Marriage in islam depends on the uninfluenced consent of the bride-to-be. Once she is against it, such marriage is null and void. ISLAM is TOTALLY against FORCED marriage. If she says NO, then marriage cannot hold.

She is 13 for feck's sakes, a child that is, how will she say no?

babyosisi:


Very unpredictable and outrageously weird
Everything about it makes no sense whatsoever

The other alternative with the same shariah is stoning the girl to death for putting herself in a position to be raped

Yeah, that would have been the alternative if she had refused the marriage offer. She would have been acused of fornication and all of them would have been stonned to death. I am sure al involved pressured her dad to solv it this way. Ok, they should stone the other biys for raping someones wife.

This the theory, the reality is a different one.

Apparently you are not bright enough to make counter points succinctly. Stoopid people discuss personalities while bright ones address issues. Prove that you are bright by discussing the issue at hand.

Had it been you ain't talking with ur anus, you would av understood why majority Nairalanders points to Muslim other dan d issue at hand. Women have no rights to freedom of voice, choice and decision in Muslim religion and it's against humanity if we should keep religion aside and reason like humans. How can the victim father decide for her, not minding how the poor gal feels, marrying her off to one of the idi0ts who raped her, what happen to Justice?
Like I said, you talk with ur anus bro, u need serious check up mentally and deliverance spiritually.

Joke of the centuary my dear, no need to ask him. No forced marriage in Islam? Yes, that is what the quran says but that is not what the men practice.
The quran says marry 4 only if you can treat them EQUALY! it said no fornication or rape, it said no killing of innocents, it said, a lot of things but howmany do men keep?
Abegi, let him curse himself and swear that no girl has ever been forced to marry in islam.

I can see that most of the critics here appear to be Christians.

While my opinion on this is currently reserved, I make bold to say that the so-called Christians who are condemning this man and the alleged rapists, that you are hypocrites and are not following the teachings of Jesus.

Jesus preaches forgiveness and he even forgave you people for killing him, you are well-advised to practice your religion properly. Many of you appear to be bigots who look for any opportunity to exhinit your religious bigotry.

Okay, so the act shouldn't be condemned? It should be praised and condoned and tolerated and forgiven, so that what? It should continue unchecked, or maybe so that a unbiased Christians like you can have a good night's rest. Well niggar, I don't think you even need to have a religion to condemn such an act.
And whilst sitting on that fence, watch out: it might be on the verge of collapsing.

Is d father with his senses to allow his daughter marry a rapist. I bet d girl will suffer more rape evn in marriage cox ds guy wnt stop. I pity d young lad.

The Koran allows marrying infants and children, don't be deceived
The prophet of Islam married a 6 year old when he was 54
Can a 6 year old consent to marriage?

It also allows rape of captured females

It allows killing of people who leave the religion or oppose it

Don't let them deceive you
The Koran and hadiths can be assessed online
You can read these things yourself
Every single thing the strong adherents do that sound weird to you,is koranically correct

Good for them!
There's nothing wrong in him begging

My dear God bless u for this one u talk. The reality is a different one. I know of a fellow Corp member who is betrothed to a man she has never met by her family and she has no say other than to marry him after her service is over next month.

That is what I am saying. For him to say the girl gives consent lol, that na joke of the centuary o.

The same thought passed my mind when I was replying to the post but I decided to be careful in order not to lump everyone together, the moderate, sensible Muslims with the extremists.

I have heard many of such stories.

I live in Germany and I know women / girls here who were forced to marry someone they didn't want to. Fortunately, in this country, they can seek protection and will get it.

The rapist should be jailed and not groomed for goodness sake.

My last quote of a brainless, bigoted goat.

What would you do if the little girl was your daughter? I see most people strive to condemn any act, even if its for the best, so long as it has a relation to Islam. #HatredBeyondReason #SMH

You have a right to condemn all you want, keep your religious bigotry out of it. Its the mature and sensible thing to do.

Not in all places in Nigeria. Nigeria still have a long way to go

venivedivici:


It doesn't work that way, bro.

Just looking @ it from my "layman" poinnt of view though.

Where that Cao girl make I rape her

Of course Nigeria has a VERRRRRY long way to go. I was talking about the situation in Germany though so that people see how other people are treated in a sane country.

And I should continue to be in the same country with these people? May God punish Lugard for merging these different animals called hausa with the south where humans leave

But the story itself calls for religious input (or bigotry sef), don't you think? It isn't just a neutral person who in the spirit of good faith and humanism did what he did. Islamic injunction contributed to his decision as well as the acquittal of the rapists. So one can't help but still refer to religion, my friend.

Na hausa for u be Dat

cococandy:

I haven't ascertained or assumed it to be best ( note - "even IF". You can simply suggest how thing ought to be done instead of concluding on my comment

tuffgongjo:

Lol @ "layman". I understand you man. Why I feel it's not applicable here is that she is the direct recipient of the physical pain and emotional anguish, and now again, this (which she most likely isn't in support of). The father is simply trying to save face

IamDejman:
To all insulting the man. Take a look from this angle

His daughter was raped. Under Islamic parlance, she might possibly not get married cos of that lingering issue on her. Since the rapist decided he would marry her, the father was happy that the shame would soon be over and therefore agrees provided there isn't any use of pregnancy in a month.

Note: the rapist in the afterworld would have his punishment cos of direct contravention to the forbidden act he committed (Haram)


#ProudlyChristianThough

@ the bolded : there is no evidence for it.

You don't need to state your religion to make your indefensible point.

A grave crime was committed against an innocent 13 year old and the thoughtless father deemed it fit to marry the victim to one of her attacker.
Is marriage more important than a lifetime of happiness ?

There is no justification for the double crime committed against this innocent child by the so called father and the rapist.
And this is one of the case where Nigerian police and human rights activists should wade in.
