What in the fuck?

The marriage of an 11-year-old Muslim girl to a 41-year-old man has been ruled illegal in Malaysia.

An Islamic court judge found the father of the child had had no intention of marrying her off, and that there were elements of threat and force involved.

Muslim girls in Malaysia under the age of 16 are allowed to get married with the permission of the Islamic court.

The case prompted women's rights groups to call on the government to increase the minimum age of marriage to 18.

The 41-year-old Muslim man took the 11-year-old girl as his fourth wife in February.

The judge ruled that the union was illegal, not because of the age of the child, but because the couple did not follow Islamic law.

One organisation, Sisters in Islam, says child marriages continue in Malaysia because of a belief that Muslim girls can be married off once they reach puberty.

Earlier this month, a 14-year-old girl married a 23-year-old teacher in a public ceremony in Kuala Lumpur.


Can someone explain to me what the significance of marrying a girl once they reach puberty is in muslim religion? In instances like this, does the man actually have sex with the girl???

I would've guessed this happening in Indonesia before Malaysia....

And you and I both know what happens as soon as they are married.

Who knew -- Pedobear is muslim!

Sounds about right, the good news for christians is their priests get to do this and they don't even be tied down by marriage. The pope will argue that the 1970's is to blame. Go religion!

:werd: but theres this huge problem in M'sia and i've seen it first hand, these old ass 40-50 y/o men romanticizing these young girls with promises of money and always giving gifts (these chicks are usually poor as fk) and its not shunned at all which is fked up, i mean it's just normal cause they're muslims, but its only a few with the multiple young wives, i'd say like 15% of the population maybe i think.

If they have been marrying girls off at the age of 11 to men twice their age and senior for god knows how long then, i really dont think the term pedophilia matters to them that much.

I think it has a lot less to do with religion and a lot more to do with socioeconomic conditions. Guaranteed if NA was under these conditions you would have just as many inappropriate weddings occurring (regardless of religion/lack there of).

google the definition of socioeconomic

involving social as well as economic factors; "socioeconomic status"
wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn


So religion, education and general retardation, including historical and psychological retardation (=social) + poor/wealth (=economic) = their socioeconomic status.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

So if you're poor, uneducated and you're retarded, and you're religious, and in the past was ok to nail children, it becomes ok to nail a child now. K, got it.

Still don't make it right. (and that's what we've been communicating. Yes their history and conditions which affect the formation of their social norms, mores and values make it "ok" to them, but in the broader scope of applying what can be considered modern Western values, it's retarded and wrong. Is this explanation really required? Apparently so)

wow, this is why I absolutely hate beyond, the general show of ignorance. I can't even begin to unravel the knot you've tied yourself in.

I don't think you really understand what is going on. Practicing Islam does not mean you condone child marriage, this interpretation of the teachings in the Qu'ran is based on twisted interpretations of its message which are only able to take hold in certain socioeconomic conditions.


Edit: I should also say, no I don't agree with this (that is not what i'm trying to say), but people shouldn't be so ignorant as to single out religion as the underlying cause...

Some guy said it was caused by religion, I said no its due to socioeconomic conditions, you said some bs about vietnam being poorer. Which is why I emphasized the socio part. Then you looked up the definition and made some ridiculous claim that if you were "poor, retarded and religious" then this act would be ok.

I only took the stance of defending islam because you used religion as one of your prime factors for this occurring, which it is NOT.

No religion that I know of promotes child marriage. In fact Islam specifically prohibits females who are not yet fit for sexual intercourse and/or mature enough from getting wed.

Things like this, as I will explain again because it was obviously not clear, only occur when socioeconomic conditions allow these level of morals (or lack there of) to take hold

You're saying it's not religious, you're trying to make it sound like it's not cultural by saying it's socio-economic when it's arguable that socio-economics is a large part of culture.

It's not part of North American muslim culture, because they agree with our laws and moral compass that the behaviour is illegal. Islam doesn't need defending here, the culture of the region he's in, including it's interpretation of islamic literature is what is being held to scrutiny.

Actually... in the article it does say "Muslim girls in Malaysia under the age of 16 are allowed to get married with the permission of the Islamic court." and "One organisation, Sisters in Islam, says child marriages continue in Malaysia because of a belief that Muslim girls can be married off once they reach puberty."

The article clearly states it condones underage marriage if gone through the proper channels and permission is achieved. It also sounds like they do promote underage marriage with the sentence "...because of a belief that muslim girls can be married off once they reach puberty."

Am i not right?

