Manama: Kuwaitis have called for stringent action against a family in Yemen after their eight-year-old daughter died of internal injuries on the first night of her arranged marriage to a man more than five times her age.
Rawan died in city of Hardh in the Governorate of Hajjah in northwestern Yemen, Kuwaiti daily Al Watan reported on Sunday, quoting Yemeni media.
She is believed to have suffered a tear to her genitals and severe bleeding.
Yemeni activists urged the local police to arrest the “beastly groom” and the girl’s family and transfer them to a court where justice would be served and the case would be used to help put an end to the practice of marrying very young girls in the impoverished country, the daily said.
In Kuwait, bloggers offered their prayers for the “bride”, but lashed out at the “groom”, saying that he was a beast who should be severely punished.
Angry Man, a blogger, posted that the man was “an animal who deserved to be punished severely for his crime.”
“All those who supported such a crime should also be punished,” he said.
Under the moniker “Sad”, another blogger said that everybody should have realised that Rawan was too young to get married.
“Her family and her groom could have waited for some time before having this marriage,” Sad said. “It was not fair at all and the marriage should not have happened even if some tribes believe that it is a good custom.”
Bu Omar said that he was disturbed by the death report.
“Rawan’s family members are not humans. They do not deserve to have children,” he said.

this headline just caught my eye, its very sickening.. legal pedophilia in the arab world :\ no other way to put this.

a 40+ yo legally penetrates a 8 yo, resulting in death.

read the reactions: they all appear to find it disturbing, yet something tells me that such cases are not rare, and that laws will not be changed.

Disgusting. Governments who let such things happen should be sent to Sahara.

An eight year old bride in Yemen died from internal injuries on her wedding night, bleeding to death after deep vaginal tearing caused by sex with her 40 year old husband.

The girl, identified only by the name Rawan, died in Hardh in the governorate of Hajjah in northwestern Yemen, according to a report issued by UPI on Sunday, Sept. 8.

Activists in the region want to put an end to the practice of marrying young girls, and have called for police to arrest the girl's husband and family. Nevertheless, the forced marriage of child brides in Yemen remains a socially accepted custom in many rural areas.

Indeed, the practice has deep cultural and religious roots, and is widespread in Yemen. A February 2009 law set the minimum age for marriage at 17, but it was repealed after some conservative lawmakers called it un-Islamic.

In particular, a prominent Islamic cleric, Abdulmajeed al-Zindani, issued a fatwa in support of the practice, declaring supporters of a ban on child brides to be apostates, and ultimately leading a successful campaign against legislation that would prevent adult men from marrying children.

The issue of Yemen's child bride problem made headlines three years ago when an 8-year-old girl went to court, demanding a judge dissolve her marriage to a man in his 30s. The girl eventually won a divorce, and legislators began looking at ways to curb the practice. However, they have so far been unsuccessful. Currently the law states that parents should decide when a daughter marries.

Unfortunately, reports indicate more than a quarter of Yemen’s females marry before age 15.

Her parents married her off to a man five times her age, and the pig basically raped and murdered her. He should be punished and child marriage should be against international law.

Wtf?! These so-called "conservative" Islamic extremist sexist, misogynistic imbeciles need to be taken out!

Here we have a saying "Isn't crazy he who eats but he who gives the food". If there were strict laws, this creature couldn't have satisfied his lust for young flesh.

How can you even rape a child...what kind of demon you must be.

There's already a thread about this.

The guy simply needs to be victimized. There's something about these men, they feel powerful when alone with a woman (or in this case a young girl) as though it's some kind of god given right. This culture needs to be confronted violently, by men who are ready and willing to smash skulls.

The only way you stop males who have been ingrained in this culture, is to provoke them into violent conflict and obliterate them. Spill their organs and let the vultures clean the rest.

But no, when America wants to annihilate and fuck yemen up, the whole international community jumps on the coward bandwagon but then decries shit like this...Get real cunts. You either spill their guts or shut the fuck up and accept the kiddy raping.
