Turkey: father sells 12-year-old girl for four cows

Islam upholds women's rights, say the Islamic spokesmen in the West, and it all sounds great. Yet stories like this reinforce the often-reinforced impression that in Islam women are treated essentially as commodities. "Turkey: 12-Year-Old Girl Sold By Father for 4 Cows," from ANSAmed, n.d. (thanks to Insubria):

(ANSAmed) - ANKARA - A 12-year-old girl from Corum, a village in central Anatolia not far from Ankara, has been sold twice by her father: the first time in exchange for four cows, and the second time for 10,000 Turkish lire (around 4,800 euros). Just yesterday the police discovered the crime and arrested the girl's father and the second buyer, while the first is still being sought. The story was reported by daily paper Vatan, which writes that Sukru A. (this is the name of the father) sold his daughter K.A last summer when she was just 12 years old to 29-year-old bricklayer Kamber Bostan in exchange for four cows, who married the girl in a religious ceremony in front of the imam. After several months however, the girl - who became pregnant in the meantime - went back home because she didn't get on with her husband. Last December, in her sixth month of pregnancy, she lost the child. Ten days later the father sold her again, this time to a 20-year-old unemployed man, Gokhan Turk, who paid 3,000 out of the 10,000 lire agreed upfront, and took the girl home. Yesterday, when Turk refused to pay the balance - claiming that the girl he bought was not a virgin - Sukru A. turned to the police and reported him for insolvency but without mentioning the reason. After a short investigation the truth came out and both the father and Turk were arrested, while Bostan is still being sought.(ANSAmed).

Only four ?
Oh well !

Seems to me that Bostan deserves either his wife or his cows back.

It is okay to have four as long as he can treat them all equally.

Without any doubt, Islam treats women as commodities.One doesn't need to look beyond the Burqa. Instead, the Islamists shamelessly point fingers at other religions(as usual).

However, this is a general fact about Islam. What has it got to do with Jihad Watch ?

The Imam must have known and agreed or acquiesced. The father, Sukru, was probably not even aware he did something wrong, because it was he who alerted the police!

The police + the judicial system reacted a bit western-like, because for a long time now the Turks want to join the EU and the EU insists on certain laws, democracy like their own. Amongst others about marriageable age, consent of the girls in question.

But still in England and Holland it occurs that Turkish families marry their daughters, almost always without their consent, to Turks, living in Turkey. And then, begin september, some girls do not return to school. The parents have their "explanation-stories" ready of course.

In recent years, measures are being taken to prevent this from happening. One is that girls sign an intention-declaration that they do not want to marry but want to return home after the holidays. These documents can then be used when girls go missing in Turkey during the holidays. The same with Morocco & other Islamic countries.

Top Ten Excuses Why It's a Great Idea For a Muslim to Sell his Daughter for 4 Cows:

10. That's FOUR cows. Only ONE daughter. Duh.

9. Saves big on Burqa cleanings at the Allahmat.

8. If you ask yourself "what would Mo have done?" This is a real no-brainer, you stupid dhimmi!

7. Ayatollah Khomeni once wrote something about your cows, or was it goats? No? Babies? OH, yeah, "relations" with your livestock! That's it. SAME AXIOM, inshallah.

6. It's just part of sound Shariah financial principles.

5. The guy I made the trade with was dizzy from all the head banging and momentarily lost his sanity. It was supposed to have been THREE cows! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

4. Daughter "tipping" just not as much fun.

3. Jinn & Joos (extra blame on the Joos, of course).

2. The Moooolah made me do it.

1. Come on! Everyone knows a daughters real value in Islam! What's the big dealio??

It's incredible that backward Barbarians like this still exist in the 21st century.

Holy cow. But why wasn´t the imam arrested for performing an illegal marriage?

well cows are really expensive just goes to show you that muslim women are really expensive.

Turkey is a backward, primitive country, populated by ignorant males who follow Islam to the letter. The women don't figure at all, the ones that think they play a role in 'modern' Turkish society are deluding themselves. We in Europe have made a grave mistake in allowing mini-Turkeys to pop up all over the place. And God help us if our liberal PC elite succeed in pushing through Turkey's EU application. They will then move in in droves bringing along their filthy habits and customs, living off our generous benefits, and all along claiming their human 'rights'.

And for Karthik to say this article has nothing to do with Jihad Watch - really? We need to stay alert and awake, although Europe has been asleep for a very long time.

And so, the young girl "lost the child" as we are told here. In other words, the child lost the child.

