[quote] [b]Child bride in Yemen dies of internal bleeding on wedding night: activist[/b]
(Reuters) - An eight-year-old Yemeni girl died of internal bleeding on her wedding night after marrying a man five times her age, a social activist and two local residents said, in a case that has caused an outcry in the media and revived debate about child brides.
Arwa Othman, head of Yemen House of Folklore and a leading rights campaigner, said the girl, identified only as Rawan, was married to a 40-year-old man late last week in the town of Meedi in Hajjah province in northwestern Yemen.
"On the wedding night and after intercourse, she suffered from bleeding and uterine rupture which caused her death," Othman told Reuters. "They took her to a clinic but the medics couldn't save her life."[/quote]

Progressive country. No pedophilia!
But if serious, this is bullshit on so many levels. It depresses a bit that there are countries which are in such a dire state people sell their daughters to survive.
This shit usually goes on a lot more than you'd imagine. There's also something like a rule that he cannot have sex with her until she reaches a certain age if she's younger than ten years old. This "decided age" isn't all that better - usually 12 to 14 years old.
Saw a clock, went checking the date of publication. I'm really sorry, this popped up at delfi (Estonian Internet source) yesterday, so I thought this was fresh to share :(.
Regardess of late it's still fucking tragic

Don't worry, after reading these news I also had to check my clock.
To see if it were 500 AD
How can anybody think this is ok? Do they not actually realise over there that girls of that age are not sufficiently developed enough to have sex?

They just don't give a shit about age. They see their wife as an object.

They should still be able to know that if your dick is the size of her torso, you shouldt put it in there.
"Revived debate about child brides"

You don't need to go back that far. The age of consent was 7 in Delaware, America in 1880.
I also posted this in the last thread but this but the girl was 8, the age of consent in Yemen is 9. This was already illegal.
