Marriage of minors

Posted by salah gammaa on March 12, 2017 in General Discussion

The marriage of minors or underage is growing rapidly on these days. Because of poverty or any other lack of substantial matters, people marry their children, they are girls of age between seven, eight or up to twelve or thirteen. If you go to refugee camps, the matter is bigger than you can imagine. For the lack of food, shelter or education, people marry their girls. Some of these girls do not know what marriage is. Greedy ones are taking the advantage of the situations. Those who are rich offer their money for a nine-year-old girl. To add more petrol to the fire, there are some people who arrange these marriages, taking the need of the family and the demand of the other side who wants to satisfy his desire.

Is it because of poverty,  the absence of conscience or the wars?

Is there any remedy for this matter?

    Ifcharisto polly Evangelina! I want to go to take my children for their vaccination and I shall come back to reply your frank and straight forward opinion. Mr. Mishaikh made it clear from the first time like you here. He said that severe punishment must be carried out against those criminals. Of course, he meant both the parents and the one who takes advantage of the circumstances. two hours, and I will come back to reread your nice remedy for this problem. Thanks, Eva!

    Sir Dara,

    Yes, of course there is a remedy, just read my comment please...and then keep in mind, I have a very hard time staying constructive when we are talking about lack of children's rights... because they are innocent and defenseless.

    And the absolute matter of course is, that it is their parents ultimate responsibility to protect them, regardless and no matter what might be the circumstances... there are no excuses, there can not be any excuses! Parents are a child's protecter and the primary caregiver, whom they trust unconditionally.

    That trust is not there to be broken, by those who gave birth!

    Any parent who sells their child/girls who are minors...at the ages as you mentioned above, to marry elder men...there are only and only one word what describes those, and that word is - A PEDOPHILE.

    There are no discussions here, that is a fact... and the parents who sell their girls, they are just honorless people...shame on them so much for all eternity!

    If some have brain activity enough how to make a child...and they afterwards don't have brain activity enough to protect this child...this should be done towards them;

    The man who marries and minor, should have cut his dick of...and the girls parents should be corporal punished, so they can feel the same misery as they consciously put upon their child.

    In such places, people only understand this kind of lovable language.

    Again let me repeat my words, it is no human right to have children... if people can not provide for them for various reasons, they should refrain from giving birth.

    There are no excuses, even not poverty.

    And this is my honest and true opinion about this matter, and I do not care what others may think of me for writing so.

    Saya setuju dengan anda, Diah! benar benar! Tidak merasa kasihan, teman ku. Nurani penting. I do not know why am I concentrating on the conscience? Is it because it is related to the mind? Maybe, religion can play a basic role here. I agree with you, Diah. It's the social fever of the elders. They had already put in their minds that Tina is for Tom. Tina and Tom used to play together when they were children. Now, both of them have a different direction. They are a man and a woman. Maturity is not like childhood. Thanks Diah for your nice points about this problem!

    In my opinion, the marriage of minors occur because of the complex things around its circumstances. It's not about the poverty itself, war, nor the absence of conscience. But it's such a very complicated issue that maybe include tradition, free life style, lack of education, etc that force the minors have to marry at their young age. I feel so pity about this issue and also I think the good solution should start from the basic educatiobn about health reproduction to underage and make a regulation or policy to all society.

    Kai sei hain? My Gugrati is not that good, I hope I learn some more from. My friend, engineer Dileep Ram Chandra taught me how to speak some Gugrati. Lack of conscience could be the main reason, I am not sure about other reasons, but if there is no conscience to prevent you from hurting people or do them bad things, in my opinion, the other reasons can come respectively or as in second grade after the conscience. Because it's important to us what is morally right. Poverty (wow), it could also be another factor. Education as you mentioned, is essential. Thanks Tushar for the nice intervention!

