Sharia Court Allows Malaysian Muslim Man To Keep 11 Year Old Girl, Child Bride He Married Without Consent, Fines Him £170
A 41-year-old Muslim man who already has two wives has been fined for marrying an underage girl without the permission of Sharia court.
Malaysia-based polygamist Che Abdul Karim Che Hamid married an 11-year-old girl without approval of the Sharia court or his two wives in June.
The marriage soon prompted an international fury with many Human Rights Organizations calling for his prosecution.
He was dragged to court where he was charged with solemnizing a marriage and polygamy without Sharia court’s permission.
Che Abdul Karim pleaded guilty at the Gua Musang syariah court in north-western Malaysia and was fined 900 Malaysian ringgits (RN) or £170 for each charge.
The illegal marriage was carried out by an Imam in Sungai Golok last month.
Abdul was allowed to keep his bride but was ordered to pay a fine of 900 Malaysian ringgits.
He promised not to touch his child bride until she is 16 year old.
An 11 year old girl deserves to be loved and cared for and not to go through this horror.
This is the height of moral decadence and selfishness.

Prophet Muhammad married a 9 year old girl. This practice is very common among Hausa people in Northern Nigeria. According to them, a girl’s first menstruation must occur in her husband’s house, which usually starts around the age of 12 years. I will never forget the day our Hausa friend Hauwa was whisked away crying bitterly on her wedding day at age 12, on the street I grew up in Surulere, Lagos. The sad memory has stuck with me ever since more than 40 years later. I feel sorry for those girls who never have a chance to grow up or enjoy their teenage years.

the issue of child marriage is not a matter confined to Muslims. Last week in the USA, I forgot which state. News came up that some women are fighting to raise Marriageable age for girls from current limit (12yrs).
I’m just wondering why this is an issue when it comes to Islam. I smell hypocrisy. You need to check US data on marriageable age by the states. Minimum age i see so far is 12yrs for women to marry. Just bcus it is not a norm in most part of Nigeria doesnt mean it is not valid

Dear Amanda, there’s nowhere in the USA where 12 year old girls or boys are permitted to marry, NEVER. Having sex with a girl under the age of 16 is a criminal offense punishable with imprisonment, unless the other participant is also a child under 16. When this happens, the parents are usually charged with child neglect, for failure to adequately supervise their children. I am a practicing attorney in New York. I honestly believe that Prophet Mohammed imposed his lifestyle on Muslims, having married 7 women himself. God can never ask men to marry 4 wives. The truth cannot be concealed forever, with due respect to his followers. May God grant us wisdom to discern God’s truth from false doctrines. Amen

Lola O thank you for schooling Amanda on marriage when it comes to USA. Having sex with a person 17 years and below is called “RAPE” and carries a 16 year mandatory sentence. Even having unconsented sex with a partner is also called rape. Maybe Amanda was referring to the USA she saw in her dreams.

Amanda, I am sure you are a learned woman from the way you comment but when it comes to Islam you let your Islamic belief becloud your sense of reason. Your blind support for prophet Mohammed puts a question mark if you will ever call a spade a spade. Many Islamic scholars know very well that prophet Mohammed made his followers to believe that it is okay to kidnap an underage girl to justify his rape of minors. I know a lot of moslem friends who married their wives when they are really matured and I am talking over 21 years. They will never give out their female child in marriage when they are under 18 years. They let them go to school. Amanda if you are married, did you marry when you were 12 years? if you are a mother will you give out your female child (children) in marriage at under 16 and not send them to school? being a learned woman, the answer is no but you will not let us know.

Nonsense. It is unfortunate that this platform is not design to accommodate picture uploads or attachments. That would have saved us argument. Just logon the net and you would see my point.
