Imam charged guilty of conducting an illegal marriage
A
Muslim cleric was during Tuesday charged in Australia characterized by
conducting an illegal marriage between a 26-year-old man and a
12-year-old girl. It follows the arrest of a Lebanese national - the "husband" - preceding week on child sex offences.
Police
said the imam, reportedly Pakistan-born, was arrested in Sydney during
Monday afternoon by the Child Abuse Squad and charged with solemnisation
of a marriage by an unauthorised person. At the same time he was granted strict conditional bail to appear in court during April 2.
During
21st century, when the world is progressing at speedy pace both in
psychological and scientific sphere, it's pathetic to be able to find
someone still encouraging this
nasty act of child marriage. One must at least let the girl gain her age
of maturity. She must understand what she's up-to before she could take
such big responsibility in life.
Here, we
need not make a mistake by getting biased towards any particular
religion because no religion encourages wrongdoings. Rather every
religion teaches the ways of being
good human being in life. Here, in this case it might be a muslim yet
when we refer history we find even in other religions they have been
following child marriage. In fact,
the most knowledgeable people performed child-marriage along with other
wrong practices. By the time the girl attains her age of maturity her
husband passes away or by the time
both gets to the age of maturity they become parents of a dozen
children. This is inhuman and must never be encouraged in a civilized
society where we find girls are flying to the moon and where not!
Let us leave our religion aside and accept the reality of all – being good human being. That's it!
Let
us come out of the tradition of age old restrictions and senseless
conservatism which could just ruin out life along with others, nothing
more!
Realize, its no use for anyone!
