Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pakistan: Council of Islamic Ideology says laws prohibiting child marriage are un-Islamic

Mar 11, 2014 7:43 pm By Robert Spencer

CouncilofIslamicIdeologyAs I explained in detail here, few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage. That being the case, how could the Council of Islamic Ideology issue any different ruling? Yet Islamic apologists in the West frequently insist that Aisha was post-pubescent and much older than nine when Muhammad consummated the marriage with her, and the credulous Infidels go back to sleep — while untold numbers of girls suffer in Islamic child marriages all over the world.

“Laws prohibiting underage marriage not Islamic: Council of Islamic Ideology,” from The Nation (Pakistan), March 11:

ISLAMABAD- The Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) ruled today that Pakistani laws prohibiting marriage of underage children are un-Islamic. At the end of its two-day session today, the CII said there is no minimum age of marriage according to Islam.

“Islam does not forbid marriage of young children,” the council said. “However, the consummation of marriage is only allowed when both husband and wife have reached puberty.”

If that is so, then why does the Qur’an specify that divorce procedures — specifically, the three-month waiting period before final divorce is granted — apply to girls who have not yet menstruated? “And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women – if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated” (65:4).

The CII’s ruling comes a day after its chairman Maulana Mohammad Khan Sheerani said laws regarding second marriage of a man in the presence of a first wife were against religious principles. “Sharia allows men to have more than one wife and we demanded that the government should amend the law,” he told reporters after a CII meeting.

Pakistani law requires a man to have written approval from his existing wife or wives for another marriage. Sheerani urged the government to formulate Sharia-compliant laws related to marriage, divorce, adulthood and ‘will’. According to the Constitution of Pakistan, the CII is a recommendatory body that advises the parliament in the law-making process, but cannot enact laws on its own.

    Look at that photo. Take a long look. Babe magnets everyone of them, no? And everyone of these bastards agreeing on the wisdom and legitimacy of men marrying girls. Yeah, girls.

    If Islam isn’t sicko, then what the Hell is? Doubt me? Then take another look at that photo and what these bastards agreed upon, in imitation of the Model Man I might add.

    Sick. Sick. Sick. These men are certainly the disciples of Satan if there is such a being, as was Mohammed. If there is a supreme being called God, he or she would not endorse deviant and perverted behavior such as pedophilia. If a man can’t handle a woman of his own age and knowledge, he is a coward.

      there is no indication that the Unique God of the Bible condoned marriages as practiced by the slaves to SHARIA.

      Satan does get the blame for encouraging deviant behavior.

      the ideal marriage encouraged in the Bible describes both man and woman as being respectful towards each, with each being helpful and supportive to the other … availing themselves of LOVE bestowed by the Unique God, who blesses marriage, and who encourages forgiveness and reconciliation. The Unique God hates divorce.

        “availing themselves of LOVE bestowed by the Unique God”

        They got no love of their own then?

        What?

        Born with no love?

        Course the Unique God hates divorce, gotta keep the flock together and dependent on the Unique God that joins them with LOVE that therefore like glue also forms a barrier between their minds that is instilled with the idea that any thought of an alternative existence is blasphemy.

          I apply that to all religions and cults, but in Islam, inherent in the glue is the virtue of murder.

    over 70 precent in pakistan are 1st cousin marriages, and most are some sort of incest..and most end up with some birth defect at some stage. these girls are just that, girls. no cultural, no islamic right or no other conclusion. paedophilia legalised and enforced.

    and these girls will never fight their own way out of this, as they are raised to believe in it. and threatened with stoning, burning, acid etc. those pictured are the final say. and i bet they dont hold a degree or much education between them. just an ability to memorise the koran.

    even for an extinct, bronze aged culture, this is extreme. i still refer to sharia as stone aged .. in thought and action.

    pigs and apes? look in the mirror, CII.

    Imagine all the pregnant Muslim women who thought that pious Muslim men were enamored by their beautiful eyes peeking through the burqas when all along they were just ogling their plump bellies in eager anticipation of a child bride engagement ceremony for the newborn.

