Moderators IWS Posted May 1, 2009 Moderators Posted May 1, 2009 What does this say about society, when a loving marriage like this one, with so much potential, couldn't make it? 8-year-old Saudi girl divorces 50-year-old husband By HADEEL AL-SHALCHI, Associated Press Writer Hadeel Al-shalchi, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 34 mins ago CAIRO – An 8-year-old Saudi girl has divorced her middle-aged husband after her father forced her to marry him last year in exchange for about $13,000, her lawyer said Thursday. 8-year-old Saudi girl divorces 50-year-old husbandWe've come on some sad times. Quote One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.? ~ Thomas Sowell
jhony5 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Strange, the article didn't even mention sex. Which I would think is the first sickening thing to pop up in everyones head, ain't it? I know this is Saudi Arabia, but don't they have laws concerning sex with little prepubescent girls? Also, thought this was weird; One Saudi human rights activist Sohaila Zain al-Abdeen was optimistic that the girl's divorce would help efforts to get a law passed enforcing a minimum marriage age of 18. Thats a mighty big jump from, apparently, any age to 18. Frankly, I don't give two sh*ts what those backward jerks do in their dessert, so long as my gas stays at $2 a gallon. 1 Quote [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I'm better than normal. I'm abnormal.
