Sickening.

Marrying children. What is WRONG with some cultures for christ’s sake??!!

(The religious reference is deliberate).

I read lots of criticism, here and elsewhere, of my (Western) culture, but, despite it’s faults, at least legalised pedophilia is not one of them.

Disgusting, depraved, and all in the name of......

Words fail me.

Hi, MIchael,thanks for the visit.It is the act of the depraved and some cultures permit it because the powerful have vested interest in continuing such practises.

Both parents and the so-called mature person who married her should be thrown in jail for a very very long time.

Wa’d, what is the use, there might be many more, to change the mindset is an uphill task may be awarding such acts of defiance by the young girl give courage to others

you do have a point here Veena, but starting to take legal action against such people could be a start to end such CRIMINAL acts...

I honestly cannot believe how a grown man can think of an 8-year-old as a wife... this is sick...

thanks for the article anyway, its good to know that something like this is actually happening in our world...

Peace

Hi!!

you’re right Veena, jail won’t stop it all, and the courage of individual children IS an example to other children, but Wa’d is right too.

The use of legal punishment of this perversion would show to the young girls concerned that they are not fighting alone.

They need all the legal and moral help and encouragement possible to help them take the plunge and take on the system.

Because then they will at least know that the law will help them.

They are children. They need ALL our help.

Seeya!!
