Quote# 37623

There is no minimum marriage age for either men or women in Islamic law. The law in many countries permits girls to marry only from the age of 18. This is arbitrary legislation, not Islamic law. Why? Because there might be cases in which it is impossible to keep the girl [single] until the age of maturity. [...] In some Islamic countries, the age of maturity can be 8 or 10 years. In Yemen, a girl might get her period at the age of 8. In cold countries, such as Russia, Belarus, Scandinavia, New Zealand, Canada, and so on, a girl might not reach maturity until she is 22 years old. She might not get her period until then.

Takes a fundie to find some way to twist words so he can diddle a young child.

This 'age of maturity' being so delayed in cold countries is such a crock of shit. You will say anything to justify child rape.

"This is arbitrary legislation, not Islamic law."

Not really that arbitrary. 18 is the age where complications due to childbirth become minimal, and the age at which both males and females are, on average, deemed to be mature enough to make their decisions regarding sexuality (and to basically be smart enough to not be exploited by men who want to marry 8 to 10 year old girls).

Basically, just because they can bear children doesn't mean that they should, and just because Islamic law does not forbid you from having sex with whomever you please does not give you the freedom to do so in countries where the secular law says otherwise.

One of my family members was raped when she was 8.

Is that old enough to stone her for sexual impurity as well, according to your religion? Just asking.

Ah, the old "If it's old enough to bleed, it's old enough to breed" argument.

Well, just because something is technically possible doesn't make it right.

example:
It's technically quite possible to remove your head from your torso with a swift stroke of a sharp blade, but I bet you'll think that's not quite fair or right.

And I would tend to agree with you, but as you are obviously unable to see that your statement mega-sucks for little girls that are emotionally not quite ready for married live yet (and won't be for some years)...
I'd say,... what the heck, let's give beheading a try in your case, it sounds like a win/win situation for humanity to me.

BTW, As a real Dutchman I'm willing to compromise, cutting of your balls will be fine by me too, provided its done with two bricks and without anesthetic.

Anyone ever notice that most pedophiles hide behind their religion as an excuses to do these things?

It's true that temperatures affect average age of first menstration, not going to lie about that one. In the US, southern girls average about a year earlier than girls in the north.

I doubt the extremes of 8 to 22 as "typical" though I know there is s wide range.

Even if that kind of range were typical, and all the girls in Saudi Arabia or whatever fucked up country he's living in are biologically women, they are not mentally women. They're 3rd graders. And old men need to back the fuck off of 3rd graders.

That's gross. Just gross. Find someone closer to your own age.

And New Zealand isn't a "cold country."

Physical maturity is irrelevant, you shallow man. Emotional maturity is the primary reason why most age-related laws exist, in particular this one.

I like how he later goes on to say in "stupid countries" you rarely find girls aged 10-12 who are still virgins. Riiiiiiight.

He is right about temperature affecting menstruation but his range is way off.

The only reason Islamic law lets girls get married before puberty is just another way to control women. The earlier they get married, the less time they have to develop critical thinking skills and learn to think for themselves.

What is the obsession these fundamentalist Muslims have with young girls? A lot of their beliefs make me think Mohamed himself must have had a thing for little girls and propagated it through his religion.

I'm all for people under the age of 18 having the right to choose to have sex if they want. But eight? Are you stupid, or just insane?

How to view women from an Islamic perspective:

1) Picture a set of hovering ovaries.

2) Mentally add in all the other body parts as a support system for those ovaries.

3) Beat the casing that the ovaries are wrapped in for learning to read.

4) Praise Allah.

"Because there might be cases in which it is impossible to keep the girl [single] until the age of maturity."

Read: impossible for him to restrain himself long enough from raping her.

I don't care if a girl gets her period when she's 2. She's still a child, and as a child, she has no business giving birth to one. She has no business being married off to a disgusting, perverted freak who is old enough to be her father or grandfather. She has no business being forced to undergo the trials and practices of adulthood when she should be enjoying her childhood instead. Get a life, you revolting pedophile.

Temperature has nothing to do with sexual maturity.

old enough to bleed does not mean she's old enough to breed.

Responsible dog breeders don't even breed on the first season. In some breeds not until the female is 2-3 years old. But of course, human women aren't worth as much as a dog in your eyes are they.

Mohammad was a pedophile. He married Aisha at 6 and consummated the marriage when she was 9.

Islamic law will have to be vastly improved it it wishes to reach the status of "barbaric."
