Actually, when our man from the dutch government wanted a cartoonmatch about Allah, Pakistan was demonstrating, treatened to sent the dutch ambassador home and attack us dutch people anywhere. So the cartoonmatch was called off.
I think if we western people stand up and demonstrate and threaten the countries where this is legal, maybe we can help these children. Complaining on the internet doesn't help. It must be a worldwide demonstration. Then the governments of all countries has to listen.

mollybaby: I don't think by the reaction of people, it is being glorified.
People have a right to know, and to react.
But it is a good idea to do full research. In many countries, it is not now legal for these marriages to take place. So it is not condoned officially. Many countries are trying to protect childhoods and do not get the recognition they deserve. Yes, it can still happen in these countries, as many areas, especially rural areas, are slow to change traditions. But at least the policies are in place.
I don't like topics that are just there to make a headline like tabloid newspapers. So a more balanced approach should be taken.
There's no discussion or debate , regarding the morality of tis topic . As far as I'm concerned, it glorifies the act & is an advertisement for those who wish to pursue it!

Do you really think that any paedo who wants to marry a child is waiting for a thread on CS before doing it?
I know you have issues with the OP, and I have my own, but I still believe that knowledge is power, no matter who posts it.
