| Dead Yemeni child bride tied up, raped, says mom |
| 2010-04-10 |
| A 13-year-old Yemeni child bride who died shortly after marriage was tied down and raped by her husband, her mother said. Nijma Ahmed, 50, told the Associated Press late Friday that just before her daughter lost consciousness she described how her 23-year-old husband had tied her up and forced himself on her. She bled to death hours later. |

| #4 And just who gave that child into "marriage," Nijma? The tooth fairy? Or maybe it was YOU, you idiot. What made you think marrying off a 13-year-old girl to an adult man was a good idea? "Custom" and "tradition" be damned - you clowns need to drag yourselves (or be dragged) out of the 6th Century and into the 21st, you backward disgusting fools. >:-( |

| #2 I have worked alongside three palestinian arabs. One, from dearborn, MI was delighted that a marriage had been arranged for him, in palestine, with a 12 year old girl. |

| #1 I'm sure if they just put on some kind of awareness campaign that the whole problem will be solved in a few weeks. |
