8 year old gets a divorce (no joke)

Court terminates 8-year-old girl's marriage | Oddly Enough | Reuters

"SANAA (Reuters) - A Yemeni court ordered the marriage of an eight-year-old girl terminated on Tuesday because she had not reached puberty.

The court also ordered the child's family to pay about $250 in compensation to the 30-year-old ex-husband.

The girl's lawyer and human rights activist Shatha Nasser said the minor had filed a suit in April asking for divorce and told the court that her husband had been physically abusing her and forcing her to have "sex with him after hitting her."

One of the people attending the trial volunteered to pay the compensation, the lawyer said, but did not explain the reason why the court ordered the compensation.

The ruling terminated the marriage instead of granting a divorce to prevent the husband from seeking to reinstate the marriage, according to the lawyer.

Many minor girls in Arab countries that observe tribal traditions are married to older husbands but not before puberty. Such marriages are also driven by poverty in countries like Yemen, one of the poorest countries outside Africa."

Ah sorry, they "terminated" the marriage. No "divorce"!

I dont know, it seems to be a common thing among many men in their 30's . Only here, they go to Thailand.

I can't even see how you can find something like that funny. Making jokes about an 8 year old who has been sexual abused (even if it is in a backward country) is clearly bang out of order.

What do you want me to do? Go over to third world countries and save each and every child?

Given I can do pretty much sweet fa about the situation then making jokes about it pretty much makes no difference. Every joke in the world (in fact pretty much anything posted on this forum ever) will offend someone somewhere. So unless you plan on never speaking or posting again you yourself are no better.

Quite a lot cultures have different things then our western "marry the one you loooove" thing.

True but even then they normally wait till a girl starts her periods.

Aye "Culture" I have to disagree with it.. anyone in the world regardless of culture tries to marry a girl of that age they're just sick.

No other way of putting it and no excuse for it.

That's true ofcourse, rying to sex up the wife isn't usually a good thing in those cultures either.

Some Chinese, Inuits, Indian, middle-eastern countries...list goes on i believe.

One could say that the western way of marriage is the minority.

 

[Huntingtons]

old Greece, pretty much the western civilisations crib had sex with guys and boys/girls at young ages and were pretty much liberal about it... yes its sick, but its culture as well

Just like your joke when jeremy beadle died?

Sorry, but welcome to the internet, people make jokes that might not fit with your sense of decency, and when you've made jokes that havent been in the best of taste in the past as well you're hardly in a position to flaim someone else who does it, are you?

Personally I don't think they are sick for marrying a girl of that age if it's their culture. At the end of the day a marriage is just a piece of paper. Everything else is based on your (western) perception of what that paper actually means.

Trying to poke her with your sausage is more debatable..

 

[prodical]

this is why there are many problems in the world. while you dont agree with it and i dont either how about we let these societies and cultures get on with it? forcing your views on them will never work. unless of course they have something we need...oil, gold, diamonds etc
