Can we allows moderate snipes at the religion of peace?
Its more of an enemy than a religion....
SANAA (Reuters) - A Yemeni court ordered the marriage of an eight-year-old girl terminated on Tuesday because she had not reached puberty.
The court also ordered the child's family to pay about $250 in compensation to the 30-year-old ex-husband.
The girl's lawyer and human rights activist Shatha Nasser said the minor had filed a suit in April asking for divorce and told the court that her husband had been physically abusing her and forcing her to have "sex with him after hitting her."
One of the people attending the trial volunteered to pay the compensation, the lawyer said, but did not explain the reason why the court ordered the compensation.
The ruling terminated the marriage instead of granting a divorce to prevent the husband from seeking to reinstate the marriage, according to the lawyer.

Re: Islam
This appears at the top of the Off-Topic sub-forum.This off-topic thread is NOT an "anything goes" area. It was created for threads like the emergency preparedness and others that have given the Moderators a great deal of headaches trying to find a way not to have to delete them. It absolutely is not a place to discuss/argue religion, immigration/border protection, or any other hot-button political issue. There are plenty of other boards for these subjects.
