Germany Finds 1,500 Cases of Child Marriages Among Refugees

Except there are countries in which child marriages aren't recorded as such and no actual data is available. Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Iran are included. Pakistan's Islamic Council ruled that laws against child marriage were un-Islamic. It seems that view is shared by other prominent Islamic religious leaders.
BS... More like I did not jump on the emotional ant Muslim bandwagon preferring a more reasoned approach. Was quite surprised you didn't pull out the old "virtue signalling" line....
It's all on the same site. Look at the individual countries.
Interestingly, that site doesn't include the GDP or religious breakdown of the countries that appeared in your post. Where did those come from?
This thread reminds me of:
Say "extremist islamic terror."
Say it.
SAY IT.
SAY IT.
SAY IT!!
I meticulously googled it. They do have stats for Pakistan, Yemen, and Iran and they all fall below Cameroon. You are right they don't have numbers for the KSA.
About those "stats."
-Although little data is available on child marriage in Iran, UNICEF estimates that approximately 17% of girls there are married before the age of 18. The numbers may be even higher as many families in Iran do not register births or underage marriages.
According to Iran’s Association of Children’s Rights, the number of girls married in Iran under the age of 15 went from 33,383 in 2006 to 43,459 in 2009, a 30% increase in three years. This is due to deepening poverty and parents’ desire to control their daughter’s sexuality.
-While there is little information on the prevalence and drivers of child marriage in Yemen, UNICEF estimates that 32% of girls are married before the age of 18.
Regarding Pakistan, I posted about their Islamic Council ruling of anti-child marriage laws being unconstitutional.
Regarding Cameroon, the site states this...
More than 1 out of 3 girls in Cameroon are married before they turn 18 [1], but prevalence rates vary widely across regions: in the North 73% of girls marry as children, as opposed to 13% in the Littoral province [2].
The North is predominantly Muslim. Unless you also start to break down geographical locations of religious majorities/minorities within a country, the percentage breakdown you provided is without any meaningful context.
Thanks I guess? I'm just pointing out that the stats are hard to come by in some countries and that "fall below" Cameroon is misleading in context of religious majority based on the geographical distrubutions of religions in that country. As predicted, syskatine fell for your bait.
Well, I'd be glad to answer, but what do you mean by tolerate? Unfortunately, "child marriage" doesn't necessarily tell the whole story. Teens in the US get pregnant at young ages without marrying, as opposed to the same age pregnant girl in a Muslim culture marrying to avoid getting caught breaking the law.
Sorry. It should always be assumed that I'm implying you are probably virtue signaling.
Maybe its just me, but I have issue calling 16 and 17 year-olds child-brides when just about every state in the union considers 16 to be the age of consent. I'd be curious what the international child-marriage rates would look like if those age groups were removed.
I have no issue calling anyone under 21 a child bride personally. If you can't buy a beer, you shouldn't be able to take eternal vows. But for humanitarian purposes, I think we could at least agree a woman should be fully grown, so let's say 16 and under.

Yawn that happens in Michelle Bachmans district or something comparable. Did you see what Sean spicer said today?? Ermagod he needs to step down and trump impeached.
And Chris Matthews needs to be fired. No room for holocaust deniers round here.
Trump should fire Chris Matthews immediately.... I am outraged.
You mean Obama should have fired him and had his show cancelled. It was 2013 after all.
Yes, when Obama was running MSNBC in 2013 he should have fired Chris Matthews. Still outraged.
He's such a moron, why post him? I remember him screaming for war in the Iraq run-up.
This is the sorriest, funniest conservative meme I've seen around here in a while.
