Muslim, 70, Marries 15-Year-Old he Bought For $20,000

[Jeebus]

Prominent Egyptian activist Mona Eltahawy tweeted, "It's only when there's enough public outrage that we can fight #childmarriage. We are not angry enough to help that 15 y/o & others like her."

(psst - but I'm wrong for highlighting the torture and misogyny of Islam )

CNN interviewed the man Tuesday, who said he paid a dowry to the girl's parents for the equivalent of $20,000. The marriage came to light when the man complained to a local official after his new wife left him, saying the girl's family had taken her back and he'd been ripped off. He also claimed that he thought she was 25 years old.

Dr. Suhaila Zein al-Abedin of the Saudi National Association for Human Rights -- also a government-backed group -- voiced concern not only about the age difference, but the circumstances of the marriage.

"When you consider the very large difference in age, it looks more like this was not a marriage, but like the girl was sold," al-Abedin said. "The girl's parents need to be held responsible for this.

Hillbillies here in USA do the same. LDS did it for years before any action was taken and probably still practicing it.

And Mohammed raped a 9 year old child.

Your point? Besides the obvious Red Herring

A Red Herring is a fallacy in which an irrelevant topic is presented in order to divert attention from the original issue. The basic idea is to "win" an argument by leading attention away from the argument and to another topic. This sort of "reasoning" has the following form:

Topic A is under discussion.
Topic B is introduced under the guise of being relevant to topic A (when topic B is actually not relevant to topic A).
Topic A is abandoned.

This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because merely changing the topic of discussion hardly counts as an argument against a claim.

Keep your panties on. I touched a nerve.

Not at all, I neither defend hillbillies or Mormons.

Just curious as to why you wouldn't condemn the actions of the Muslim slave buyer, but instead attempted to justify and endorse his actions by bringing up irrelevant information?

Here we go again.....

Yes, it's a tragedy, I agree.

Maybe you can start a thread about it and provide some links. I know thirteen year old girls and fourteen year old boys can get married in New Hampshire (with parental and court permission).

But rather than condemn the actions of the 70 year old Muslim slave buyer, you instead chose to justify his actions by comparing them.

Of course.

I am not going to say it is right but the US should not be telling other countries how they are supposed to live. Let the Saudi government handle it. We have enough of our own problems to fix.

I tend to agree with you.

CNN interviewed the man Tuesday, who said he paid a dowry to the girl's parents for the equivalent of $20,000. The marriage came to light when the man complained to a local official after his new wife left him, saying the girl's family had taken her back and he'd been ripped off. He also claimed that he thought she was 25 years old.

In Saudi Arabia, there is no law that stipulates a minimum age for marriage.

Human rights workers say they believe there was a fight between the teen and the man, and she ran back to her family.

Actually I would like to know your point?
Is there something that we as Americans are supposed to do about this?

Please advise........

Psstt... Mona Eltahawy is one of your hatred Muslims, so ascribing this to Islam in general is dumb.

Amen!!!!

Mona Eltahawy is about as much of a Muslim as the squid is the Pope. The delusions of the 'self-described' apostate crowd are boundless and transgress beyond all belief.
