lulz man. rep for you.

Its pretty sick marrying an 8 year old. I hope they jail/jailed the guy. i'm hoping he didnt have sex with her. Did he? (sorry didnt read the entire article)

I also want to know how does a Portugese guy stumble across the Yemen Times. Thats 6 degrees from Kevin Bacon if i've ever seen it.

[hellheaven1987]

He did, and probably SM her...

[Heinz Guderian]

Again prove of how stupid and backwards Islam really is...

This was perpretated by an indecent father and another indecent man. If a Catholic priest touches up a boy, does it prove how stupid and backwards Catholicism is? Come on man, you're better than this

He did, and probably SM her...

Then he broke Yemeni law and should go to jail and meet an aggressive guy with a big khram.

Indeed even tho he has the "she is my wife and thus my property" attitude which once again just shows that an enlightment in the middle-east is needed if they ever wanna become more then they are as a society.

You rep him for a stupid post?

I read,many news Arab news papers.

And as we don't have much Arabian population here,the TVs don't have any problem in giving this kind of news.
The government,or the "political correct" don't rule in the news ,yet.

This kind of new is to good for British TVs or papers, even for Daily Mail?Or in the Sun? Between two bobbies?

Sorry men but Portugal don´t have a large arab population since the
12 century.

And most of the community live in Lisboa and Porto.

[edit] Expulsion of the Muslims and Jews
Main article: Alhambra decree
For Old Arabs, the unity of race prevailed over the difference of creed and added another discriminatory system among Muslims supremacy over Christians and Jews. In addition to discriminatory laws as stated by the Code Of Umar, ghettos grouping respectively Christians and Jews were the regular rule of cohabitations of the communities which members also have a distinctive cloth or badge, yellow for the Jews (yellow badge), blue for the Christians.

The last rules of ethnic and religious purity of the Modern Age were the Spanish cleanliness of blood and the expulsion of Jews by Manuel I in Portugal.

Most Muslims and Jews were forced to either convert to Christianity or leave Spain and Portugal and have their assets seized. Many Muslims and Jews moved to North Africa rather than submit to forced conversion. During the Islamic administration, Christians and Jews were allowed to convert or retain their religions with many reduced rights and a tax, which if not paid the penalty was death, although during the time of the Almoravids and especially the Almohads they were also treated badly, in contrast to the policies of the earlier Umayyad rulers.

The new Christian hierarchy, on the other hand, demanded heavy taxes and gave them nominal rights, but only in heavily Islamic regions, such as Granada, until their own power was sufficient, and the influence of the Inquisition strong enough, to make further expulsion both possible and economically feasible. In 1496, under Archbishop Hernando de Talavera, even the Muslim population of Granada was forced to accept Christianity. In 1502, the king and queen declared submission to Catholicism officially compulsory in Castilian domains. Emperor Charles V did the same for the Kingdom of Aragon in 1526.[3] These policies were not only officially religious in nature but also effectively seized the wealth of the vanquished.

Most of the descendants of those Muslims and Jews who submitted to compulsory conversion to Christianity rather than exile during the early periods of the Inquisition, the Moriscos and Conversos respectively, were later expelled from Spain and Portugal when the Inquisition was at its height. The expulsion was carried out more severely in Eastern Spain (Valencia and Aragon), due to local animosity towards Muslims and Moriscos — mainly for economic reasons.

Because some Muslims, and Jews, shared common ancestors with Christians, it was difficult to expel all of those with non-Christian ancestors from Iberia. However the Spanish state had success in expelling the "Moriscos". Those descended from practicing Muslims or Jews at the time of the Reconquista, however, were for a long time suspected of various crimes including practicing Islam or Judaism, or crimes against the Spanish state and finally expelled from peninsula.

Amazing history lesson for those presumptuous Britons.

This post is about a child,and they say silly things as always do.

In Islam, there is only one rule related to age, which is that both the man and woman must give informed legal consent.
So, the minimum age for marriage is decided only by the local laws, beyond the minimal requirement of both partners having a fine grasp of speaking. That could mean six year olds being married, if the local government accepts agreements made by six year olds as informed legal consent...

In Portugal, I'm very sure the laws are not based on Yemeni tribal society, therefor the marriage would be invalid according to the Quran.
However, Yemen seems to be heavily influenced by tribal society, and 8 year olds can give legal consent there, so its entirely legal according to the Quran.

Islam does not advocate marriages to children, but its rules on the subject are minimal.

It is already, but not compulsory.

Mmm...Although I work in Geneva, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. Still I think this move could change the future of Switzerland. But globalisation is inevitable.Or is it not?

this really bothers me, that anyone could do this, but it does say her father is plainly crazy, but the fact that they did respond to her, and arrest the two men, and at least removed her from that situation, does make me slightly happier, but her prospects are grim there.

Except I'm pretty sure that this is infact another cultural relic.
I'm sure that if you look at some christian african countries you will see the same things.
It's like female circumsion, Burka's(and the other things that is similar) etc cultural relics that people tried to bind to Islam but failed.
Just shows that these countries needs a form of enlightment.
