in this country, and, I trust, will never be made lawful in this country, but, as Saudi Arabia is a sovereign nation, it is their prerogative as a sovereign nation to order their society in accordance with such values as they deem fitting. That includes marrying off 8 year old girls.

To say otherwise is to challenge the sovereignty of nations. To say otherwise is to challenge our own sovereignty.
 
Members of the KKK claim to be Christains.

I don't care if they're christians or buddhists. The point is that they're Americans. And not all Americans are KKK members.
 
There's no such thing as an Islamic Hierarchy silly. Your argument is lightly threaded at best and completely dishonest at worst. Show me this 'Islamic Hierarchy' that recognizes them. Not only that but show me the head honcho in this Islamic Hierarchy.

Lets start with the Grand Mufti. In Sunni muslim countries such as Syria, Saudi Arabia, etc. The Grand Mufti is the religious leader of that country. In Saudi Arabia Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdulaziz Al al-Sheikh would be part of this hierarchy.

In Shia muslim countries such as Iran Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who is the supreme leader with more power than the president is at the top of the Shia hierarchy in Iran.

Much like the pope is a christain religious leader, these men are islamic religious leaders.
 
From the CNN report

¨Child marriage is not unusual, said Christoph Wilcke, a Saudi Arabian researcher for the international group Human Rights Watch, after the initial verdict.

"We've been hearing about these types of cases once every four or five months because the Saudi public is now able to express this kind of anger, especially so when girls are traded off to older men,"
Seems to me That it´s Saudi people bringing this terrible custom to light and demanding Change
The Ministry of Justice and other government departments are also preparing regulations to prevent the marriage of girls under the age of 14.
Saudi Gazette - Move to ban underage marriages

Some states in America still allow marriage at 14 :shock:

West Virginia: 18, 16 with parental consent, under 16 (unspecified limit) with parental and judicial consent
Pennsylvania: 18, 16 with Birth Certificate and written consent of parent or guardian, under 16 with parental consent and under 14 with the approval of a Judge of the Orphans Court.
Ohio: 18 for males, 16 for females, less with parental consent.
New York: 18, 16 with parental consent, 14 with parental and judicial consent.
New Hampshire: 18, 14 for males and 13 for females, in cases of "special cause" with parental consent and court permission.

Does the Convention on the Rights of the Child preclude child marriage? The text of the document does not explicitly mention marriage.

If are you referring to another international treaty, please specify.

There is a big difference in a prepubescent girl of 8 and a 14 year old. 14 is way to young to get married IMO. But this guy is 47 she is 8, please tell me that you agree that this is just plain wrong.
