it is frightening to westerners that the marriage of children is allowed
in saudi recently a judge upheld the marriage of an eight year old girl

we get told it is a tradition but some people are unable to differentiate between tradition and religion
It is not "frightening" to westerners, it is perverse.
This is not JUST a Saudi occurance. This is allowed by Islamic law should you choose it.
and 8 year old girl who is being molested by a 50 year old man does not give a shit if it is tradition or religion.
The thing is, I am hated on this forum for talking about it, vocalizing my disgust about, and pointing the finger at the religion that not only permits it, but encourages it as a right via their laws. Hard to imagine, anyone would post against me on this. Oh well.
