"Nothing Wrong" With 80-Year-Old Man Marrying 11-Year-Old Girl

Saudi Arabia: 80-year-old man marries 11-year-old girl

"There is no law that prohibits the marriage of a girl under 18," says the randy old goat, and he's right. After all, Muhammad did it:

"The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)." -- Bukhari 7.62.88

It seems likely that this is the same case as the one we reported about here, although it could conceivably be a similar but different case of child marriage. "Saudi activists outraged as man marries 11 yr old," from Al-Arabiya, January 17 (thanks to Sr. Soph):

DUBAI (Al Arabiya) News of a Saudi octogenarian marrying an eleven-year-old girl has outraged human rights activists amid calls on the government to regulate the marriage of underage girls, local media reported Saturday.

The Saudi National Human Rights Commission formed a committee to investigate the marriage, which activists consider a flagrant violation of human and children rights, the Saudi newspaper al-Riyadh said.

The marriage registrar, who was widely criticized since he agreed to seal the marriage contract knowing the girl's age, absolved himself of any blame.

"There is no law that prohibits the marriage of a girl under 18," he told the paper. "Plus, I summoned the girl and she declared her consent and signed the contract."...

The father, who took 85,000 riyals (more than $22,000) in dowry, defended his decision to marry off his 11-year-old daughter even though his wife vehemently objected.

"I don't care about her age," he told the paper. "Her health and her body build make her fit for marriage. I also don't care what her mother thinks."

Of course not. Why should he?

The father added that marriage at such an early age has been a custom in the Saudi society for a very long time and that he saw no reason why it should be a problem now.

"This is a very old custom and there is nothing wrong with it whether religiously or socially."...

As for the bride, she just called for help as she burst into tears.

"Save me. I don't want him," she cried.

Come on guys,he's 80 years old!!!...... Do you seriously think he's a treat to sexually abuse this girl? Unless they have some "special secret potions" in that country that we are unfamiliar with here in the US,it will all be in his head....
The fact that he can marry her is totally wrong and completely out of line,but can he do anything with her except play with her dolls,that's about all he has left to offer her.......

Hefner's 83.

Hmmm. Maybe that's what they mean by "fountain of youth".

Well, with today's medicine, he'll be able to get his weapon into action... and yes, that 83 year old man is going to be traumatizing to that 11 year old.

I mean, Hefner's still swinging from chandeliers and such at his age... but he's dealing with legal girls who actually CHOOSE to be with him.

This guy bought an 11 year old girl for a toy. Pure and simple.

Treat, I doubt it. Threat, possibly.

The term "dowry" - should have been "bride price." No matter what you call it, it's a sick and greedy culture that allows the selling of a woman (or girl).

I don't believe that little 11-y/o girl knew or understood what she "consented" to or that she freely consented. May that old fart drop dead before he gets his hands on her.

I nearly always use preview. I'm embarrassed at how much "stuff" gets through from me. There is so much that passes spell check and during preview I read what I meant, not what is really there. It's just that your typo provided some potential for amusement. I hope you smiled.

How old was Charlie Chaplin when he fathered a child?

He just paid thousands of dollars for a young bride.

Don't you think he can afford a couple blue pills?

There is a certain age you attain where those blue pills can't help you at all........
As far as Tony R is concerned,and as well as Charlie C, they like Anthony Quinn "really believe" they fathered those kids!!!!!

Like Brush Okie said there are plenty of other ways to molest young girls. The idea that he bought her means that he has plans... Another example of the scum baggetry (my own word) of Islam.

Those actors "believed" because they performed some kind of act involving penetration, correct?

The blue pills have always been my Plan B. So far Plan A is still working. Are you telling me I now need a Plan C.
