Here is another indication of why this decision by the European Court of Human Rights was so misguided. The UK has gradually ushered in Sharia law, severe abuses included:
Nearly 2,000 young people in Britain, the vast majority of them girls, were wed before the age of 18 between 2010 and 2015
The UK also has 100 Sharia courts, which are running outside the reach of British law. These courts have already seen a sentence handed down approving of honor killing, and another ordered a traumatized woman to return to her abusive rapist husband.
Sharia abuses also include the rape of infidel girls and their use as sex slaves, a sickening phenomenon manifested in the UK Muslim rape gang crisis.
“Child marriage survivors say UK law legitimises ‘terrible’ abuse,” by Emma Batha, Reuters, October 23, 2018:
LONDON, Oct 23 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – When Zee was 13, she returned from school one day to find an engagement party under way at her home in northern England, but her excitement at the celebrations quickly turned to shock.
“I asked my mum who’s getting married. She said, ‘It’s you’,” Zee told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Her betrothed was represented by a photo – an older cousin she had never met who lived in Afghanistan, her parents’ country of birth.
“One day I’m not even allowed to talk to boys and the next I’m told I’m getting married,” Zee said.
“I was dressed up to look like a Christmas tree – very sparkly, very bling. Everyone was happy. The only person who was miserable was me.”
Child marriage – defined internationally as marriage under 18 – remains legal in Britain. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, teenagers can wed at 16 with parental consent. In Scotland, they do not need consent.
Zee, who did not want to give her full name, escaped by running away from home, but she says many girls are still being pushed into marriage.
Campaigners say it is time that Britain – which has been vocal about ending child marriage in developing countries – got its own laws in order.
They were particularly dismayed when Bangladesh changed its law recently to allow marriage at 16 – and cited British law as a justification.
“The UK should practice what it preaches,” said Mabel van Oranje, chairwoman of global advocacy group Girls Not Brides.
“Britain’s delay in reforming its own marriage laws is increasingly counterproductive.”…

I say its time for Britain was cut off from any support from The United States.
Clearly Britain has been taken over by satans army known as islam and the United States needs to distance it self from them because they are headed for eternal damnation.
abad says
Great minds think alike.
The UK as we once knew it is no more they have allowed the invader, interloper Moslems to take over their nation. I think it is very tragic, to be sure, but maybe it is time for the United States to let go. We did it in 1775, we can do it again.
Now.
Should the UK get a leader with a backbone and purge Islam and Moslems from UK soil, then we can reconsider opening relations with the UK once again.
I know I mentioned this in another post today on JW, Interloper Moslems(TM Pending) is the latest catchphrase; feel free to use.

The age of consent in Scotland is 16yrs and has been for a very long time.
Have you not heard of English under 18yos formerly eloping to Gretna Green which was the closest place to England so they could get married?

Not all these under 18s are Muslim child brides. They are consenting UK citizens
mortimer says
Britain will be Islamized if it does not stop CHILD MARRIAGE and COUSIN MARRIAGE.
Britain’s politicians are wilfully uninformed about NORMATIVE ISLAMIC MISOGYNY.
Jamie Glazov has explained the reason why British politicians do not stop this abusive practice of forced child marriage (usually first-cousin marriage). Glazov says … “THIRD-WORLD MEN RATE HIGHER ON THE VICTIMOLOGY SCALE THAN WHITE WOMEN” … so the third-world men have a right to RAPE CHILDREN and force them into involuntary servitude for life !!!
This is the only example where British politicians approve of slavery.
All Muslim women are to some extent slaves in that they are considered the absolute PROPERTY of a man.
IT’S THE IDEOLOGY, STUPID.
Robert Arnold says
More of the obsene and Satanic evil that IS izlam!
WHY does the “government” continue to ignore this? Any non-muslim would be arrested in short order!
I have zero respect for all the fools in government that are sitting by, on their thumbs and letting these crimes pass UNPROCECUTED!

Poor things.
Nietzsche says
They look moronic. not only because of the headscarf, but also because they are allowed to make themselves look prettier. They are not even allowed to pluck their (usually substantial) eyebrows, for heaven’s sake.

They don’t look moronic–they look scared.

UK: legitimizing “terrible abuse”: Nearly 2000 child brides in five years
……………….
Just horrifying. The UK should be prosecuting this pediphilia to the full extent of the law.

It is legal to marry at 16 in Scotland. Has been for a very long time.
Joe says
The girl in the story was 13. She was 100% against marriage and ran away from home to prevent it. In Islam, the “perfect man” is a child molester.

True, Joe.

Farage is avoiding the problem of islam like the plague, which it is. I’m sorry he has taken this turn. I used to like him. So I am glad that UKIP is now headed by Gerard Batten, who is not afraid to criticise the ‘religion of peace’. Whoever invented that name should get the Nobel Prize for Irony.

I don’t care what sort of “Satanic Law” you live under; Anyone caught abusing children in this was needs to be Horse Whipped then Hung!
As an example to the rest of the vile savages!
