If cases happen in the UK/Europe then we are in a position to do something about it.
However, imposing our beliefs on other nations is no better than them imposing theirs on us; and I dont think we would like that would we?
Eddie, the oil card is always played, usually by you, for any middle eastern country. Have you not realized yet, after all the Syrian problem, that interference by the West in the middle east is really not a good idea. Unless you are advocating WW3. I could counter your argument by suggesting that if we invaded Saudi to change their ways (the only way you would ever do it) then all the oil would become the West's. Yes ludicrous suggestion isn't it.

Once again it is not a racial issue ie the usual ploy taken if one attacks various nationals, it is once again a cultural issue, and it is such cultural issues that are being imported into this country on a daily basis.
That is what we must all guard against, in so much as nothing anywhere like this happens in this country.

You're right but, in this case, nobody's saying that we expect other nations to change their laws. They only seem to be saying "don't let this sort of behaviour be introduced over here". I may be wrong to extrapolote from that but I think it's part of the baggage attached to Sharia Law.
That is to say, if we allow them to run their own legal-system-with-a-system where they discipline their own adherents and, when events like this crop up, fail to discipline perverts like this one, then our own Police and CPS would be left standing on the sidelines, unable to intervene.
What we really need, at times like these is someone (or several) who has grown up with Western sensibilities yet has gained -deep and detailed- understanding of everything that Sharia courts might permit which we would find abhorrent -before- we finally give it the nod.
Before I forget, one of those news stories does go on to say that the Yemeni authorities are to conduct their own investigation, with a rider to the effect that nobody in the (remote) village where this happened is acknowledging that anything ever happened.
Now I think about it, I am amazed that a story this damaging leaked out at all.

* extrapolate from that...
* system-within-a-system
* someone... to give it a once-over before we give it the nod
Good addition to the thread, jakep
The stories so far were that the Yemeni government tried to pass a bill to raise the age of marriage to 18 but backed down in the face of protests. The page you linked to now says that they used to have 15 as the legal minimum but scrapped that in the 1990s, so as "to let families decide for themselves".
Fascinating to see there is no love lost between the Yemenis - so poor some of them have to sell their own daughters - and the 'loadsamoney' Saudis.