    Tushar said:

    Dara, every judgement a person makes depends upon the situation around him. Observing some communities, I would blame two things--Strange Tradition (again?!) and lack of conscience. In some communities, there is a tradition of marrying boys and girls even in their childhood. If not done so, the daughter would not get a great family and a greater bridegroom for her. This is the social fever of the elders. But when parents marry their daughters for money even to old men, then it is evidently the lack of conscience. Poverty is a condition, mismatch (for money) is a man-made disaster. This must stop. Only laws cannot do. Along with laws, social awakening and financial help to needy families are essential. Thanks Dara.

    Much obliged Williams! Your comment is more than meaningful to us, too. Look at that old man to marry a young girl. Maybe, she is younger than his granddaughter. Those were only examples, but in reality, we will find more strange and criminal behavior than that. What does a fifteen-year-old girl do with an old man like that? He certainly could not satisfy her. Thanks Willie!

    Williams said:

    Nice topics. I think its a social disease. Poverty is the big issue for happening it. Most of the times poor parent are not able to take responsibility for their children for poverty. Even you can see that most of the poor family having lot of children more than capability. Few days ago I watched a news that a 70 years old guy marry a 15 years old girl and this was happened only for poverty. Its really shameless news for all of us. But I think it should be changed one day. Lot of country now giving top priority to overcome for this type of situation even the government implemented the law for this.    

    So my opinion , to stop underage marry need awareness of society first, education, limited kids instead of lot of kids, necessary money and most important is government law & implement it strongly.

    Thanks dear Dara gino for sharing your nice, useful & meaningful topics always, from where we can learn something always. I appreciate it.

    Bahut shukriya Ali! We will also pray for them. Do you know that some of them used to have a building of more than three floors, and they had factories and businesses? In a short time, those people found themselves without homes or any shelter. Their bed is the ground and their cover is the sky. We pray for them, my dear good friend, Ali. Can I be one of your friends? Thanks

    bahut acha hain Rahul Wazir, lakin kioyn? Vivet mahatvapoorn hain. I could have gone with all the previous points you had mentioned there, but the conscience is very important here. alive conscience will never order or insinuate such evil matters. On the contrary, it will prohibit and prevent from such disgusting, brutal and inhuman act. I noticed that Mr. Mishaikh referred to such regulations for countries that do not have such laws. To be honest with you, Rahul, the marriage of minors is a rare case here. It's always born in private circumstances, like wars, refugee camps, absolute poverty and so on. Thanks for your analyzing comment!

    Hello Dara gino jee ! Thanks for starting the discussion on one of the important social issue of our society.

    Child Marriage is also a biggest problem in India, for removing this menace government of India has enacted several laws and punishment. As per Indian Law of Marriage Act the minimum age for marriage in India is 21 for boys and 18 for girls. Here Child marriage is a crime. India government is also spending lots of money on promoting this message. In promotion campaign, they always show precisely and clearly about the pros and cons of this social issue.

    However, India is at number 2 in child marriages (as per The Hindu (it is a newspaper published on Sep 12, 2014))

    There are many reasons behind it.

    1) Dowry

    2) There is no fear of punishment in culprits.

    3) Lack of awareness in people about the laws and regulation.

    4) Lack of Education. People must know that below 18 years old girls are not ready for marriage, neither physically or mentally. The main reason behind early death of mother and offspring is CHILD marriage.

    5) Corrupt bureaucrats, who always leave the culprits just for few amount of bribe.

    I agree with your reasons of child marriage like poverty and wars. However, I don’t with the reason “the absence of conscience”. These guys are mature and they very well know what is right and what is wrong.

    I have seen in my life, in case of men or to anyone, if one asks them “Is eve-teasing wrong?” they always give answer “yes, it is wrong”…  but still girls are facing this.

    I don’t know what I say this kind of situation but “the absence of conscience” is not the reason behind it.

    A good EDUCATION POLICY and LAW & REGULATION can solve this problem.

    THESE ARE ONLY MY OPINION.
