The patriarchal society descended from nomadic pastoral systems does not realize the extent of the crime it commits against the girl or child who is married off, i.e., raped, and for whom school and playing with her friends is the natural space, As for the males who find pleasure in raping girls, they also have their natural space in mental hospitals or rather in prisons,These represent an imminent danger to humanity, and for the safety of humanity, they must be quarantined to avoid their evils.
Rigid jurisprudence and Bedouin tradition still focus on women as children, on their bodies and minds,All of these are things that the traditional Bedouin jurisprudential or male mind cannot willingly relinquish, These are the animalistic male privileges that have not changed despite the changing times, and which are invoked from the mentality of Bedouin pastoral war spoils, Everything that the Bedouin obtains by hunting, stealing, extortion by the sword, or by trickery is an acquired right for him, and that child whom he paid for or reserved for himself, like Aisha who was married at the age of six, was a natural right for him! Like war spoils!
We do not have accurate statistics on child marriage or rape in this region, but the similarity between the Syrian and Iraqi situations has placed us in a painful and embarrassing position,In Iraq, social researcher Saja Abdul-Ridha presented statistics stating that 30% of marriages in Iraq were with minors, i.e., rape. Therefore, child marriage is important for those who oppose it and for those who support it, Those who oppose it have failed to reduce it, and those who support it have succeeded in increasing it… unfortunately! The increase in the number of child marriage cases in the current era in this region indicates the existence of economic, social, and material conditions that perpetuate this practice, in addition to the existence of a deficient awareness and a terrible savagery in this regard.
The growing phenomenon of child marriage raises several questions, including the circumstances that permit and encourage such marriages—in other words, their rape—and the consequences of these marriages, There are also questions about how to address this phenomenon, Are the circumstances primarily economic? What role does religion play in the trend toward child marriage? Is there any connection to the role model Aisha? Regarding the consequences, are there any positive aspects to marrying a minor, or is the whole matter negative? As for solutions, is there any solution at all under a law that permits it and under compelling circumstances that force this type of marriage? Who opposes prohibiting child marriage, and why? And who supports child marriage, and why?
The late Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah expressed the opinion of the Shiite religious establishment regarding the rape or marriage of minors,Nasrallah promoted this matter,We believe that other religious establishments agree with Nasrallah’s Shiites regarding the marriage or rape of underage girls, Nasrallah saw that early marriage is the proper way to ensure the sexual and psychological stability of women and men, which will preserve society and contribute to building the ideal family. How is that, Hasiko?!
This “ideal” family represents the path to victory in religious groups, Numerical superiority secured the necessary human element for military success in the past, when victory in war was linked to numerical superiority,The paradox today lies in the invalidity of the importance of numerical superiority for victory in wars, Moreover, numerical superiority is necessary for electoral success! However, the logic of this numerical superiority is linked to a false premise, Numerical superiority is only necessary in a tribal society when the political-sectarian position is inherited, and when this numerical superiority is bound by the position of the clan leader. To achieve this, it is necessary to pass through the womb. The solution regarding wars and the ballot box requires the hybridization of women and confining them within the reproductive pen to secure the required number as ammunition in wars, and as a controlling factor in the ballot boxes in elections, knowing that there are no elections in those tribal, clan-based, cave-dwelling societies.
There is no doubt that many young women dream of an early “marriage of happiness” for many reasons, including sexual, economic, or social reasons, This is noticeable in them at an early age, as the girl is offered for marriage as merchandise is offered for sale, with encouragement from parents, relatives, and the social environment in which the girl lives, They are buried alive, killed by traditions, ignorance, and poverty, They escaped from one prison to another!
The goal of declaring the world on October 11th of each year the International Day of the Girl Child is to prevent or reduce child marriage, i.e., their rape, which sociology in general considers a disaster parallel to the disaster of poverty, The economic incentive is the incentive for child marriage and rape, The International Day of the Girl Child uses the word “girl” to describe every girl who has not reached the age of eighteen, The International Day of the Girl Child considers these marriages to be rape and a practice of trafficking in girls, like trafficking in things and consumer goods.
It is necessary to point out here the issue of fear of spinsterhood, This fear is complex and includes the economic situation of women and society in general, Women are not qualified for work for many reasons, nor are they sufficiently encouraged to engage in work that provides them with what they need financially, because that reinforces their independence, provides them with financial security, and enables them to rebel, Theoretically, polygamy is intended to combat spinsterhood, but marrying underage girls increases the number of spinsters, because animalistic patriarchy prefers girls to spinsters, especially since spinsters have more life experience than girls, and it is not easy for animalistic patriarchy to deal with them as it deals with underage girls,Moreover, reaching what is called menopause requires a longer time for girls compared to spinsters. In general, marriage and marriage are controlled by a sexual-commercial psychology that is not befitting of humanity in general.
Who wants this marriage? Is it God’s will and decision? Is it the groom or the bride… or… etc.? God has no connection to this abomination, nor does the will of the unfortunate bride, Here, the groom and his male group should be accused of being the perpetrators of the crime, Males are accused of bestiality, which desperately defends the virility that consumes sexual privileges and practices the rape of sick children (pedophilia),Virility is responsible for the rape!
The ancestors deserved the curse because they used to buy and sell each other like cattle in slave markets, The curse is justified despite the historical context, The curse is necessary not to flagellate oneself, but to prevent the repetition of that in the present,The curse represents a moral pledge not to marry or rape minors and to stay away from captivity and polygamy, regardless of the means of captivity or hunting, whether by the sword or buying with money from the slave market or the slave market, The ancestors did not feel any shame in displaying children, girls, and captives naked in the markets for sale and purchase, Herein lies the importance of the curse, i.e., rejection in the present, For if it were not for this rejection based on morality, it would not be possible to condemn what ISIS did to everyone who opposed it or differed from it in belief, conviction, and practice, as was the case with the Yazidis and others.
Our ancestors saw no moral fault in the obscenity, debauchery, rape, and prostitution that were widespread under every tent, Nor did they find fault in honoring a guest by placing a slave girl at his disposal or gifting him a slave girl or a captive woman from among the slaves, Even in this era, some sheikhs speak of the legitimacy of captivity, for the purpose of selling captives or even placing them at the disposal of respected guests, as Sheikh Al-Huwayni suggested—that is, placing a captive woman at the disposal of the guest so that he may amuse himself and enjoy her, Another sheikh wanted to organize campaigns in Europe at a rate of four campaigns per year to capture blonde women from among the yellow-skinned women. The sheikh’s talk was in 2018, not 1400 years ago. What a shame and disgrace!
Marrying underage girls is not marriage, but rather legalized, public, and boastful rape,The Iraqi parliament recently legalized it. In fact, people should stop using the word “marriage” to refer to this colossal crime and bottomless depravity.
