13-year-old Wiam was forced to marry 29-year-old Muhammad.
With tears in her eyes, she says:
“A girl can't say no. It's against our culture.”
Muhammad is happier and says:
“I married her young because I want to raise her myself so that she obeys me” pic.twitter.com/kmUQ6jIffJ

Western feminists remain notably silent about this.
Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law.
Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in January 2018 that under Islamic law, girls as young as nine can marry.
“Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this” — Ishaq Akintola, professor of Islamic Eschatology and Director of Muslim Rights Concern, Nigeria
“There is no minimum marriage age for either men or women in Islamic law. The law in many countries permits girls to marry only from the age of 18. This is arbitrary legislation, not Islamic law.” — Dr. Abd Al-Hamid Al-‘Ubeidi, Iraqi expert on Islamic law
There is no minimum age for marriage and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.” — Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council
“Islam does not forbid marriage of young children.” — Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology
Hadiths that Muslims consider authentic record that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage:
“The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (Bukhari 7.62.88).
Another tradition has Aisha herself recount the scene:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, “Best wishes and Allah’s Blessing and a good luck.” Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age. (Bukhari 5.58.234).
Muhammad was at this time fifty-four years old.
Marrying young girls was not all that unusual for its time, but because in Islam Muhammad is the supreme example of conduct (cf. Qur’an 33:21), he is considered exemplary in this unto today. And so in April 2011, the Bangladesh Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini declared that those trying to pass a law banning child marriage in that country were putting Muhammad in a bad light: “Banning child marriage will cause challenging the marriage of the holy prophet of Islam, [putting] the moral character of the prophet into controversy and challenge.” He added a threat: “Islam permits child marriage and it will not be tolerated if any ruler will ever try to touch this issue in the name of giving more rights to women.” The Mufti said that 200,000 jihadists were ready to sacrifice their lives for any law restricting child marriage.
Likewise the influential website Islamonline.com in December 2010 justified child marriage by invoking not only Muhammad’s example, but the Qur’an as well:
The Noble Qur’an has also mentioned the waiting period [i.e. for a divorced wife to remarry] for the wife who has not yet menstruated, saying: “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” [Qur’an 65:4]. Since this is not negated later, we can take from this verse that it is permissible to have sexual intercourse with a prepubescent girl. The Qur’an is not like the books of jurisprudence which mention what the implications of things are, even if they are prohibited. It is true that the prophet entered into a marriage contract with A’isha when she was six years old, however he did not have sex with her until she was nine years old, according to al-Bukhari.
Other countries make Muhammad’s example the basis of their laws regarding the legal marriageable age for girls. Article 1041 of the Civil Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran states that girls can be engaged before the age of nine, and married at nine: “Marriage before puberty (nine full lunar years for girls) is prohibited. Marriage contracted before reaching puberty with the permission of the guardian is valid provided that the interests of the ward are duly observed.”
According to Amir Taheri in The Spirit of Allah: Khomeini and the Islamic Revolution (pp. 90-91), Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini himself married a ten-year-old girl when he was twenty-eight. Khomeini called marriage to a prepubescent girl “a divine blessing,” and advised the faithful to give their own daughters away accordingly: “Do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house.” When he took power in Iran, he lowered the legal marriageable age of girls to nine, in accord with Muhammad’s example.

Some Muslim apologists state that it was common amongst world cultures to permit child marriage.
However, the Visigoths, who ruled Spain from 418-711 AD, agreed that a woman should be at least 20 before being allowed to marry.
Moreover, over the past 2,000 years, most Indo-European cultures have permitted marriage for girls/women between the ages of 17 to 21.
Even in most cultures which made exceptions to that, they’d allow girls who were 15 or 16 to marry with parental permission (and even then, to boys of about the same age, and not to adult men).
This makes sense because a girl’s hips don’t fully widen until she is in her late teens, and her body (and mind)is not fully developed until then, and she shouldn’t be having children before that.
So, when some Muslims say that Western consent laws are arbitrary, or that Joseph wed Mary when she was 13, (nowhere does the Bible say that), it’s bullshit and theyre talking through their hat.

We are not stupid we know all that stuff. Where was the video made and in which country is she?
Russell says
Does it matter what country this was taken in? As we, in the United States even, are going to have to deal eventually with the Islamic, Muslim, culture. All we have to do is watch and see what is going on in other countries to understand that sooner or later, we will have to deal with these people.
When their culture teaches that one is either Islamic or an infidel, no schooling for girls, down with America, or Sharia law, or honor killings, or selling young girls into marriage, etc., etc., sooner or later, we are going to have to deal with this corrupt culture. It is not okay to tell anyone that they are meaningless, and that it’s okay for anyone to kill them, because they happen to believe in a different God than they.
It is not okay to kill others because they do not believe the way we happen to believe. This is NOT the way our country is intended to operate.

