Iraqi Girls as Young as 9 Sold for 1-Hour-Long ‘Pleasure Marriages’ Under Islamic Law
Iraqi girls as young as 9-years-old are being sold for sex in temporary “pleasure marriages” that can last as little as one hour long, an undercover BBC documentary has revealed.Shia clerics were filmed offering to perform temporary “pleasure marriages” under Islamic laws, allowing adult men to rape children without technically breaking Sharia law.
Men are usually banned from having sex outside marriage but can skirt the law by paying a dowry for an interim wife.Speaking to an undercover reporter, one cleric was filmed claiming it would be “no problem at all” to temporarily marry girls as young as nine under Islamic law.
Although the practice is banned in Iraq, eight out of 10 Shia clerics who were approached were willing to carry it out.One of the clerics even offered to help procure young girls, the BBC News investigation found.Have your say – One Shia cleric claims that it’s ‘no problem’ to temporarily marry and rape a 9-year-old girl According to the Daily Mail, the religious rite dates back centuries, partly intended to allow men to have a legitimate relationship while away from their wives.
However, some Iraqi men and Shia clerics are now abusing it to give a veneer of legitimacy to child prostitution. “According to Sharia, there’s no problem,” he said when asked if it was acceptable to conduct a temporary marriage with a young girl. When the reporter voiced concern that he was exploiting the girl, the cleric told him: “No way.” Another cleric, also filmed secretly, was asked if a temporary marriage with a 13-year-old virgin would be permissible under Islamic law. “Just be careful she doesn’t lose her virginity,” the cleric replied, suggesting other forms of sexual interaction instead. Asked what happens if the girl gets hurt, the cleric said: “That’s between you and her.” Avoid Internet censorship by subscribing to us directly.
