Child bride in Yemen dies of internal bleeding on wedding night: activistSANAA (Reuters) - An eight-year-old Yemeni girl died of internal bleeding on her wedding night after marrying a man five times her age, a social activist and two local residents said, in a case that has caused an outcry in the media and revived debate about child brides.
Arwa Othman, head of Yemen House of Folklore and a leading rights campaigner, said the girl, identified only as Rawan, was married to a 40-year-old man late last week in the town of Meedi in Hajjah province in northwestern Yemen.
"On the wedding night and after intercourse, she suffered from bleeding and uterine rupture which caused her death," Othman told Reuters. "They took her to a clinic but the medics couldn't save her life."

We live in a sick world when a culture sees this "marriage" as okay. Horrible.

Unfortunately several posters here, who don't seem to be here anymore, would condone this farce of a marriage.
How absolutely horrible and disgusting, a 40 year old man and an 8 year old girl. A child. Obviously not developed enough physically to accept and adult penis. What a nightmare for her.
'Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed' is probably one of the most foul of thoughts.

It is beyond me how pedophilia ever became an accepted norm in a culture-religion.
I could be wrong, but the way I remember it was childbirth needed to occur very early for many reasons. Some of which were loss of male populations due to war and the need to repopulate, the relatively short lifespan of earlier civilizations due to war, disease, injury and the lack of effective medicines - therefore the sooner you could create children and the more of them, the better. Not sure of the religious aspect though, as I've always thought it was cultural. I still remember reading old Chinese and Japanese stories from 800+ years ago where men commonly slept with young boys and it was perfectly normal and accepted socially, whereas NAMBLA which seeks the same thing, is a horrid and illegal group which (I would hope) most see as abhorrent and illegal.
****ing stupid brainless bastards.What kind of a man--a 40 year old man--see in a little girl like that and think...and do...what he did?
I'd like to see a show of hands of everyone that is NOT for the death penalty right now!
Car bomb in 3.....2....1Damn - even the prophet Mohammed waited until she was 10.
Unless all this small villages are educated, it will keep happening. Its sad but truth
Such things were common place in societies thousands of years ago. I would have hoped cultures have moved beyond such things with better education as an effect of globalism... but all too often we see primitive cultural norms in the 21st century. I'd like to think such an act is such a rarity today that we only know of it due to it's exceptional and horrifying nature.
We shouldn't criticize. It's just their way.
shhhh. don't tell anybody. I'm just working on my political correctness in anticipation of my trip to the U.K.
This is the kind of thing European multiculturalists want to import.
