forced and arranged marriages
195 Answers
Given the recent media coverage of kids as young as 5 been forced into muslim marriages can anyone tell me, is this practice condoned in the koran or is it a cultural thing?
Also, do people who practice this kind of thing have any sense of love and affection?
I dont want an anti islam thread here, Im just curious as to why anyone would want to marry a 5 year old girl. Im well aware that in years gone by that child marriage existed in the UK. Still cant get my head around it though, just because it once happened here.
Thanks.

Nor me – but Mohammed's history is the reason he won’t denounce this practice.
//Please tell me, to whom are you referring in your statement of 08:45 Wed 11th Apr 2012?//
I note he’s avoided answering that too. I didn’t miss it, but I knew it was futile to ask him to explain it.
VE is right. With Sith, we are all wasting our breath..

naomi, i have given an answer. I have said i do not agree with it. It is written clearly. yet for some reason you cannot see it or perhaps you do not want to see it. if that is the case, than how is it me who has the problem when my answer is clearly written. It is most clearly you who has a problem. oh, BUT WAIT, I UNDERSTAND. i HAVE NOT ANSWERED IT THE WAY YOU WOULD LIKE IT. I HAVE ANSWERED WITH MY OPINION WHICH OF COURSE, FOR YOU NAOMI IS WRONG AS ONLY YOUR OPINION IS CORRECT. I think that is probably the most clearest thing i have learnt about you.
Sith - “... every thread i have been involved in i have always answered the question with my opinion. What, to you, is a rational argument? do i have to agree with you? accept your beliefs?...”
A 'rational argument' is one that makes logical sense. What do you understand by the term 'rational argument'?
Your above statement is rather foolish. If you had read my posts you would know that I don't expect you to accept by beliefs. What I expect you to do is be honest and admit when you have contradicted yourself or been found to be stretching the truth. This is not a matter of me or anyone else misunderstanding your posts – we understand them completely and what we see are lies and contradictions. For instance, on a previous thread which mentioned children marrying grown men you stated that you disagree with such a practice unless the child agrees to the union. I (and others) pointed out that a child cannot give their consent to such a union. When I (and others) asked you about the apparent contradiction you refused to accept that any contradiction existed and simply *shouted* this rather ridiculous reply, “... I HAVE NOT ANSWERED IT THE WAY YOU WOULD LIKE IT. I HAVE ANSWERED WITH MY OPINION... ONLY YOUR OPINION IS CORRECT” [06:59 Thu 19th Apr 2012]

Since you're calling me and others 'pathetic', please allow me to retort. What is truly lamentable is your assertion that it is somehow our fault that you're incapable of holding a rational debate.
