Another case of CHILDBRIDE? Muslim leader oversees wedding of 12-year-old

.

The muslims meticulously want to take after their great Prophet Mohammed when the grey-haired men seek for fresh blood under-aged girls for marriage. I am not a muslim so I cannot blame them for being a faithful disciple of their master, but  As much as this is a religious practice, it has been outlawed in 90% of the muslim countries. Now what an irony. Good development though.

 It is indeed quite a shameful thing that Nigeria, an albeit "christian" country will endorse a practice that has been outlawed even in truly muslim nations! Now here is a case of such child-bride issue in another african country. Enjoy.

A Muslim leader was charged to court on Tuesday after he presided over the illegal marriage of a 12-year-old girl to a 26-year-old student visiting Australia from Lebanon. The sham marriage was performed at the home of her father, who
converted to Islam 18 years ago.

The 35-year-old religious leader was charged with conducting an unauthorised marriage. The Lebanese student was charged last week with 25 counts of sexual intercourse with a child. New South Wales state premier, Barry O’Farrell, said he was delighted charges had been filed, saying the outcome sent a strong message, whether to religious celebrants or civil celebrants.

The father told Sydney’s Daily Telegraph that under his interpretation of the Koran the only way the pair could be in the same room unchaperoned was if they were married. He also said that he did not want to stop “her happiness”. The illegal marriage came to light when the 26-year-old tried to enroll the girl at a school near where they were living together in Sydney.(dpa/NAN)

Our Senators and Honorable Reps members should learn to channel their energy into discussing something that actually benefits the general citizens and not only converge to debate and trade words over trivial matters.

SAY NO TO CHILDBRIDE.....EVEN IN NIGERIA!
