An eight-year-old child bride has died in Yemen of internal bleeding sustained during her wedding night after being forced to marry a man five times her age, activists have claimed.
The girl, identified only as Rawan, died in the tribal area of Hardh in northwestern Yemen, which borders Saudi Arabia.
Activists are now calling for the groom, who is believed to be around 40 years old, and her family to be arrested so they can face justice in the courts.

Friggin animals! When are they going to be human and learn not to traumatize and murder children??? No compassion, no damned common sense on how this is so wildly wrong and cruel!
Angry Man, a blogger, posted that the man was 'an animal who deserved to be punished severely for his crime'.
'All those who supported such a crime should also be punished,' he added.
Another blogger, called Omar, wrote: 'Rawan’s family members are not humans. They do not deserve to have children.'

This part of the world could surely use some Anatomy/Physiology and Child Psychology courses. Education would be very helpful, especially about the human body. But, we know that isn't going to happen. Pedophiles, en masse, well, Mary mother to Jesus, was 15 when the holy spirit came onto her *giggles* so, I guess that means God approves of this.
Just sick.

The quicker countries that support a sick culture like this are nuked off the map, the better.

Do you really think God approves of a man brutalizing a child and killing her? If you really believe that I feel truly sorry for you.

It is a terrible tragedy by our standards.
But only by our standards.

Not so. Death is a tragedy to everyone, globally, universally. We all feel this pain. No culture or group is an exception. This is where one needs to take a hard look at cultural norms and revise them.
No, it's not our place to judge other cultures, but it is their place to judge their own when lives are needlessly lost in this way!

I can only hope that all other cultures find it as disgusting as we do.
