Child marriage thrives still in Africa, and particularly in Muslim countries, where it is sometimes difficult to argue against the example of the Prophet Muhammad, who married his third wife when she was 6. By Islamic accounts, he did not consummate the marriage until she was 9.

That one sentences tells you all you need to know about the root of the problem!

Yes, it’s hard to get past Mo’s example.

At Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, a sword that belonged to Mohammed is on display. I was appalled at the small children looking at it while their parents worshipfully explained what it was.

What a crock of a religion.
