A 16-year-old Saudi girl drank a bottle of bleach in an attempt to commit suicide to escape a forced marriage to a 75-year-old man!Horrible…

Понедельник Авг 18, 2008

Shaikha, said her father was forcing her to marry the old man so that he could marry his 13-year-old daughter in an exchange deal, Bahrain’s Tribune reported.

Shaikha first have seen her aged “fianc?” in marriage office. She begged and pleased not to be forced into marriage but both men ignore these please! Then desperate girl drank a bottle of bleach in an attempt to commit suicide to escape a forced marriage! How cruel must be that people who forced her to marry with that 75-old man! Arab customs always surprised me but this case is horrible! Actually Islamic law states that for a marriage to be legal both parties must consent. If a marriage is performed without consent or under coercion the union is considered void and must be annulled!
Fortunately this story has the happy end: appealed to the National Society of Human Rights to intervene and stop the marriage, the Tribune said, adding Shaikha, whose parents are separated, asked to live with her mother. Her mother said that her she will live with her and will be in safety. Shaikha’s father will be judged.
But appears a question: where was her mother during that time when her father forced her to marry (if she was against, of course!)???
