Its a much better culture than that of a 'hole in the sheet'... Its a much better culture than that in which every other day a Rabbi is arrested for sexual misconduct.... Its a much better culture than that whose president is currently serving time in Jail for rape and sexual misconduct... Need I say more?

I guess he's still waiting for his growth spurt.

Women in Arab nations have less rights than a dog on the street. Child abuse is the correct term.

There is NO such listing of age.... Idiot.

oh, you crazy Germans, how many wars have you lost to date? Just finished paying WW1's reparation's.... Keep working, now you'll pay for your Muslims... and the rest of Europe's debts. LOL

Unlike Western nations, you have a Virtue police and really punish those girls who intimate, even if by forced rape. Since there is no stigma on a man for divorcing his wife, there is no guarantee that this new husband won't dump his new wife in the near future. No matter which culture, a teenager is not emotionally mature to handle most things in life effectively, including marriage and parenthood.

especially in a culture where divorce does not stigmatize the man, only the woman. Perhaps after a divorce, she'll find herself a nice 60 year old looking for another wife.

So Hamas is encouraging younger and younger marriage.

The answer is that in the Muslim culture conjugal relations are prohibited outside matrimony and as #20 says, the boys face says it all! Also birth control is frowned upon in Islam so the young couple will hopefully be blessed with offspring before the year is out as a girl of 15 is likely to be very fertile. Good luck!
