Yemen: 8-year-old girl demands a divorce because she wants to "have a respectful life"
Nojoud Muhammed Nasser, 8, went to court by herself in Yemen.
Nasser (8-year-old) complained about her husband's behavior.
The husband:He used to do bad things to me, and I had no idea as to what a marriage is. I would run from one room to another in order to escape, but in the end he would catch me and beat me and then continued to do what he wanted. I cried so much but no one listened to me. One day I ran away from him and came to the court and talked to them. ... Whenever I wanted to play in the yard he beat me and asked me to go to the bedroom with him. This lasted for two months. He was too tough with me, and whenever I asked him for mercy, he beat me and slapped me and then used me. I just want to have a respectful life and divorce him.
Thamer is unrepentant but willing to be flexible: "Yes, I was intimate with her, but I have done nothing wrong, as she is my wife and I have the right and no one can stop me. But if the judge or other people insist that I divorce her, I will do it, it's ok."

How could anyone marry an eight year old and not know it is wrong. She can't be very big at that age, and of course, her body has a immature shape to it. But what do you expect, she's only eight. She's a child, not a woman. What kind of idiot thinks an eight year old should perform like a grown woman? Of course she can't on any level perform like that, and to beat her for failing to do so is just plain cruel.
The guy must be a pervert to even want sex with someone so young. Only a sicky would want a wife so young and actually expect her to perform sexually. Maybe a platonic marriage on paper only, where the husband acts more like a father than a husband, that I could see.
Of course the kid wants to play outside. She is in the stage of life where play is instinctive, where she is designed for play. That's the way God designed children. To say, "no you're married now" is just cruel. It goes against God's design.
This is one of many reasons why I never want my country to become a Moslem nation. If this is the sickness Islam propagates, forget it.
I love Moslem people, but I've seen and heard too much about Islamic societies to ever want it to come here. NO WAY.
Here's to hoping this little girl gets the divorce she desperately needs and deserves. Here's to also hoping she finds parents or parent substitutes who understand that she is a child and will treat her like one for as long as she needs them to.
