Here is another shining example of how the religion of peace treats women. Like cattle. This poor girl has been robbed of her childhood,thanks to her father using her to pay off a friend. But leftards and islamo-apologists would have you believe islam liberated women. Right.

8-year-old girl’s marriage ruled legal

ONAIZA, Saudi Arabia, April 12 (UPI) — A Saudi Arabian judge has refused to overturn a ruling that declared the arranged marriage of an 8-year-old girl to a 47-year-old man legal, a relative says.

The judge, Sheikh Habib Habib, ruled for the second time Saturday in Onaiza that the girl’s marriage to a friend of her father’s was legal and binding. He said the child wife could file for divorce once she reached puberty, CNN reported.

An unnamed relative of the girl told the broadcaster that Habib, who first refused to annul the marriage last year, reconsidered the case upon the girl’s mother’s appeal. The mother’s attorney, Abdullah Jutaili, said the girl’s father arranged the marriage with his “close friend” to pay off a monetary debt.

The relative said the girl’s mother, who is divorced from the father, will continue to seek to overturn the marriage. An appeals court in Riyadh will reportedly consider the case again in a hearing set for next month.

Zuhair Harithi of the Saudi Human Rights Commission told CNN child marriages in the country must be fought, saying they “violate international agreements that have been signed by Saudi Arabia and should not be allowed.”

Note the mother of the child is divorced from the father, and what happens? She loses custody of her child, and is forced to watch as her daughter is sold into marriage.

    I would like to ask my American friends in this website to answer this question:

    How will you explain such monstrosity to your kids,for they're being taught at
    their high schools that Islam isn't a violent,creepy,pedophile-friendly,death
    cult?
    American textbooks are so inaccurate,biased,leftist and revisionists that you all
    should take extreme care about what your kids are learning;

    One day,you might see the Old Glory that once was proudly waving at your
    front porch,BURNING in your lawn whilst your kids wearing CHE GUEVARA
    T-shirts will be laughing madly with a lighter in their hands...
