Saudi Arabia marriage for girls 12 and 13 years of age

[reasonvemotion]

Saudi Arabia is the only Arab country that has not stipulated the age of marriage for a boy or a girl, and there are no accurate statistics on the number of underage marriages.


It is necessary to "review fathers’ guardianship of children older than nine years, especially after it has been confirmed that all child marriages were planned by the father while the mother’s role was non-existent."

Is there not an issue here of Human Rights?

Khalid - this one is for you.

[Kayla]

in all fairness to khalid, saudi arabia is not typical of the islamic world

for that matter the arab world is not typical of the islamic world

there are more muslims in indonesia than there are arabs in the entire world

Minimum age to marry below

Saudi Arabia: None currently

Sudan: Puberty, with requirement for willing consent of both parties

Yemen: In practice, "Yemeni law allows girls of any age to wed, but it forbids sex with them until the indefinite time they’re 'suitable for sexual intercourse'."[58] Following the widely publicised divorce of a 10 year-old girl in 2008, there have been public and parliamentary efforts to raise the age.

Also, in these countries homosexuality is punishable by death.

Ask the Vatican - the ago of consent is 12.

[ForgedinHell]

The highest court in Saudi Arabia has legalized marriages between middle-aged men and eight-year-old girls. This was based on Islam, because the so-called prophet, muhamMAD, married a girl who was six, and had full intercourse with her when she was nine. She was his favorite wife. What this means is that islam legalizes child rape and slavery in the 21st century. No child can consent, she is just mere property being sold to her "husband." Of course, normally this would be an outrage, but there are people, especially Chaz, who believe that the mooseslums should be supported because they hate the "evil Jews," "evil Israel," and the "evil USA." If we could eliminate the world from religiotards and socialist scum, then we would see the child-raping movement called islam come to an end.

Can. Law 1058 - All persons who are not prohibited by law can contract marriage.

Which can be interpreted as the Catholic Church would typically respect the secular laws of the country in which it operates. For Italians, the age of marriage with parental consent is 16, without is 18. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriageable_age

The teaching module, Age of Consent Laws http://chnm.gmu.edu/cyh/teaching-modules/230, by Stephen Robertson of the University of Sydney summarises that after

More than 800 years after the first recorded age of consent laws, the one constant is the lack of consistency. Laws around the world define the socially appropriate age of consent anywhere from 13 to 18.

The Age of Consent Laws table only covers from 1880 to the present day but can still make interesting reading.