Well in that case get yourself a dog or goat, plenty of sex & not complaints from them.

tim gallagher says
Apart from all the other evil shit in islam, such as a murderous hatred, as in the Koran, for all non-Muslims, the honour killings by parents of children who step out of line, etc, this evil pedophilia alone should earn islam the condemnation and loathing of all civilised human beings. And yet so many people seem to know nothing at all about this pedophilia and other evil aspects of islam and they keep giving islam a free pass and tell us that islam is quite OK. The stupidity of some sleepwalking fools knows no bounds. islam is a load of barbaric shit and it should be banned from the civilised, enlightened non-Muslim world.. 2024 and you get filth like this happening. Occasionally as I’m wandering around some shopping centre I will see very young looking Muslim woman, with a kid or two, and think that she looks extremely young. I guess these are the child bride types a few years later on with kids with them. What a rotten life. But that’s life for girls in misogynistic, barbaric islam. The defenders of islam are a bloody disgrace.
Al says
Spot on! You’re 100% correct. But the reasons the west tolerates this shit is because every western nation is scared shitless of Islam, well, all except Israel who fights these POS everyday. And the world keeps criticizing Israel for fighting back against these scums!
tim gallagher says
I think you are right, Al. The authorities in our western countries seem to be afraid of the violent riots that the Muslim barbarians will carry on with at the drop of a hat. The Hungarians and the Poles, the Czechs and Slovakians have the right approach. Keep Muslims, who have completely incompatible values, such as thinking this pedophilia is OK, out of the country and avoid all the garbage behaviour and all the trouble the muslims always bring to any country dumb enough to let them in. Of course, Israel has to fight the muslim scum because, if they don’t, Israel would be wiped out by the evil Muslim scum, so it is very clear what Israel needs to do in order to merely survive…
somehistory says
Tim, When all things are considered, it’s easy to see that a whole boatload of people in positions of power, favor rape of children and use them as objects of lust satisfaction.
There are gangs of people, mostly male, who buy and sell child porn. Some females help make it. Some in government here in the U.S., have been found trafficking in the sale of children.
One Lady rep, a few years ago, suddenly died in an *accident* while investigating and exposing the crimes.
Children are still children during the teen years, but some state legislatures have marriage age in the teens. They aren’t old enough to buy smokes, can’t buy and consume alcohol or vote, can’t join the military; but they can get married.
From all that I have seen, read and heard, there are way more people who are ok, and many happy, with the abuse of children than there are those of us who would bring a total end to it with heavy punishment upon the perps.
tim gallagher says
There’s no doubt that what you said there is true, somehistory. There are plenty of people who would like to have sex with underaged girls and boys. At least our civilised societies do see such behaviour as a crime. In stinking, barbaric islam it is all considered quite OK, or so it seems. Although I’m not sure if there are Muslims who don’t believe that it is OK and would not allow it to happen to their own children while there are others who think it is just fine because, hey, after all, their perfect, ideal man, Muhammad, the total degenerate, had sex with a young girl. To me this pedophilia is just one more reason, among many reasons, to keep Muslims out of civilised, non-Muslim societies. As I was saying up above, I have, only on a couple of occasions come across young looking Muslim girls with a kid or two with them (usually with older Muslim women with them, probably to keep them under the thumb) and thought, well, they probably were child brides. One was 5 or so years ago and another a few months back. It was a shock to see young looking girls like that. I suppose these child brides are hidden away(kept at home) or maybe their faces completely hidden away behind the full Muslim headgear. In so many ways, islam is such barbaric, primitive gabage.

Someone should step in and rescue her….annul her “marriage.” Give her some freedom.
and beat the soup out of her rapist and those who forced her into the daily rape and the slavery to him and his family.
Barbara says
This is the most evil cult. Like all other cult once you are a member you are not to leave or be murdered. Women and children are at the mercy of the males. They are not a man. Merely physically adult male bodies; which does not make them a man.
They excuse their kidnapping and rape of non muslim girls, because their conduct murders the helpless females. They murder the girls so they have to kidnap from other cultures.

At my age I know that getting angry isn’t really great for me, HOWEVER, in this case, bring it on.
This just gives me more strength to resist this sort of barbarity and prevent it from taking hold here in Oz.

We can’t pretend all religions are OK.
I imagine the Thugee cult was not a nice one to be in.I’m sure if you were in an Aztec cult you better make sure you were a priest and not a potential victim.
allah/islam is from the cult of the kaaba.
allah is NOT the Biblical God.
the koran VIOLATES all the laws given to Moses especially the 2 chief commandments and Golden Rule.,the Exodus 20{this is why converts to islam act as they do..but the LAWS given to Moses were never changed.The Laws actually apply to muslims.See koran 10:94}
islam has no prophetic future
islam is on the wrong side of Biblical prophecy
islam cannot have Jerusalem{Zechariah}
Question for the scholars of islam
The errors in the koran PROVE that allah cannot be omniscient as he claims koran 2:29
In koran 5:116{pickthall} allah stupidly insists Christians worship THREE gods!
THREE !!
And one of the gods in MARY!Fiddling the Arabic won’t work here.
So how can the koran come from any god if the errors in the koran PROVE the author does not have omniscience?
A false god{a manifestion of 2 cor 4:4 most likely}
A false prophet{even by muhammed’s own admission!}
A false scripture{Scientifically and Theologically wrong and provably so}
If you have question follow allah’s advice in koran 10:94 and CHECK WITH THE BIBLE FOLK
KORAN 10:94

No western country should recognise such unions, which have more to do with slavery than with marriage.
Don’t let them in and don’t let them commit their crimes on women living in the territory of a civilised nation.

The silence of Western ”feminists” is deafening to my ears.
As I watch young Western girls march alongside young muslim guys screaming about killing Jews and supporting thugs like Hamas who rape and behead young girls exactly like them and then we see some wee muslim girl covered up complaining, ON TV, that she doesn’t want to be married while some icky Elevator music plays over her tears.
