Child Marriage is an Organized Crime

The issue of early marriage now a day’s is still widespread in our modern life. Unfortunately, when it comes in our minds what are the reasons behind it, we end up talking about money, poverty and social culture .

I read an article in Sayidaty magazine about their investigation into the marriages of child brides and problems as how they managed to prevent the marriage of four child brides in the Eastern region.

How would you react to this when you hear a 14 year old girl was married twice to an old man and she’s a divorcee now? And the reasons that her family claims is she needs money and it’s not a wrong thing to do as our culture believes it’s best for the girl to marry at an early age.Ok, let me digest the following in my mind!!

Excuse me! You are trying to convince me by saying a 14 -year old girl is ready and capable of getting married and bein independent? She already understands what life is? She’s mature enough to make that big decision in her life. Right?

Sorry, but I believe that’s considered sickness

Is it wrong for a girl to live her childhood? Play out with her friends? Go to school and complete her education?

If she got married and divorced who cares about her? If her family dont't why would the society bother?

Just a question to every family who still supports child marriages, could you think for a while about how this innocent girl feels now? Especially when she compares herself with her friends who are enjoying their childhood? Were you not aware of the circumstances of what your hands made?

For men, or for a 50 year old man who accepts to marry a child, what shall I tell you? You are sick and a pervert!

For me, in now a days, I believe that early age marriages is between (22 – 25) were the girl have completed her education,started working and ready to start a new life. But trying to convince me that the age of 12 or 14 is an early age, it’s simply a crime and whoever accepts this on their children then they don’t deserve to have them.

If you don’t have responsibilities to take care of them, feed them and give them the education that they should have and open their eyes on life, why did you bring them to life?

So let me put it in this way, as a mom and dad you step back from doing so and you solve that by getting them married.

Sorry to say, you’re not making it any better when you marry them off.
