Courts to decide if 8-year-old will get divorced

nojoud-mohammed-nasser.jpg While many children worldwide are preparing for their new school year, a child in Saudi Arabia is caught up in legal ramblings around a decision that only the courts there can make on whether or not she can be granted a divorce.

In a country that has one of the top child marriage rates on the Arabian peninsula, 8 year old, Unayzah was given in marriage by her father to a much older man. The marriage was arranged and carried out in high secrecy; and neither the child herself nor her mother were aware of the arrangements.

Unayzah’s mother filed for the divorce, but her new son-in-law is adamant that he is legally married and has broken no laws.

Child marriages are not exclusive to Saudi Arabia, but are prevalent in many parts of Africa and South-East Asia.

Oliver,
Just becuase marrying little girls is common in Islam that don't make it right. 8 year old girls should not be getting married. It sound like rape to me.

Please speak of what you know marrying little girls is not common in Islam. It may be common out in country the east such as Saudi Arabia also in Africa and alot of Eruopean countries that don't practice Islam. I knew a few Rasta that had under age women does it mean its common in the Rasta religion. Even in the U.S you have Christian taking minors as their wives but I don't hear or see anything hear about it.

marrying little girls is child abuse,little girls are supposed to be enjoying their childhoods and not take care of an old man's needs let alone be involved in a gruesome divorce!

Oliver
Ok so its common to the Islamic faith but you suppose to see why that s**t looks wrong to everybody else. you dont marry no 8 year old. what the f**k she suppose to do cook, clean, etc..
She's only 8. you know what Oliver why dont you give up your 8 year old if/when you got one and tell me what you think about that. Its fu****g pedophilic. And I make sure i wrote standard English cause you can't be no where from the Caribbean esp. Jamaica and say some like that. I agree with fyah and a fyah for that person

It's totally out of order what the father did, he deceived both the mother and his own child, which is wrong. I can help to think, but he must of recieved some remubisment for marrying off his child in the form of money. It should be band I dont believe any one should get married a such a young age.

These guys in these country will hang you or chop your head off in public for stealing a bunch of bananas but they sit and debate whether a 8 yrs girl should be married to a grand father of a man or any man for that matter until a rightful age 18yrs universal. These guys are hypocrites with their religion and shit, just like the christians who molest the kid for centuries, people religion is a failure, the only religion is common sense and good conscience.

They also did not mention that the girl wanted a divorce b/c the husband have been raping and beating her since they got married and that the girl had to pay a fine to the husband b/c she filed for the divorce and she also sat outside the court house begging for a judge to take her case b/c none of them would. This was on cnn, they interviewed the girl.

someone really needs to cut his d*&k off...i am so against child marriages. children sre suppose to live wild and free. an eight year old married to a grown man is insane. i am so happy for the country i live i even though we complain, it is things like this why i have to give thanks and accept the basic problems that faces me.


Posted by: Nicola Jane Findley on August 27, 2008 04:41 PM

I AGREE..., WHO REALLY WOULD WANT TO BRING A CHILD INTO A WORLD LIKE THIS.... THIS IS HELL WE LIVE IN... I HOPE HEAVEN IS WHERE WE REALLY DO GO TOO WHEN WE PASS.

The father of that Child should be stones to death! Heartless man

OLIVER i think u need to read back ur statment, cause to me it seems like ur saying that it's alright because it's part of their religion... I don't think ur so stupid and perverted to think that... A eight year old is CHILD.. there is nothing she can do for a man and it's a sin for her to have been arranged to be married... BOTH father and husband need to have their dicks and heads chopped off!

Marrying children is NOT common, it was hundreds of years ago but not in this day and age. It's not got anything to do with Islam, just to do with di sick people who want to marry a child to an old man.
