Why Do We Keep Giving Them Money?

From the grand Elder over at EOZ comes another sad, sick, demented and... and expected story of pre-teen girls being sold, abused and traded off to 70-year old child perverts and molesters.

The controversial divorce case of two minor girls trapped in “an invalid trade-off marriage” to two septuagenarian men goes to court here on Saturday.

The mothers of the two girls, Shaikha 16, and Abeer 11, have filed for divorce on the grounds that the minors were forced into illegal wedlock and were victims of domestic violence.

The case has sparked widespread debate in Saudi society with religious scholars expressing their views as well.

Renowned Saudi scholar Sheikh Abudlmohsin Al-Obaikan has opined that the girls should be granted divorce and the two men severely punished for allegedly trading off the girls in an “exchange marriage” of their daughters without any dowry or wedding ceremony.

After signing the marriage contract, the two couples went to Taif for the honeymoon. There, Shaikha tried to commit suicide to escape marriage to a 75-year-old man and was admitted to King Faisal Hospital in the city.


The only thing wrong seen by the "religious" people is that there was no dowry or wedding ceremony. They don't condemn it as a perversion or molestation. While others have no problem with it whatsoever.

You can determine a country's love of GOD and ability to be friends by its treatment of its own people. EOZ puts it just right: "women seem to be treated about as well as cattle, and not as well as camels."