    “Islam” synonymous with “atrocity” “perversion” synonymous with “Islam”

    Off the topic; I don’t know why I check the “notify me” box. I get this confusing and complicated message in my email… …not like those other “notify me” features elsewhere that are pretty simple and uncomplicated.

      The other problem is so called Christian western view is completely disregarding the inbreed and minor marriages in Christian world for more than 1000 years. These guys are just 632 years backwards, give them a time.

    It’s simple, woman and man both represent an equal half of the creative equation we are bound to as humanity.

    Form and Force, that’s the infinite beauty that guides our shared and limitless path.

    Forcing the meditation of this union on youth not prepared to participate consciously makes a mockery of the Islamic Religion, wastes the creative impetus, causes destruction and shows this Council to be redundant, a burden, writhing in ignorance lol. Let the babies go you insecure zealots.

    This is abuse! The consistent reading of the unholy practice’s within the religion of Islam will eventually cause some mental instability.

    Followers of Islam should consult a proctologist!

    Pakistan: Council of Islamic Ideology says laws prohibiting child marriage are un-Islamic
    …………………………………..

    And the story on Jihad Watch right before this one? The prevalence of child marriage in Turkey—and on just the same Islamic grounds.

    More:

    “Laws prohibiting underage marriage not Islamic: Council of Islamic Ideology”
    …………………………………..

    Well, these evil bastards are right: preventing the rape of children by old men *is* un-Islamic.

    More:

    “Islam does not forbid marriage of young children,” the council said. “However, the consummation of marriage is only allowed when both husband and wife have reached puberty.”
    …………………………………..

    Yeah, right. Of course, Mohammedans also claim that little nine-year-old Aisha—who would not see her menarche for six more years per the Hadith, had already “reached puberty”.

    More:

    The CII’s ruling comes a day after its chairman Maulana Mohammad Khan Sheerani said laws regarding second marriage of a man in the presence of a first wife were against religious principles. “Sharia allows men to have more than one wife and we demanded that the government should amend the law,” he told reporters after a CII meeting.
    …………………………………..

    Polygamy is intrinsically very ugly, and this just makes if uglier.

    Yet more proof that there is no love in Islam.

    from the beginning, islam has always been antichrist. It (islam)is synonymous with violence.

    Most war-mongers cry “peace at home” to protect and preserve natural resources, concerning traditional political and cultural family values. It would be better not be born at all then to be born in the conclave of Islamic Extremism such as these. Worldwide Axis powers have their own underground (literally)secret sexual clubs that inculcate their off spring into submission, often using blackmail to control the resistors and reward the successful reprobate copy of themselves to occupy positions of authority in Governments around the democratic world.

    J. Edgar Hoover had files of secrets; ” The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.”

    However, to be fair . . . In America, research indicates that 46% of children who are raped are victims of family members (Langan and Harlow, 1994). The majority of American rape victims (61%) are raped before the age of 18; furthermore, 29% of all rapes occurred when the victim was less than 11 years old. 11% of rape victims are raped by their fathers or step-fathers, and another 16% are raped by other relatives. This includes male victims, more of which are not reported actually produce many homosexuals.

    While these acts are criminal offenses to society at large and offenders are marked, imprisoned for awhile and then returned to communities to offend again and again. Sexual perversion is at it’s peak World Wide . . . . most cultures do not brag and glory to the Western (more civilized’) Christian world, unless of course you are Hillary Clinton and an ambassador that promoted LGBT to the Eastern World while American Churches were glorifying in their monetary and materialistic greed, American children were being reeducated on the nature of Sex with out GOD!

    Who is the Anti-Christ here? We can not be defined by the laws of the Nations that we live in as designed by fallen mankind. Not everyone who uses Yahweh or Allah’s name or the Feminine Holy Spirit of Truth are covered in the blood of the Christ, or the testimonies of Mohammad, or any guardian of truth for their culture.

    One might ask how can I live with this knowledge of abuse on so many innocent children, who grew to be corrupted material sexual deviant adults that rule the Masses of the planet? At times I have cried so many tears and wailed out like a broken drum that my eyes were swollen shut and my swollen throat made it hard to continue to breath. Jesus and the Holy Mother of Truth has in different visitations, shown me the end of all these things and this is the Glory of Love that will survive.
