It is a shame ignorant women on this forum seem to be supporting these backward practices

Do you also believe sex jihad. Prostitution under the guise of Islam

So its better if she had a boyfriend and had xaram sex instead ? Let her get married if she cant keep her legs together.

I agree with Salool, kolay abaheed ta yar wax umbu ku ogaa and maybe wuxu islaha guurka uga sharaf badan inta caloosha loo buuxin laha in a xaaram manner.

And why are ppl frontin' like 12 yr olds don't have boyfriends and have sex?

Haya!

Lax dhukani abaar moog.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have people like this forumer above who's indirectly justifying this crime under the false pretense that it's an antidote to ''promiscuity''. Anyone who believes a 12 year old child is promiscuous waxbaa u dhiman and that includes the big bearded freaks who arrange these types of ''marriages''.

Btw, there's no such thing as xalaal sex because that implies that all our ancestors before Islam were ''garac'' i.e bastards, am I right or wrong? Yaa xalaaleeyey galmadii awoowga 45 lagu dhalay?

Sulfur,

Bro, I hope they're not Somalis.
No, they are not Somalis. The father of the little girl is a Caucasian Muslim convert, while the husband who has already been jailed for 10 years is a citizen from Lebanon on a student visa. The sheikhs at the main mosque that the family attends refused to marry him because the bride was a child, another visiting Sheikh from Iran who is from a different mosque married them. He claims that he was told by the bride's father and the husband that she was an adult. That Imam was fined and now is waiting in a detention centre to be deported to Iran.


Father of child bride found guilty of facilitating marriage to man more than twice daughter’s age.

THE FATHER

The girl’s father had converted to Islam about 20 years ago and brought up his children as Muslims.

Before his arrest, the fifth generation Australian man told The Daily Telegraph that he turned to religion after a battle with drugs, alcohol and gambling.

His trial heard that he had strict Islamic beliefs.

He believed that girls should be married when they hit puberty and that in marrying his daughter he was preventing the sin of sex before marriage.

I’m his police interview, he told detectives that he first became worried that his daughter was getting excited about boys when he took his children to a skate park.

“These boys started hanging around my daughter, she seemed like she got excited,” he said.

“She’s getting all excited and looking at the boys and just like different, a bit scary to me.”

So when a Lebanese university student enquiried about marrying the girl, the man allowed them to meet.

THE HUSBAND

The husband was a devout Muslim when he arrived in Australia from Lebanon on a student visa in June 2013.

The Newcastle University student saw a girl he like at a Hunter Valley mosque in late 2013 and in line with the Islamic customs he knew, he asked her father if he could marry her.

At the girl’s father’s trial he told the court that her father facilitated their relationship from the beginning.

He said he was never told it was illegal to marry because of her age and said they had sex “because I believed she was my wife”.

During his time in the witnessed box, he still referred to the child as his “wife” and her father as his “father-in-law”.

During a police interview early last year that he believed the relationship was consensual and he was doing everything right under Islamic law.

“In Islam...when her dad say yes, when she say yes - that’s a yes,” he said.

“That’s a yes so it’s finished, we can get married.

“I love (the girl), I can’t eat without her, I can’t go without her.”

He ended up pleading guilty to persistent child sex abuse after initially being charged with 26 counts of sexual inter course with a child.

Judge Sweeney earlier this month sentenced him to ten years in prison with a non-parole period of seven-and-a-half years.

His student visa was cancelled after his arrest and he is likely to be deported upon his release from jail.

THE MOTHER

The girl’s mother became emotional while giving evidence at her ex-husband’s trial.

She said he called her some time in January 2014 to tell her that her daughter was getting married and he wanted her to meet her future husband.

“I said no I don’t want to meet him, I don’t agree with her getting married,” the mother told the court.

“He said that she is going to get married no matter what and the next time I saw her she would be married.”

The woman said she then spoke to her daughter and told her not to get married and the girl said she wouldn’t.

“He wanted her to be married or he wouldn’t have married her,” she said.

“I didn’t agree with it, I had nothing to do with it.”

The mother said she only found out the couple had been married under Sharia law when the DoCS got involved after the man was arrested.

Wearing a large silver crucifix while giving evidence, the mother lashed out after the father’s barrister said he suggested that her learning difficulties would have led her to forgot conversations she had with her ex-husband.

“Who’s going to forgot that?,” the mother said.

“I’m not happy about my daughter being married in the first place so don’t have a go at me.”

THE IMAM

Sheik Muhammad Tasawar told the father’s trial that he went to the girl’s Hunter Valley home on January 12 last year to marry a couple.

He said he asked if she was an adult and sought permission from her father to perform the Nikah, which is the name for an Islamic marriage ceremony.

“When I asked (her father) for his permission I asked him if they are grown up adults and he said yes,” Mr Tasawar told the court through a Punjab interpreter.

“Do you give permission for your adult to be married and he said yes and then I performed the ceremony.”

Mr Tasawar, 36, said he also asked the “husband” about her being an adult and he said yes

Tasawar last year pleaded guilty to solemnisation of a marriage by an unauthorised person and he was fined $500.

His religious leaders visa was cancelled and his he currently being held at an immigration detention centre and is likely to be deported.

Why didn't the girl say no? This is not the middle east no one can force her. She could have went to her mothers. What sort of mother stands by and let's that happen anyway?

The girl was a child and brainwashed and told by her father this is the "Islamic" thing to do. How could she reject it? The mother is Caucasian, divorced moved out of the area and leads a Christian life, she also suffers from intellectual disability and the kids are raised by their father. He is a Caucasian convert. Read the article I posted.
