From the Great Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the "very religious" proponents of child marriage in Nigeria: "To be frank, I want to say that the marriage of minor girls amounts to a murder of innocence and violation of childhood…it is an already losing deal,” says Zuhair Al Harthi, a member of Shura. “These little girls are being subject to crimes involving manipulation, quick profit and mere pleasure…they are not capable yet of shouldering the burden of marriage nor can they even realize its meaning....” At its session last week, the Shura finally endorsed Harthi proposal and asked the ministry of justice to enact a law restricting such marriages. "Shura agreed proposals to draft a law introducing curbs on child marriage,” a statement said. “The law will force sheikhs and maazouns (Moslem scholars and marriage performers) to abide by the new curbs.” What are we saying pls???? emirates247/news/child-marriage-is-murder-of-innocence-2011-06-02-1.400336
