Forced marriages are sanctioned in [[Islam]] despite what the Muslim apologists claim to the contrary. [[Islamic law|Shari'ah]] fails to protect the most vulnerable--children. A father's consent is all that is required to marry a young girl to an adult man, and the burden is upon her (once she reaches puberty) to seek an annulment or a divorce. In the meantime, the girl is vulnerable to spousal abuse and childhood pregnancy which greatly jeopardizes her health and future. Child marriages occur all over the world, especially in Muslim countries that practice Shari'a. | Forced marriages are sanctioned in [[Islam]] despite what the Muslim apologists claim to the contrary.
