Why? Because she violated Islamic law. A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “There should be no nikah [marriage contract] except with a wali [guardian].” (Jami al-Tirmidhi 1101)
And another hadith has Aisha recounting that Muhammad said: “Whichever woman married without the permission of her wali her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid. If he entered into her, then the mahr [bride price] is for her in lieu of what he enjoyed from her private part. If they disagree, then the sultan is the wali for one who has no wali.”
“Any woman who gets married without the permission of her wali, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid. If her husband has consummated the marriage, then the mahr belongs to her in return for that. If she does not have a wali then the (Muslim) ruler is the wali of anyone who does not have a wali.” (Jami al-Tirmidhi 1102)
“Sudanese woman flogged for marrying without father’s consent,” AFP, May 16, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Sudanese police lashed a woman 75 times on Tuesday after a court found her guilty of marrying a man without her father’s consent, her lawyer and rights activists said.
The woman, a native of the war-torn Darfur region, was flogged at a police station in Omdurman, the twin city of Khartoum, after having served a six-month prison sentence.
The punishment was meted out less than a week after another Sudanese court condemned a teenager to death for killing her husband who had allegedly raped her.
“She completed her six months in jail and today she was flogged 75 times” as ordered by the court, lawyer Azza Mohamed Ahmed told AFP.
Ahmed said her client was put on trial after the father refused to approve her marriage to a man of her own choice.
“She and the man then got married and lived together for a year,” the lawyer said, adding that the couple now have a two-month-old baby.
“Her family then filed a case against her, accusing her of living with a man illegitimately.”
Ahmed said the court found her client guilty of marrying without her father’s consent as required under the Muslim country’s law.
Her husband was sentenced to two years in prison….

That’s horrible, horrible! I’ve seen pics of an older female kidnap victim. She had whip scars, all over her FACE!

Lisa, unfortunately, this should not be unexpected; islam is a vile gangsta cult, in which women are essentially property, as are their children. under sharia, there is no punishment if a male murders one of his wives, or any of their children, or even their grandchildren, so long as the murder was to punish a violation of sharia. in muslim-majority nations not ruled by sharia, such murders are rarely punished. thus, this poor young lady and her husband (they are married in my book if they say that they are married) are being punished because they violated sharia, and this can be expected in *every* country that allows *any* application of sharia at all (just look at the nations of eurabia, which have allowed sharia, and thus have thousands of polygamists and child brides living within their borders, in spite of the illegality of these under their laws).

This totally ghastly and should be relayed to every feminist organisation to help to understand to whom they are giving sympathy and support, as in US for example.
J D S says
I don’t know how to answer stuff like this …except more stupidness in Islam.
Wellington says
No one should be surprised by this except Muslims and clueless dhimmis (unfortunately, these two groups take in way too large a portion of the species, Homo sapiens).
b.a. freeman says
Wellington, “Homo sapiens” is latin for “thinking man,” or perhaps “wise man;” those 2 groups U list sure don’t fit *that* bill!
Billy Chickens says
God, I hate Islam. It is so sick. Perverted. Evil. It’s the religion of satan so what else should we expect. Love thy neighbor? Family love?
Lookmann says
Even a stone-age man would be horrified at Islam’s treatment of women.
Clive Stephen Delmonte says
Doesn’t sound much like fatherly love to me.
penelope says
what an oxymoron; islam is PURE B S, ALONG WITH PURE OPPRESSION OF WOMEN. THE MEN JUST DON’T GET IT and never will. islam is of NO benefit to humanity, unfortunately, they keep the females uneducated and living in fear. the world should rise up to this oppressive hate filled agenda. get out of the 7th century mentality and wake up.
islam will implode just based on cousins marrying cousins; what is their iq?
nothing is more vile than islam, pure and simple; read TheTraveller, that will be their rules on controlling your every sneeze and passing of gas; how stupid is that???
