Yes that's right, guys... She is just 8 years old. She doesn't know what does "marriage" mean. All that she knows ( what she needs to know at this age) are books, pencils, school and friends...
In Saudi Arabia, a father gave his daughter, who is 8 years old and has just started primary school, in marriage. But this is not a normal marriage because her father took 15000 $ as bride price ( The agreed upon amount of money or assets given to the bride's family at the time of engagement or before the wedding). According to this marriage agreement ; this little girl will not live conjogal life with this man till her 18s and continue to live with her family. But the bridegroom will be able to visit his "wife!" whenever he wants.
Thanks God, little girl's mother filed a legal action in order to annul this marriage. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE COURT RESULTED IT AGAINST HER! WHY? BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THAT "ONLY" FATHER IS RESPONSIBLE WITH THE DAUGHTER.
Can somebody tell me who give birth the child? Did he do it on his own? Is he the one who gave birth this little girl???
Woman rights... Where are they? She is just 8 years old...How can a father decide to "sell" his daughter as an item? I am really too frustrated about it and i can not understand what a huge conservative thought is that, what a great illiteracy against women...
Especially in east contries, unfortunately women are insignificant about anything and have no right to speak and give their opinion, as well.
I hope someone from European Court of Human Rights can hear this girl's voice and save her from this mess.
Unfortunately sometimes we come across the same absurd events like that in Turkey.
HEY THERE!!! WE ARE IN 21st CENTURY!!! Not in STONE AGE.
Ok, you can not become civilized, at least try to ACT AS CIVILIZED.
