-Saudi Official: Marriage of 1 Year Old Baby Bride is OK
Dr. Ahmad al-Mu’bi, a Saudi Arabian marriage official, said last week on Lebanese television that it is permissible for baby girls as young as 1 to marry.
When asked about the appropriate age for sex for the first time? he said that: "This varies according to environment and tradition.”
In the interview, He also said that the Prophet Muhammad is the best guide in these matters. He took Alisha for his wife at age 6 but did not have sex with her until she was 9.
Response: This is one of those stories of incredible culture clash that gets buried by the Western press in the name of political correctness and religious toleration. After all, no one wants to be found guilty of ‘Islamophobia’.
In Texas, they are concerned about the FLDS Church members marrying off 12 and 13 year olds and the whole nation was horrified at the practice. But apparently in some Islamic dominated countries, marriage at 7,8 or 9 seems to be acceptable, or even 1 year olds in Saudi Arabia? This really is outrageous! *Top
