It is a terrible practice that must be ended. How can a child be expected to care for a child?

There is no place in civilized society for the early or forced marriage of children. In other words forced marriage is inhumane and unacceptable. Therefore, such marriage needs to be banned.

Thank you, Dr. Arvind Singh for your nice contribution. I do agree with you that shch marriages should be banned and denounced wherever they occur. Best regards. Hazim.

It is a terrible practice that must be ended. How can a child be expected to care for a child?

I think it is a bad idea and it is wide used in the Arab world.

end of life

Those persons involve in arranging such marriages are CRIMINALS.

If anybody support it, s/he is also a criminal.

If any govt. fail to prepare law against such marriage, it should be kept totally banned from the outer world.

Such contry can not be considered as a civilized country.

There should be a heavy penalty imposed on the parent who forces a marriage for financial or other rewards. Anyone reporting such a crime will be asked to contact the police who will be forced to prosecute.

unfortunately, it is a bad tradition

Deliberately forcing something on someone is surely atrocious and unethical. I strongly condemn atrocities against women and children be it- physical or mental abuse.

Forcing teenagers into marriage is like sending their hearts into prison or captivity. Love is a choice and comes from heart.

Dear Dr Hazim Al Dilaimy

I think it creates a serious mental hazards in human life . It shouldn't be in the civilized nations though its randomly happens in the under developed and the country and/or society with religious fanaticism.

The human heart was not built to withstand forces of this nature.

Such kind of behaviour should be taken as a criminal offence and offenders should be dealt with accord to the law of the land.

 Such a marriage does not take into account differences, level of awareness or cultural level (if any). Many human rights organizations and international institutions working within this framework have expressed their concern about the occurrence of such marriages, which deprive women of their most basic rights. Not for a stage or is not considered as an immediate but for a shared life borne by the parties to the good and bad and here lies the beauty of this common life !.

  The results of such a forced marriage are very serious and exceed the limits of harm to a specific individual and may even exceed the limits of a broader and more comprehensive The social researchers and interested in this case that the woman in such a situation would hate her husband and may seek to get rid of him by killing or trying to escape from injustice and And when it is tolerated and did not act with folly or folly, the situation of the siege and pressure that will befall him will not be able to do her duty as a mother and an educator is suffering from anxiety and fear and mistrust and other psychological things prevent the performance of its task properly and here is the great disaster because the subsequent generations are Which s Fuel society and contribute to the development process !, when women are not emotionally stable, psychologically and socially, this will reflect on the stability of the family is straightforward and this will limit thus energy

It is Pathetic and Criminal

It is evil and should be criminalized in our world today. Women should not be forced into marriage in their teens age. This should be condemned.

It should be banned and made illegal world-wide. The UN should declare that crimes against children. One needs to be an adult (18 or older) to consent to marriage so that their brains are devloped more and they could make their own rational decisions whether to marry or not. The brain is fully developed by 25 and in the USA the legal drinkign age is 21.

Children should be allowed to go to school before they are allowed to decide on marriage.

What is your opinion about children or forced marriage?

This is a despicable mistake made by parents knowing their children are young & don't know how to decide in which they decide on their behalf with personal agenda sipped in. Children should wait till they grow up to make their own final decision on marriage so that they will be responsible for the consequence of their decision. Children or forced marriage is analogous to parents forcing their children to study certain educational courses that can yield negative outcomes to their children e.g. dropout, suicidal etc.

And yet in spite of universal condemnation, thankfully, here on RG, these practices go on to this day. Someone must be in favor of them? Why? How can it make sense?

Although having asked that, it is not all that unusual for people of a certain mentality to think, this is the way it was done when I was a child, so what's wrong with it? Something I've always found to be deeply frustrating. Call it, "formula-think." It is easier not to think things through. Just keep turning the crank.

Thank you, Dr. Albert Mnfredi for your thoughtful answer. Best regards. Hazim.

Thank you very much, Drs. Imran Hanif and Djaafar Zemali for your interesting answers. Best regards. Hazim.

I agree with Han Ping Fung

Dear Hazim Al Dilaimy

In my opinion child marriage is a major violation of girls' human rights.

Child marriage harms girls’ rights to health, education, equality and a life free from violence and exploitation. These rights are enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), and other international and regional human rights instruments.

Thank you very much, Drs. Iman Kareem & Mohammad Mehdizade for your nice contributions. Best regards. Hazim.

This is an unjust act. They have the right to decide where and when they want to marry.

Thank you very much, Marwa Firas Abdullah Al Rawe for your interesting answer. Best regards. Hazim.

Poverty is one of the causes of early marriage

The incidence of poverty in some areas leads to parents marrying their daughters to reduce excess expenses of food, clothing and education. Some of them also sell their children; by marriage, either to settle debt or to earn money and escape poverty through increased family income; Can provide the family with a larger foal.

Thank you very much, Djaafar Zemali for your excellent answer. Best regards. Hazim.

For fear of forced abductions

In some places from Asia Minor, the Caucasus and parts of Africa; among different peoples such as Tzeltal in Mexico, kidnapping is a means of acquiring a wife. A man abducts a girl on her way to school or market to rape her until she is pregnant and easy to get As a wife, and although there are laws prohibiting forced marriage after the girl's abduction, many families agree, ignoring existing laws.

Thank you very much,Dr. Djaafar Zemali for your nice contribution. Best wishes. Hazim.

Child marriage and forced marriages are in contradiction to both the divine laws and also human right laws.

Thank you very much, Dr. Abdullah Noori for your interesting answer.