Regardless...if the 41 yr old was granted permission by the girls parents, the islamic court would accept this.

not if it went against the girls wishes, the Qu ran also states that a woman/girl can not be married if she does not consent (even if parents have pre arranged the wedding), and the woman has every right to annul their marriage if it was determined to be without her consent. They would also have to judge in an "islamic court" whether the girl had matured mentally to the point at which she could give her own consent.

again as some seem to be confused (CUG wake up guy), I am NOT supporting this activity. And I don't think anyone in their right mind could say an 11 y/o has sexually matured, thus this type of activity is not supported by Islam

and as I will state again because some people refuse to read. I was responding to a comment regarding someone saying that Islam was the reason this was able to happen, which is an absolutely ridiculous claim

Stats like that are only comparatively valid if 100% cases of molestation are reported and documented, 100% of those reports are true, and the countries report the statistics honestly & accurately.

This never happens.

"Muslim girls in Malaysia under the age of 16 are allowed to get married with the permission of the Islamic court."

"One organisation, Sisters in Islam, says child marriages continue in Malaysia because of a belief that Muslim girls can be married off once they reach puberty."If it could be determined that the girl had hit puberty (and children are reaching puberty earlier these days), then she would - under Islamic belief - be allowed by the courts to marry the old guy. Ergo, this sort of activity would most certainly be supported by Islam.

Do those stat's relay what religion said molesters were?

I believe those stats can't really be brought into the equation when a 41 year old banging a 11 year old is not considered molestation in another country and is instead seen as the norm.

Nnnnope, didn't say that either, aaaand you're lying. If I don't believe Christian religions cause pedo-priests to do what they do, I can't fairly say that Islamic religions cause pedo-41 year olds to do what they do, even if their religious courts may allow for those behaviours.

So in those stats it said everyone that was a molester was atheist? Or that they were all Christians?

I googled molestation stats and could not find a reputable source for those numbers but I easily could have missed something. If so that is an alarming number.

Quoted as "Most imaginary Statistic of 2010!"

This particular statement defies common sense simply because the largest population base in the world (China) doesn't report that statistic. Not to even mention all the 3rd world countries where none of this type of crime would go reported in any way/shape/form.

So, really, quit blowing smoke out your ass.

Sorry dude, that is flat out false. There are countless statistics to back-up the fact that crime, child molestation and education level are all directly linked to religious beliefs (christian/muslim etc).

I have posted the stats many times on here.

The safest, best educated countries in the world have the smallest religious base. That is a fact.

EDIT: I know someone is going to ask so I will post it - I am simply posting reputable statistics, I will leave it to the reader to discern the results. I have stated this before but I am NOT an atheist, just a skeptic.


http://www.gadling.com/2007/08/23/least-religious-countries/


"The survey concluded that "high levels of organic atheism are strongly correlated with high levels of societal health, such as low homicide rates, low poverty rates, low infant mortality rates, and low illiteracy rates, as well as high levels of educational attainment, per capita income, and gender equality. Most nations characterized by high degrees of individual and societal security have the highest rates of organic atheism, and conversely, nations characterized by low degrees of individual and societal security have the lowest rates of organic atheism. In some societies, particularly Europe, atheism is growing. However, throughout much of the world -- particularly nations with high birth rates -- atheism is barely discernable."

I think the question here is which is the correlation of the other? IE do people turn to faith less for fulfillment and support when their quality of life is higher? Or when they turn away from faith does their quality of life raise?

I think education is the cause, freedom from religion and crime are the effect.

The ability to question things in general are encouraged in an educated society.

Nah, I think now that Atheists have safely collected the morals put forth by the different religious doctrines, they're now claiming it's a result of logic and observation. Yes, you're observing established morals at play and using them for your own. Silly
Syeve. We only have 6 more days of this, then it's on with my NY resolution.

You could call that moral evolution I suppose. Problem?

And I ain't no atheist.

Nah, I think that religion emerged after morality and expanded on evolutionary altruism by adding supernatural agents, and claiming that morality was created by them. Yah, nope.

So before Christian God was invented....I mean "came out from hiding" well into recorded human history, the morals that most civilizations adhered to were a lucky guess of what was to come? Or did god dress up as Zeus to tell the Greeks how they should live their lives in a manner that very closely resembles the morals we have today (and have had throughout most of human history)?

You forgot:

- idiots get up in arms because they don't think muslims should be talked about, because talking about them at at ALL is somehow racist, nevermind pointing out that while the Catholic community may have some pedo priests, the large part of the Muslim community and leadership is full of pedophiles.

Sorry, clowns who think a group of people shouldn't be talked about - are fucking stupid. Don't be fucking stupid.
