Israel, in a first, files charges against Muslim parents for underage sharia marriage

Jun 17, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

In a first and a precedent-setting move, Israel has filed charges against Muslim parents for marrying off their underage children. The prosecution handed down “indictments against three fathers and one couple for facilitating the underage marriage of their daughters aged from 11 to 14 years of age.”

They were operating according to the norms of the Sharia. Muhammad married Aisha when she was six years old and consummated the marriage when she was nine. (Sahih al-Bukhari, 7:62:64)

Bedouin girls marry young and there are high birth rates among Bedouin communities; it is not
uncommon for a woman to have six to ten children.

“Israel indicts Bedouin parents for marrying off underage daughters” by Riki Carmi, YNet News, June 15, 2020:

The prosecution has handed down for the first time indictments against three fathers and one couple for facilitating the underage marriage of their daughters aged from 11 to 14 years of age.

a 1950 law that was never enforced in the Bedouin community, allows marriage from the age of 18 unless sanctioned by family court.

According to the charges, the accused arranged for their daughters to marry men that in some cases were much older than the young girls with the content of the Sharia court…..

    Now, if we could get the US to do that, in all 50 states. But, of course, that would include the assumption that a 12-year-old girl possesses the right to decide whether to be impregnated and carry to term. Difficult decision for a lot of people out there!

      How is opposing child marriage–which is not, despite what you may think, rife in the United States–mean being in favor of child pregnancy? Not only are there very few cases of 12-year old children giving birth–few girls are even menstruating at the age of 11–but most of these cases are the result of incest. And no–no girl this young is able to give consent.

        I don’t think the writer was referring to the United States where there are probably very few under 18 marriages, let alone under-12. In many moslem countries marriages to under age girls are the majority. Many, if not most under-age brides are impregnated and do give birth, if they are lucky. Many die due to their under-developed bodies. And as for consent, no girl of twelve is asked for her agreement. They are often sold to dirty old men.

          Well, Christopher, revereridesagain did refer to “US…in all 50 states”, which sounds like America to me. He is usually a fine poster, but I’m not sure how my thinking he is referring to United States here is incorrect.

          And you are quite right about the abuse of young girls in Dar-al-Islam.

    YES! This is a critically-important milestone. The presumption, wherever Muslims happen to find themselves, is that they are under Shari’a jurisdiction, *even if they obey the laws of the land*. Move against Islam; it is the real enemy of the Jews, Israel, civilisation and humanity. Qudos to Israel for joining India in acknowledging the enemy and moving against it. The simple act of protecting women and girls, to secure for them the benefits of civilisation, is enough to set in train a series of developments that will start to put Muslims back in their place: *beneath* the law. I would be very interested to see the Muslim MKs’ responses to this indictments, especially “feminist” MK Iman Khatib-Yasin, who claims she plans to “fight for Arab women.”

    Let’s hear from Israel’s critics, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. Their true concern is the rights of Muslims in Israel, they say. Here we have Israel protecting the rights of these Muslim girls — 2 demographic connections to these two women, namely religion and gender. Silence? Why? Don’t they say, in their circles, that silence is violence?

    I agree wholeheartedly with Robert Spencer that is high time and past time that the laws of the land, here in the US and in this case Israel, be applied to inhabitants, no matter their self-assigned positions above it. They will learn or pay.

    If one reads Mazin Abdul-Adhim’s Facebook pages it is very surprising what you may learn. One headline discusses the enhancement exercises for your penis. This could very well explain why they like to have sex with young girls. Has there ever been a study on Muslim men penis size? I remember years ago a study comparing Orientals, Blacks and Caucasian and since so many of the media insist on calling Muslims a race……..it could end up being a “little” study.

    That’s great news. Enforce some basic human rights (the right not to be married off at a far too young age is surely a basic human right) on these backward Muslim barbarians. I think in many of our western countries, authorities tend to just turn a blind eye to these Muslim practices a lot of the time. I think they’d often rather not know, it’s all too much trouble for them. Occasionally they seem to prosecute some Muslims over these practices, but mostly just seem to ignore it.

    The Right to refuse a marriage proposal is controlled by the women and it is above her parents:
    • Marriage . To accept or reject a proposal, even for the great Abraham’s son Isaac: “And they [Rebecca’s parents] said, we will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth” [Gen. 57-24].

    The male central figure (worshiped) idol of Islam Muhammad establishes a global precedent for pedophilia on the planet. The “us vs. them” viz. “believer vs. unbeliever” mentality is (presently) thoroughly Islamic and has infected just about all of politics.

    It is still a shame people are not able to see Islam is clearly the global root of Nazism/fascism/socialism and the ever-in-hiding ” believing ” Muslims are the real “Jews” who divide/conquer. Hitler committed suicide only after he found out who the real “Jews” were/are (the Muslims) as he was deceived into becoming ALLIED with them (Muslim Brotherhood). Once he found out… bang. His whole life was about getting rid of the Jews, but in the end he ended up working for them. That is how Islam and the Deep State (same work: Muslim = (real) Jew however they have everyone ” believe ” they are (somehow) not book-worshiping pedophilia-loving “Jews”.

    If one knows Muslim = Jew, one knows more about geopolitics than most world leaders, past and present. The mental illness of Muhammad/Islam was/is they can not account for their own actions, thus scapegoat their own actions onto others. This is why Nazis pathologically project their own crimes onto the other side: it is called SCAPEGOATING and is the same practice as being a ’tiller of the soil’ ie. the biblical Cain – to draw from ones own nature. Muhammad did this against (as) the Jews and the Muhammadans pathologically scapegoat their own crimes against humanity onto Jews *while being the real Jews*. They can not see the “Jew” in-and-of themselves for not being able to look in the mirror, hence pathologically blaming others for everything.

    The original sin was: Adam could not account for his own actions. He blamed both the woman and god (blame in both hands) and the truth is in plain sight with the hijab/niqab/burqa: Muhammadan men blame the woman if she is raped, and not the man who raped her.

    This is more confirmation that ” believing ” Muslim men religiously abuse women (and scapegoat the same onto any/all others) because the idol of Islam Muhammad religiously abused women, not the least of which involves the precedent-establishing rape of a nine-year-old child A’isha who later went on to say:

    “I have never seen anyone suffer like the believing woman.”
    -A’isha, wife/victim of Muhammad

    She had it more right than Muhammad ever did.

    YES! Thank you Israel for stepping up on behalf of these children.
    As a parent I find it appalling that someone would have such a small amount of love for their child to literally sell her into sex slavery. Muhammad was nothing short of an animal praying on the weakest members of society to fulfill his animal desires. And what’s even more amazing is the number of men and women who dedicate their daily lives and souls to Muhammads vision of god. It truly is a sickness.

    In my humble opinion, Israel is the only civilized country in the Middle East. Hooray for Israel, especially in taking the stance against underaged marriages.
