Senior-most-cleric says Islamic Sharia law allows preteen marriage

So, correct me if I am wrong, the only person here who does NOT have problem with 9-10 year old children being married to dirty old men is SAM?


Also, I am wondering, is it ever the case a 9-10 year old boy is married to an old woman?
 
Another thing I noticed. It seems only polygamists like Muslims and FLDS actually try to legalize marriage with children doesn't it? I mean, I never heard of a JW or a Catholic calling for preteen marriages... in the modern world.
 
Oh wait I remember now, wasn't there some crazy Dutch political party like that? I suppose the lesson is vigilance. If that party is gone, then it shows that the Dutch were able to mobilize the general public against such sort of crap, whereas if those people had been the religious establishment, well, it's have been a hell of a lot harder to do so - as sheeple normally follow their Shepard regardless.
 
This is hardly news. it has been this way since before Islam. What about it?

You can marry as young as 12 in the US. Younger if a judge oks it.

Yippee someone who does not live a sheltered life!
 
Wow you can? Where was a 12 yr old married in the states?

State-by-state marriage age laws: http://www.coolnurse.com/marriage_laws.htm

The overall trend is that you need the permission of all parents involved to get married if you are 15-17. Under 15 a lot of states require a judge's permission or a court order.

It looks like there are several states that only require the parents' permission with no lower age limit set. However, I think it would be hard to find 4 Americans all in the same place that are as ignorant and sick as the leader of the Muslim faith.

Well, perhaps in Utah...

Thanks for those links.. and the ages seem mostly fine. Im still trying to find the 12 yr old that married that swarm was talking about.
 

Yeah, they don't set a minimum age, but you need a court order if you are under 16.

Can you give us an example where one of these marriages took place in the United States outside of our own kooky religions?

I know the Mormons are fond of legalized pedophilia, but our government isn't. They actually took the religion to task for their sick fantasies and forced them to change. I don't see any Middle Eastern governments rushing to the defense of the poor girls your religious leaders are urging others to molest and rape.

Is your ethical subjectivism real, or are you just trying to get a rise out of people?

Not at all, I just find it strange that people get so excited over stuff that is for the society to decide arbitrarily. I was twelve once too and I think it should be up to the girl to decide what she wants. Why all this parental and social interference in sex? Why is it such a big deal?
 
You can't make an informed decision about the rest of your life at that age. It's the same reason there are no Muslim or Christian children.
 
Sounds like the Ayatollah would be popular in the west. What with NAMBLA, rampant pedophilia (americans make up 25% of child sex tourists) and not to mention bestial porn, one may even consider the Ayatollah a man ahead of his time

Thats only because its not legal to in the United States. Unlike your little "country"

No your wrong, the minimum age is 12 with parental consent so long as you marry someone in your age group.
