Sudan's main Islamic authority misunderstands Islam, publicly advocates child marriage

"The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)." -- Bukhari 7.62.88

Muslims take this seriously and imitate Muhammad in this. Article 1041 of the Civil Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran states that girls can be engaged before the age of nine, and married at nine: "Marriage before puberty (nine full lunar years for girls) is prohibited. Marriage contracted before reaching puberty with the permission of the guardian is valid provided that the interests of the ward are duly observed."

The Ayatollah Khomeini himself married a ten-year-old girl when he was twenty-eight. Khomeini called marriage to a prepubescent girl "a divine blessing," and advised the faithful: "Do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house."

The Qur'an also It allows for marriage to pre-pubescent girls, stipulating that Islamic divorce procedures “shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated” (65:4).

Thus this should come as no surprise to anyone -- except those who have bought the deceptive line of Islamic supremacists in the West, that Aisha was actually nineteen, etc.

"NGO decries endorsement of girl child marriage by Sudan’s state-controlled clerics," from the Sudan Tribune, October 22 (thanks to Lachlan):

October 22, 2012 (KHARTOUM) – The head of Sudan’s main clerical authority, the Religious Scholars Committee (RSC), has publicly advocated girl child marriage, drawing the ire of women activists rights who called for an immediate ban against the practice.

According to the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA ), a local NGO, RSC’s chairman Mohamed Osman Salih, made his endorsement of girl child marriage in the Sudanese capital Khartoum on 17 October during a debate organized by the United Nation Fund for Population (UNFPA) in collaboration with the Sudanese Ministry of Religious Guidance on Girl’s Child Marriage.

SIHA reported that Salih argued that girl child marriage is an appreciative matter in Islam and has many advantages including the prospect of being able to produce many offspring.

The NGO recalled that in 2009 the RSC issued a Fatwa endorsing female circumcision despite much lobbying by activists to ban the harmful practice.

SIHA further criticized the fact that the Sudanese government has failed to amend the laws that allow girl child marriage, referring to the Sudan Personal Status Act of 1991 which contains an article allowing for the marriage of girls as young as 10.

“As women activists, women’s human rights defenders and community leaders across the Horn of Africa, we are saddened by the lack of progress Sudan is demonstrating and the lack of will to amend and revise the country’s laws and legislations towards respecting the human rights and dignity of women and girls” SIHA’s statement reads.

SIHA called on the Sudanese government to conform the country’s personal laws with international obligations and to immediately ban and criminalize the granting of marriage licenses for girls under the age of 18.

It also called for abolishing all legislation that seeks to undermine and violate women’s human rights.

To echo Wellington ; so sick of Islam.

''SIHA reported that Salih argued that girl child marriage is an appreciative matter in Islam ''

So, come on all you 'moderate' muslims, and apologists for islam, where are you to tell us ''this isn't islam, it's cultural'' ?

Shouldn't you be rushing in your *thousands* to tell this : '' ... head of Sudan’s main clerical authority, the Religious Scholars Committee (RSC)'' that he is an egregious 'misunderstander of islam', and that islam in fact *reveres* women, and was the first religion to give women equal rights ?

Bang-on-the-button, Jan.

Sexual relations with children is halal in Islam. It seems that kafirs have higher moral standards than believers. I wonder if any of our local "taquiyya crew" can explain........or are they too busy with their nine-year old wives?

"Muslims take this seriously and imitate Muhammad in this."

Geert Wilders described this behaviour in one word: PIGS.

sick f....s. Khomeini was the ring leader.

Little girls who are wedded and bedded at eight or nine or ten don't necessarily produce children.

For one thing: because she is so small and immature, intercourse may damage her cervix, making it impossible for her to sustain a pregnancy.

Further: ovulation is not regular even for some time after a girl has begun her menses, so marrying earlier and earlier with a view to having more children, is nonsensical: she cannot get pregnant if she is not ovulating, or ovulating only infrequently.

And a girl who gets pregnant in her early teens is a/ more likely to have a miscarriage or b/, if she carries the child to term, more likely to die in childbirth (in which case the child usually dies also) or c/ if she manages to give birth, the baby may well be damaged in some way.

In a society like Sudan, where nearly all Muslim girls are infibulated (the most severe form of female genital mutilation), *all* women of any age are more likely to have obstructed labours leading either to the death of the mother and/ or the baby, or to fistulas (holes are ripped between vagina and bladder and/ or between vagina and anus, such that the woman becomes incontinent of urine and/ or stool and becomes a despised outcast.).

In Yemen, though they - obsessively, Islamically, idiotically, sadistically - persist in wedding and bedding little, little prepubescent and barely pubescent girls, they have just enough insight to recognise the common results of this practice: for they call the girls "the brides of death".

Islam: made to order for sadistic pedophiles.

From Miriam Ali's "Without Mercy", 1995, which tells of her attempts to rescue from Yemen her two young daughters who in their early teens were taken from the UK to Yemen by their Muslim Yemeni father, and sold as 'wives'.

In Yemen, Miriam came across many other girls in the same predicament as her daughters.

Here is one:

Zana had met so many girls taken from the Midlands (England), taken by force who were now in Yemen.

"One was a petite blonde from Derby.

:" She was 9 years old when she was taken and had already three miscarriages when she became pregnant a fourth time. This time the child had been stillborn. The death of this little baby had taken the child-mother's sanity. She was 12 years old."

Three miscarriages; then a stillbirth; then...madness. All by age 12.

Islam is a religion for male sadists who get off on *destroying* females.

This sort of thing is not about life; it is about death.

More offspring, indeed! What a disgusting excuse! Anyway, Sudan is swarming with babies. If they want more babies, why don't these clerics go and save some of those little kids who languish in orphanages after being tossed in the street post-partum. I would have thought there were babies to spare.
But of course it's not about that...

Thanks, London Jim.
