Arrested Afghan cleric defends marriage to 6-year-old girl: she was “religious offering”
“Afghan civil law sets the legal age of marriage at 16 for girls, yet 15 percent of Afghan women under 50 were married before their 15th birthday and almost half were married before the age of 18.” This is, at least in part, because of Muhammad’s example.

The UK can do nothing to stop this because the UK does not have the will to stop the advance of jihad and Sharia in Britain.
