The report states that youngsters often lose their childhood by being sold into adult relationships. The report states: "Child marriage, which often includes mail order and internet brides, is one of the most widespread - yet hidden - forms of slavery. Girls as young as four are forced to live and have sex with their husband, and are often kept trapped indoors. Girls under 15 are five times more likely to die during pregnancy and childbirth than women over 20. In Afghanistan more than half of all girls are married before they are 16."
“In Afghanistan more than half of all girls are married before they are 16.” .. and by the time they reach 30 they look 60.
Pure evil.
What’s their average life expectancy?
Did they go door to door and ask?
I smell someone looking for a budget increase here.

Gotta love UK’s affinity to not surrendering to Islam fast enough.
I’d revisit the phrase “time for action”.
If we won't do anything about preventing sex slavery even in Western Europe, what chance do we have for doing anything about it in the third world?
I just know that we’ll see Je$$e Jack$on and Al $harpton right on top of this!
American feminists are all over this...right? Right?
Sound of crickets.
I would suspect that most of the ‘child bride’ or ‘child prostitution’ incidents are occurring in the Muslim community, particularly the Pakistani enclaves. Sending these people back to the land of their origin solves a number of problems simultaneously, in that some congestion is IMMEDIATELY removed from inner city areas, the social services burden is lightened immediately (in terms of providing ‘charitable’ services, medical services, and enforcement problems), and the initiative level of those remaining is also sharply increased.
“””Girls as young as four are forced to live and have sex with their husband, and are often kept trapped indoors.”””
Translated??? From Arabic?? Not aware that such marriage ceremonies would be legal in the UK. Where are these unions taking place? Before immigration to the UK? What status is used on passports?
Someone is dropping the international travel EU balls!
Puh-lease!! I worked with a guy from Florida named Lamar (white and a Baptist) who married his wife when she was 9 years old. When I met them she was fourteen and had just given birth to their second child! When this couple ate dinner together Lamar would always cut up her food and he treated her like she was an embecile. It isn’t just Muslims who pull this kind of crap!
Only 5000? That’s amazing. I wonder how they counted.
I believe you, SatinDoll, though I fear many won’t. :(
No way man, the figures can’t be wrong or just made up. This wasn’t from the Lancet!
“...I worked with a guy from Florida named Lamar (white and a Baptist) who married his wife when she was 9 years old...”
BS meter off the scale. I would need to see some proof before I would come close to believing this.
You are citing one inbread idiot.
This is a uniquely muslim (and other eastern religion) problem.
You don’t see ANY 4 year old Christian marriages.
