QUOTE A Yemeni court has granted a divorce to an eight-year-old girl whose unemployed father forced her into an arranged marriage this year, saying he feared she might be kidnapped. In response to a question from Judge Mohammed al-Qadhi, he acknowledged that the "marriage was consummated, but I did not beat her". http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/04...?section=justin Well isn't he a regular Prince F  Charming. This just flat pisses me off in ways I can't even describe here.

Just the fact that it was a legal marriage just don't set right, does it?

That father needs his @$$ kicked. Pimping out his own daughter tells you what kind of man he is.

I know there are different marriage customs throughout the world but this is way beyond reason. There aren't words I can even use here to describe what I think should be done to them.

Maybe this is a little off-topic, but I see this as similiar to the whole polygamy thing going on in that camp. What are your thoughts?
