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!

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.

Glad they found the integrity of the marriage questionable because of the force elements, nevermind the fact that the 41 year old pedophile muslim man was having sex with an 11 year old....

You must be sure that the girl is pure for the Funky Cold Medina.

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.

What if it wasn't a sexually based marriage?

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).

Vietnam's pretty poor (equivalent to Malaysia if not worse) -- I can ask my uncle if it's ok to bone kids there if you like?

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...
