A World of Shame

A 10-year-old Yemen girl reports to CNN that at her young age she has already been married, divorced, and raped. I understand that different cultures have different customs, but 10-years-old! That’s what, someone in fourth or fifth grade. The plain and simple truth is that is sick and wrong. Most 10-year-old girls haven’t even gone through puberty, not that that would make it okay.

Of course, she was raped. Even if she had consented to the sex, or even if her parents consented to it, I would still consider it rape. She’s effing 10-years-old for crying out loud. There is absolutely nothing anyone could ever tell me that would make this sort of thing okay.
What makes it worse is that the guy is in his 30s. I’m only 27-years-old, and I have a hard time talking with girls in their late teens, not hitting on or flirting with, simply talking to. They young and have no clue about the world.

And now the parents of the little girl are mad because they say that the man lied to them. He promised not to touch her until she was 20. Sorry mom and dad, but if you’re going to allow your daughter to get married and leave home at 10-years-old, you have no one to blame but yourself.
