8yr old Yemeni childbride dies of internal injuries after sex with 40yr old groom

An eight-year-old child bride has died in Yemen of internal bleeding sustained during her wedding night after being forced to marry a man five times her age, activists have claimed. 

The girl, identified only as Rawan, died in the tribal area of Hardh in northwestern Yemen, which borders Saudi Arabia. Activists are now calling for the groom, who is believed to be around 40 years old, and her family to be arrested so they can face justice in the courts.

 
They say arrests would help put a stop to the practice of marrying very young girls to older men in the impoverished region.
Angry Man, a blogger, posted that the man was 'an animal who deserved to be punished severely for his crime'.
'All those who supported such a crime should also be punished,' he added.

Another blogger, called Omar, wrote: 'Rawan’s family members are not humans. They do not deserve to have children.'
But another blogger, called 'Sad', appeared more sympathetic to the custom. He wrote: 'Her family and her groom could have waited for some time before having this marriage,' Sad said. 'It was not fair at all and the marriage should not have happened even if some tribes believe that it is a good custom.'

The practice of marrying young girls is widespread in Yemen and has attracted the attention of international rights groups seeking to pressure the government to outlaw child marriages.

Yemen's gripping poverty plays a role in hindering efforts to stamp out the practice, as poor families find themselves unable to say no to 'bride-prices' that can be hundreds of dollars for their daughters.
More than a quarter of Yemen's females marry before age 15, according to a report in 2010 by the Social Affairs Ministry.

Tribal custom also plays a role, including the belief that a young bride can be shaped into an obedient wife, bear more children and be kept away from temptation.
In September 2010, a 12-year-old Yemeni child-bride died after struggling for three days in labour to give birth, a local human rights organisation said.

Yemen once set 15 as the minimum age for marriage, but parliament annulled that law in the 1990s, saying parents should decide when a daughter marries.

This is wrong on different levels. All those that are in support of child marriage are mostly men, who have had been allowed a childhood. Childhood and associated innocence is a gift from God. Why, for the love of everything holy, would anyone think it is right to steal another persons childhood. Taking a child's right to happy childhood is Wicked. There is no religion on earth that can support that unless it is demonic. Mixing of old dying blood into the fresh young body of a child. The perfect punishment for a peodophile is to allow them be fucked in the ass by gorrilaes. Every day till they die slowly of it.

And the tears keep rolling, my heart sincerely bleeding for female-born children across the world who suffer the highest inhumanity that can ever befall a living being.....
Once a woman is defiled/violated in such an evil manner her soul dies in the wind and never returns, she lives ever incomplete in overwhelming fear and deep pains.

And then the only group(govt) we place our trust in,comfortably presents the possibility of accepting such demonic acts on our present&unborn children...

#what feelings should replace the HOPE we always need to feel? when would we become selfless enough to create a right path for the unborn? why do we sleep @night praying for a better tomorrow we OBVIOUSLY cant fight for?

....May the souls of all young violated girls rest in Peace...Amen

Right tunnde A. And people would show the same outrage if the Christian rapist come out and request for raping young girls to be legalised and maybe look for some obscure quote from the bible to support their request. In addition to that , the Christian rapist could then request for a clause in the law that allows raping of small children every Sunday after church legal. Then a blog would write about it and some idiots would support it. Do you understand Tunde dear or does someone really need to explain this idiot prove logic to you again. Fucktard

The age of marriage in Islam is ambigious. It is left to the discretion of people. Unfortunately, some idiots see it as a loophole and would use it to support their peadophilia tendencies. In this age of good nutrition based on the ambiguity of marital age in Islam an 8,9 yr old who has started to show signs of puberty, can repeat script in religious text. Such a person is of marriageable age. So yes Islam in a twisted way does support child marriage. Me thinks the way forward is to remove the power to decide on marriageable age from irresponsible people. The law should decide based on social well being of these children.

It is obvious to me that these old men are intimidated by fully grown females. They would rather seek out little kids to frighten with their substandard male organs. You see if they dare show their mangled organs to a full grown woman she will just laugh her head off and even have an orgasm. That is why they feel confident to attack small children with that idiot thing they have between their legs.

Blogger @ 533. Please share your intelligence with Yerima, becos he believes Islam supports his right to fuck children. Unless in Islam 14 is not a child because of breast tissue.
