If I’m correct, one of Muhammad’s wives was
a nine-year-old girl. Wikipedia says: “According
to traditional sources, Aisha
was six years old when she was married to the prophet (Muhammad) and nine when she
formally married him and lived together for nine years. ‘Formal marriage” includes sexual intercourse
on the wedding night.”
I hear that words
and deeds of Muhammad are a paragon of Muslim.
It indicates what an immense influence religion has. What’s wrong is wrong whoever you may be,
even if you are Muhammad. Earth appears
to be really a special star. There is no
other star like Earth where so many Monads (souls) have disappeared.

Yemen’s Minister of Human Rights Hooria
Mashhour called for the parliament to resuscitate the abolished old law and
officially prohibit the marriage of underage girls.
According to CNN TV, this proposal was triggered
by the death of an eight-year-old girl from injuries on
the first night of her marriage.
According to Yemen’s mass media, a girl
named Rawan ruptured several internal organs including uterus due to sexual
intercourse on her wedding night and had a hemorrhage, which led to death.
The Haradh municipality takes a stance to
side with the husband of the girl (40) and Mohammed Ahmed, the head of Haradh’s
police department, makes a statement that the testimonies of local people are “groundless”
rumors and the accusation against her husband is “baseless.”
This incident has caused a great controversy among the international community and
Yemen’s society. There have been cases in which underage girls die due to
early marriage in the country.
According to the investigation of Human Rights Watch, half of girls in
Yemen are married before the age of 18 and about 14 percent of girls are forced
to be married before 15.
