OMG.

That is so freaky.  And to think the brides' MOM is younger than I AM...OMG.

What I am so sorry to hear is this girl has not been in school since she was 9.  And that this is how the little girls in their culture are presented to men...all sexed up and this is WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!

"Girls as young as nine showed off bikini tops, high heels and make-up."

MY SON IS 10.  NO way in hell would he be able to speak to a girl wearing such attire.  My child IS A CHILD.  It is so sad and perverse that others cannot just let their chldren BE CHILDREN.  Let them experience the adult world when they are truly grown. 

Scary scary and imho parents should be arrested if they treat or abuse their daughters (and or sons too) in such a manner. 

It may be a cultural thing, but having LITTLE GIRLS walk around in stilettos, made up and wearing provocative attire is imho also abusive.  I can go along with most unique aspects of cultural differences, but when it comes to such things as mutilations to certain parts of the female body (as seen in some tribes) or child marriages (middle east or as in this case too), I am just sad for the children who are denied a childhood and some freedoms.

I am also a parent and when you become one, suddenly you feel so differently and more passionately about children all around you, not only your own. 

I'm not making fun of any culture nor would I ever do that.

I am outraged at the way young women were objectified in their own culture and how they were treated, being married young and denied proper education is imho abuse..nine year olds in stilettos and sexy attire and makeup? 

I don't care if you are from Mars or the moon...that is just wrong and to me, and constitutes child abuse.  In the USA we're only a few generations away from just getting the right to vote! My grandma still thinks it's so cool she can vote (she is almost 90)  My political affiliation would probably amaze you, but I am very much for equal rights for everybody...equal marriage rights and also love animals and protect their rights too.

There are lovely things about every culture that makes them unique and extraordinary.  It's not hard to find the beauty and uniqueness.  But I find it very hard to sometimes ignore the awful parts and the sad parts of some cultures/countries where its citizens are denied their rights and women are treated poorly.

Read this book (sent to me by my aunt) "Princess Sultana's Circle" and you will realize how precious a gift freedom and equal rights for women truly is.
