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

UK: Muslim mom found guilty for forcing daughter to wed older relative

May 23, 2018 10:39 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“A mother who forced her daughter to marry a relative almost twice her age has been convicted in the first successful prosecution in England.” The mother used extraordinary means of deception and manipulation to ensure the marriage of her daughter, who “was entered into a ‘marriage contract’ with the man and became pregnant aged 13.” The man was 29 at the time.

The mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, looked shocked as she was convicted of forced marriage and of deceiving the victim to go to Pakistan in order to enter into a false marriage.

As abhorrent as it is for a mother, who should be protective of her children, to force her daughter to marry an older relative, she looked shocked as she was convicted, because to her, what she did was normal. Child marriage is approved in Islam. The Pakistan Council of Islamic Ideology says that laws prohibiting child marriage are un-Islamic.

It is appalling that Western authorities turn their backs on the victims of these barbaric practices in the name of diversity and tolerance.

Supt Sally Holmes from West Midlands Police said up to 300 calls a month about forced marriage and honour-based abuse are reported by Karma Nirvana, an organisation supporting victims of honour related abuse, “but a lot of victims will not want to report these matters to police”.

Victimized Muslim women have no voice, and they cannot escape to the West, because oppressive Islamic doctrine has followed them. Their coreligionists of the Muslim Brotherhood in the West have betrayed them, as have leftist feminists. The only voices that speak for them are so-called “far-right bigots.”

Islamic culture and practice are completely at odds with Western constitutional principles. Now that we have flung open the doors to unvetted migrants, changes to the Western landscape are inevitable, as respect for democratic rule and human rights dwindles.

“Forced marriage: Mum guilty of making daughter wed older man”, BBC News (thanks to Mick), May 22, 2018:

A mother who forced her daughter to marry a relative almost twice her age has been convicted in the first successful prosecution in England.

The woman duped the 18-year-old into travelling to Pakistan to wed the man, who was 16 years her senior.

Years before the ceremony, the girl was entered into a “marriage contract” with the man and became pregnant aged 13.

A jury at Birmingham Crown Court found the mother guilty of two counts of forced marriage.

The court heard the girl had an abortion upon her return to the UK, with her GP reporting his concerns to social services.

Prosecutors said her mother “made all the right noises” to suggest her daughter and the man were just “two teenagers who had sneakily had sex” after she was referred.

‘Burn passport’ threat
Just after her 18th birthday, the girl was tricked into travelling to Pakistan again under the pretence of a family holiday.

Once there, the court was told, the girl sobbed as her mother forced her to sign marriage papers.

Giving evidence during the trial, she recalled crying as her mother led her by the arm to meet her husband-to-be.

“I didn’t want to get married to him,” she said.

When the daughter protested against the marriage, jurors heard, her mother threatened to burn her passport and assaulted her.

The girl “has been let down badly by her mother, whose love and attention she craves,” prosecutor Deborah Gould said.

The mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, looked shocked as she was convicted of forced marriage and of deceiving the victim to go to Pakistan in order to enter into a false marriage.

She was also convicted of perjury, after she lied about the incident in the High Court….

    Did she get a good price for her?

      Poor girl. Now she will be ostracised by her massive Islamic family.

        If she is lucky she will be ostracized. If not lucky she will either be held like a captive and abused by them or disposed of for bringing dishonor to the family.

          I hope she has escaped.

    The sentence…..Most probably a slap on the wrists and told not to do it again!! And the daughter….??

      Unfortunately too little and too too late.
      The stable doors of Britain are wide open and self pservation and common sense have already bolted

    It is encouraging to read that there has been a conviction in this case. Hopefully this will send a much-needed “message” to the Umma that if they continue to treat their daughters as possessions to be sold for their own benefit, in the future not everyone in the dar al Harb will be content to look the other way.

    It is also gratifying to read that a 13-year-old child was not forced to bear the result of rape because it was “innocent” — implying that she was not — or some such rot.

    Finally a prosecution of the sub-humans

    One single prosecution – and how many others quietly being forced into marriage so that their husbands can come to Britain to swell the hordes already here?

    The authorities are way behind the action and our once lovely country is the real victim.

      Have we, in the U.S. got laws on the books to cover all the atrocious acts in Islam??? I think we don’t have.

    the sad thing is that we are all surprised by the fact that a judge in Britain goes against sharia. Because it is the very rare exception. I still believe that the UK is gone. It is the worst place in Europe. By far.

    If these barbarians want to live according to barbaric Muslim law, why do they come to the UK in the first place. I know all about the large sums of money they get and I guess that’s why, but why live in a society one detests?

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 4, 2018 at 7:59 pm

      Because they want to conquer us and impose barbaric Muslim law on us, Carolyne.

    They are all 100% consanguine after 100 generations of consanguine family unions.
    They are all stupid, as all the “pure race” dogs forced to consanguine unions since 100 generations.
    Consanguinity produce a lot of health problems to the muslims.
    All this only because they adore the terrorist Muhammad.
    After 100 generations, they should all have some ADN of pedophile Muhammad, but because they only marry in family, they have not.
    Every christians have some ADN of Charlemagne, Muslims not.

    If migrants want to live their lives under the laws of another religion, either forsake your religion or give it up for your new home. You can’t have both. This story is merely one of many, and unfortunately, portends the future.

    Why is the mother’s name withheld, and “for legal reasons?” The UK actually protects those convicted of crimes by safeguarding their anonymity?!?

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 4, 2018 at 8:25 pm

      Yes, it does–apparently, whenever a child is involved. Even if the child was the victim.

    UK: Muslim mom found guilty for forcing daughter to wed older relative
    ……………………..

    This is rife in Britain. At least we now–finally!–have a prosecution.

    Khadija had a business running caravans. Muhammed organized and led caravans working for her.

    It was only after he founded Islam that he began raiding caravans rather than engaging in trade.
