What would you think if you had to marry someone that you didnt want to? What would you think if your husband gave your eight year daughter to a forty eight year old year old man, for a debt that needed to be paid? Though i have no kids of my own; i know that there would be hell to pay for such an act. I would have to be six foot under before a husband of mine would give my baby girl to marraige for a debt that he owed or for any reason as far as that goes.

In Saudi Arabia, this young child was forced in marraige with a forty seven year old for a debt that had to be paid. The childs mother had no idea of such thing for the childs parents are divorced and the dad has custody. The mother had tried to have the marraige anulled and could not pull it off cause she had no custody. The judge said that after the girl could end the marraige after she reached the puberty stage. What a bunch of crap!

There has been announcements and new laws made that state that the laws will regulate child marraiges because of child abuse, but does not actually say that these types will be against the law though. so in this case they could still go on. A child should not have to pay for a parents mistakes at all.
