Tony Erikson Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Currently legalised child abuse on the grounds of culture. Let's hope the act of shipping your loved ones of to foreign fields for them to be prostituted off is soon outlawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 At least the Government is considering making it illegal. I take it you mean forced marriages in general rather than 5 year olds getting married. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloomdido Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I take it you mean forced marriages in general rather than 5 year olds getting married. Yes I do. There is no minimum age in Brunei or Kuwait although they do recommend that puberty is reached and the parents have to consent. In Yemen, girls at any age can be married but their husbands are supposed to wait until they are old enough to be deemed 'suitable' for sexual intercourse.

ANGELFIRE1 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Links? Hundreds of British children, some as young as five yeas old, are being forced into arranged marriages according to a report by the BBC. Poonam Taneja for the BBC Asian Network found that 29% of all forced marriage cases dealt with by the Foreign Office involved minors. Angel.
