This news story i found slightly disturbing, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8610491.stm
Its basicaly about a 12 year old "wife" who died of internal bleeding after "she had suffered a tear to her genitals and severe bleeding after intercourse," with her 20 year old "husband".
Apearently this is normal in yemen! as a quarter of the girls there are married before he age of 15. This country has managed to advoid the law that says that the minimum age of marridge is 17, as they say it is un-islamic. How is killing 12 year old girls with penis's islamic?!? maybe its something to do with the fact that they believe that all women should be looked after, though i dont see how that could be better really.
Can yemen men go to other countries? because i dont think they should be allowed to! they obviously choose there perspective wifes and might go around measuring up all girls under 15. Although if they did come here they might be arrested so possiably they dont leave yemen....
