The British child brides: Muslim mosque leaders agree to marry girl of 12... so long as parents don't tell British Muslim mosque leaders are agreeing to carry out secret marriages with child brides as young as 12 in the UK, it emerged today. In an undercover investigation, a Shi'te mosque leader agreed to marry a 12-year-old girl so long as she was a willing participant. A Sunday Times journalist visited the Husaini Islamic Centre in Peterborough - the 'first Shi'te mosque in the whole of Europe' - posing as the father of a 12-year-old girl. Secret marriages: Some Muslim religious leaders consent to marry a girl of 12 if she consents - and her parents keep it a secret (stock image) Child bride: An Imam at the Husaini Islamic Centre in Peterborough agreed to the marriage of a 12-year-old girl - but only if she consented to the nuptials According to the newspaper, the reporter was told by Imam Mohamed Kassamali that 'under sharia [Islamic law] there is no problem' in marrying a 12-year-old. But while he declared Islamic Law dictated a girl should see 'her first sign of puberty at the house of her husband', he admitted they would all get in to trouble if she went to police saying she was forced into the marriage. ****S SHOULD HAVE THEIR DICKS CUT OFF
Sorry. The UK does not tolerate this. We have laws and if you cannot abide by them I think you should look elsewhere. Thank you for your interset but unfortunately there is nothing for you here. Have you tried Afghanistan, or, say, Pakistan. Please make further enquiries. Don;t slam the door on your way out. x
I think the Muslims should be allowed to carry on their religion over here, but if they want to live on our country, they have to abide by our rules, or **** off back to whatever country they came from. I'm tolerant, and not judgmental, but IMO, if you're coming into this country/nation, if you don't abide by our laws, then you can **** off.
I personally don't even think that's acceptable. I understand different countries will have different laws, but there's a point where we need to step in, and if a country isn't going to evolve, we should invade! Little girls getting married to old perverted twats that rape them! Plus women get stoned to death for getting raped! If a woman gets raped, quite often it's classed as her fault! ****ing disgrace. We need to take action and save the innocent.
Really? wow, I didn't expect a country as developed as Spain to have a consent age that low. But to be honest, 13 isn't what I was thinking about. I'm talking about girls/boys that are abused far below their puberty years. When you hear of 13-15 year old girls having sex with an older man, and then the man getting arrested, I kinda of don't seem that disgusted. But when you hear of 7-11 year old girls being forced into marriages to old men, it's kind of disgusting. There's a point where you have to say there's no way that this girl/boy is physically and mentally prepared for sex,
Its a matter of internal politics. If thats what the Spanish government decide it should be. There isnt a lot anyone can do
Muslims do themselves no favours when they allow these dark age practices to take place under the banner of Islam along with stoning, honour killings, organised rape and sale of young girls! God is good? as they say.
Shocking. I think 16 is about right but its a bit of a grey area when two kids of similar age say 15 get down to it. But when you hear of children being married to grown men in these cultures its sickening.
Unfortunately, it will be long after we die before humanity grows out of this ****. I personally don't want religion to totally die out, because there are a lot of unintelligent people who rely on religion for guidance, and without their religious rules, they could very possibly, with their low level of intelligence, do something very bad. I hope humanity eventually grows up and gets smart enough to realise religion is nothing but bullshit, but I personally wouldn't wish it gone yet.
I personally think age is just a number. A 13 year old can be smarter, and more mature than a 20 year old, but we need to draw the line somewhere. I think 16 is exactly the right age.
I personally think the age of consnet should be tied to other things. Like, voting, driving, drinking etc. It seems a bit silly to have it as a thing all on its own.
I think the age of consent should be raised to 46 for certain members of our community such as chavs the welsh and mags ;-) only joking the Welsh aren't all bad
