Child bride in Yemen dies of internal bleeding on wedding night: activist
Religion of peace. Religion of science. These are epithets we hear about Islam from Muslims all the time. And then we see stories like this, which make us realize that these aren't the case. And it's not just science which says something like this is just ignorant. Common sense does too.
So why do Muslims practice this? Do they not know that a child's body is not mature enough to handle this? Nor are their minds developed enough for this. It's just plain ignorant to think that a child is ready for marriage, and all the things that go along with it. Do Muslims not know that science has already determined that things like this are a bad idea?
Peace to all.
The above is the OP.
I quote my 8 pointer.
Firstly
Islam does not allow marriage to under aged children.
Second
Islam does not permit forced marriages for anyone.
Third
All marriages must be by mutual consent.The bride must be represented by an male adult at the time of the ceremony and there must be 2 withness present at the time when she gives her consent.
Fourth
The marriage is legal hence it must be a written contract with witnesses.
Fifth
A dowry must be given by men(bridegroom) to women(bride).
Sixth
Marriage proposals can be offered by parents on behalf of their children, or through second parties selected by individuals, or can be made directly by individuals. But there is nothing binding without full acceptance of both people.
Seventh
there can be no coercion nor force nor intimidation to obtain compliance in marriage. Women must not be subjected to oppression nor deprived of their wealth (dowry)in any way.
Eight
In Islam men must financially provide for all the needs of the woman and family, while the woman is not obliged to give even one cent for the man or the family.
In addressing the OP.
Firstly Islam is a religion of peace weather you can stomach it or not is your problem.Islam as a religion of science is not a true statement.This is the first attack on the religion of peace.The scientific verses that was revealed is mearly signs that it is the word of God.
Secondly the OP has found the man guilty (because he is muslim) before he was charged.It destroys the Western principle that a man is innocent until proven guilty again its a muslim so its ok.
Now lets study the OP to my 8 pointer.
Point 1.
Being an 8 year old does not make the man guilty.The question is did the girl have her menses or not.If she did not have her menses then the man and her parents should be charged.
Point 2.
Was the 8 year old forced into the marriage? If so then both man and parents are guily of crime.
Point 3.
Did the female give consent.If not then man,bride parents and withness are all guilty of crime.
Point 4.
If there was no written contract then the marriage was illegal.
Point 5.
was the dowry given? Note the dowry is not for the bride parents but beling to the bride herself.
Point 6.
Did both parties consent to the marriage.
Point 7.
Was there any intimidation or force?If there was there the marriage is illegal.
Point 8.
Well the rule does not apply because they were newly weds.
Now its pretty obvious from this forum that the majority of members are anti-Islam.They have found an opportunity to find the man quilty and used this as a tool to tarnish Islam and my beloved Prophet (PBBUH).Shame upon you.
