Default Child bride turned over to 80-year-old husband

A 10-year-old bride was returned last Sunday to her 80-year-old husband by her father who discovered her at the home of her aunt with whom she has been hiding for around 10 days.

A local newspaper said the husband, who denies he is 80 in spite of claims by the girl’s family, accused the aunt of meddling in his affairs. “My marriage is not against Shariah. It included the elements of acceptance and response by the father of the bride,” he said.

He added that he had been engaged to his wife’s elder sister and that this broke off as she wanted to continue with her education. “In light of this, her father offered his younger daughter. I was allowed to have a look at her according to Shariah and found her acceptable,” he said.

Maatouq Al-Abdullah, a member of the National Society for Human Rights (NSHR), said there is no system in place regulating the marriage of young girls, something that he said results in adverse psychological, health and social effects.

“Such marriages are considered a gross violation of charters on the rights of children, which the Kingdom has signed and which set the age of adulthood at 18,” he added.

If it wasn't so revolting, it would be grotesquely funny.

Once again time after time you read this stories in the newspapers.
and YES nothing is done for these poor children after all.
Yes are still children.
Any where else in the world they will be locked up and the key thrown away.
and end up in solitary cos the rest of the inmates will Linch them.

This is so sad. But my anger is directed at her father who offered her in place of her sister - not the 80 year old man. He probably just wants someone to cook and clean for him. At least I hope so...

He wouldn't have needed a look see if she was only to cook and clean. Besides, that what the maid is for.

The Father should be hanged, very slowly and in the full heat of the summer sun.

This is sick.

Completely agree. Most fathers go running for their guns when their daughter pitches up with her first boyfriend in tow. So how any man, who hands over his 10 year old daughter to an 80 year old man, can call himself a father is beyond me. It turns my stomach.

I have a ten year old daughter - she's asleep on the lounge right now - she looks about three......this is just too awful to contemplate.