Apart from the atrocity of selling a human being, committing her to a life for which she cannot give her approval, since she has no knowledge of her rights, is the outrage of exposing her to sexual abuse which results in her becoming pregnant and suffering (true physical and psychological suffering) a miscarriage.

I've been to the Corum region and was struck by the contrast of ancient civilization and "modern" village life. Despite its proximity to the ancient capital city of the Hittites, Hatussas, and the modern day Turkish capital of Ankara, some of Corum's inhabitants have obviously failed to absorb any civilizing influence. Not far from this girl's home town is the magnificent Museum of Anatolian Civilization. How ironic it is that the "civilization" part has been lost on some of the locals.

What does this article have to do with Jihad Watch?

Jihad comes in many forms, and perhaps the most pernicious is the creeping acceptance of sharia, of "cultural practices", of the immoral atrocities committed by muslims every day.

Jihad Watch shines a light upon the evil of islam, all of it, not just the suicide bombings, mass killings, and attempts to blow up planes.

This 12 year old child would be an old maid in monster muhammad's book. Marry 'em at 6 years old, while they're still pure and fresh. That's Pedo Mo's motto.

It sounds to me like this "loss" of her child was a convenient event for Daddy.


"However, this is a general fact about Islam. What has it got to do with Jihad Watch ?"

This story is an example of how things work, under Sharia, which is spread by jihad.


Did the father actually married all four cows?

Just imagine, this Islamic activity will be common place and a reality in the not so distant future under Sharia law in Eurabia, Londonistan, Canuckistan and Amrikistan. You too will be able attend their big fat weddings to witness 12 year old Muslim half white or half black "daugthers" being "married" off to anyone with cows, goats, horses, chimpanzees and even a running car! Hell the liberals will love this cultural diversity and even pass a government tax rebate program, calling it "very fresh young brides for clunkers" !!!

STOP ISLAMIZATION OF AMERICA.
STOP MUSLIM IMMIGRATION.
STOP FUNDING ISLAMIC TERRORIST SUPPORTERS - PAKISTAN
STOP SHARIA.

While such treatment, as always, is deplorable I find the between the lines of this story more interesting. Assuming that it is known that all these acts where against turkish law, the "father" and the two "men" felt free to commit them (slavery, rape) in the open AND report each other to the police when a dispute arose from these illegal acts. It makes me think these "laws" are not put into practice much and wonder why the police bothered in this case?

Four cows???? That's all? I want to be on the other end of the negotiating table from this guy. At the very least I would have gotten: 6 cows, 4 goats, and 2 lambs to be named later. Jeez, learn to negotiate dude. At least watch "Jerry Maguire".

They just make it sooooo easy.

12 years old? And cute?

Yo, how about 2 NY feminists and a used Hyundai?

I'll throw in a 2 spare tires and an extra battery.

Very interesting observations, Kinneddar. You highlight well the discontinuity between what the casual tourist may see in the larger urban centers and what is actually believed and practised in the villages of the vast Turkish heartland.

Many of Europe's problems are being caused by the high proportion of such rural migrants from various parts of the Islamic world.

Can you add more?

...speechless in SoCal ..my gawd!

... sold his daughter K.A last summer when she was just 12 years old to 29-year-old bricklayer Kamber Bostan.

A Moslem who has an actual job. Gotta like that.

*** 33:21 ***

... later the father sold her again, this time to a 20-year-old unemployed man, Gokhan Turk...

A Moslem who does not have a job. Gotta understand that.

*** 92:8 ***

A Turk named Turk. Gotta understand that.

But what puzzles me is that he's a consumer who got screwed by getting screwed in a deal intended to get him screwed. As LA attorney Johnny Cochran said, "Does that make sense? It does not make sense. It does not make any sense at all."

Thanks for this post of yours Kinneddar. Enlightening. Damning too.

"However, this is a general fact about Islam. What has it got to do with Jihad Watch ?"

Jihad is waged to impose Islamic laws on us. So any example of an 'evil' Islamic law becomes very relevant to Jihad Watch.

This is the kind of society we would end up in, if we don't pay attention to jihad.

Last December, in her sixth month of pregnancy, she lost the child. Ten days later the father sold her again
.................................

This poor little girl just miscarried—and it must have been pretty traumatic at 6 months pregnant—and her father resells her 10 days later.

I can only marvel at the barbarity. But wait—there's more. The second "husband" feels cheated because the little girl is not a virgin—and daddy feels cheated because he doesn't get the rest of his payments.

No one sees that it is the little girl who was cheated—by her father, by her two purchasers, by the loss of her own baby because she was forced to conceive at such a grotesquely early age. This is the morality and "family values" of Islam.
