Nine year old child bride fights for divorce – Why is this allowable under Sharia Law?
There’s no need to post the whole article. Just post your question and links to the relevant material, and perhaps a tiny extract of the most relevant bits for those who don’t click the links. Anyway, Muslims consider the prophet to be the most perfect and shining example of human morality, almost by definition, so Sharia law is based mainly on what he said, did, and is claimed to have said and done in the hadiths (many of which are frankly disputable as historical sources, as even Muslim scholars acknowledge). So that’s why you’ll find this kind of thing to be legal in many Muslim countries. But yes, it is basically legalised pedophilia. The source of the problem however lies in the belief that Mohammad was morally perfect (or as close as is humanly possible). This is the root belief that is the cause of these atrocities, and like pretty much all religious beliefs it is based on nothing but thin air.
