The dilemma I am about to share has not yet been reported in America, but I suspect it is only a matter of time. This story takes place in Denmark. Therefore, I share this article as food for thought as to how much power the government should have over marriage and divorce.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, Front Page Magazine<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n One of the many appalling challenges that have confronted Western European authorities since mass Muslim immigration began several decades ago is the arrival of adult – often elderly – men with underaged girls whom they identify as their wives.<\/strong><\/p>\n Such marriages, of course, are not just permitted but encouraged under Islam. Muslims are taught to look in all things, big and small, to the example of their prophet, and they all know that one of the treasures of Muhammed\u2019s harem – often described as his most beloved wife – was Aisha, whom he wed when she was six and deflowered when she was nine.<\/strong><\/p>\n Needless to say, the pedofile alliances that are ubiquitous in the Islamic world – and legally sanctioned (or tacitly accepted) in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, and elsewhere – are invariably arranged and forced on girls by their parents. They\u2019re also usually cousin marriages. The BBC\u2019s website provides<\/a> a helpful whitewash – I mean, justification – of such unions: \u201cArranged marriages ensure that Muslim marriages are based on compatibility rather than lustful feelings.\u201d Yes, because there\u2019s nothing more compatible than a 70-year-old husband and an eight-year-old wife. At least you can be pretty sure that the little girl isn\u2019t feeling a hell of a lot of lust.<\/strong><\/p>\n The article continues:<\/p>\n St\u00f8jberg\u2019s (Inger St\u00f8jberg – a Liberal Party member of Parliament who was then serving as Minister of Immigration, Integration, and Housing in Lars L\u00f8kke Rasmussen\u2019s center-right government) initiatives, then, offended media hacks and ivory-tower buffoons. But they also made her a national heroine, and arguably the most popular politician in Denmark.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now, confronted with the child-bride issue, St\u00f8jberg didn\u2019t disappoint. At first she decided to offer the girls – 23 in all – the option of divorce. Then, realizing that many of the girls, if offered a choice, would likely be under immense family pressure to stay with their \u201chusbands,\u201d she ordered that all of them – except for five who were between the ages of 15 and 17 – be severed at once from their so-called spouses and granted instant divorces. Between February 10 and March 18, eighteen \u201ccouples\u201d were separated.<\/strong><\/p>\n But St\u00f8jberg\u2019s swift action on child brides landed her in hot water. Immigration officials and other government bureaucrats maintained that she had no power to end marriages, even if they involved minors. The European Convention on Human Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child were both cited – not, mind you, in favor of saving girls from statutory rape, but in favor of allowing child molesters to keep on molesting.<\/strong><\/p>\n Please follow the link to read the entire article. A heroine has gone to prison to protect children.<\/p>\n There are two sides to this story–balancing the protection of children and the rights of the government. I don’t ever want the government telling anyone they have to get a divorce, but I don’t want pedophilia allowed either.<\/p>\n I think we are going to have to look carefully at our immigration policies to see if we will permit these pedofile alliances to continue when immigrants enter the country. America has rules regarding pedophilia and the protection of children. Many of the Arab cultures do not. If people want to come to America, I think they need to follow our rules. However, I don’t want to give the government the right to demand a divorce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The dilemma I am about to share has not yet been reported in America, but I suspect it is only a matter of time.
