There is a new report of an outrage involving a child bride in the Middle East. A 12-year-old Yemeni bride Elham Mahdi Shuee has reportedly died after bleeding caused by sexual intercourse.
Elham died three days after her marriage to a man in his late 20s. She was admitted to the hospital with a
womb rupture. She was married as part of a swap marriage where, instead of paying a dowry, the husband’s family agreed to marry off a girl the same age to Elham’s brother.

Interesting observation … especially when juxtaposed with the Catholic Church’s hierarchies defense of pedophile priests.
Yes, Puzzeling thats me. An old picture, but still me and I’m not out to get anybody, much less Sam. That is unless his 1st name is Uncle, cause I do intend to SIOUX the government, cause most men really dont know how to keep a promise. At the very least American sons of guns need to know; Ladly Justice is Not Deaf, Dumb, Blind or even a Blond. However Her Abilities have been severely handicaped and retarded due to the Blindfold put upon her by her masonic brothers. So at the very least Let Her Use that double edge sword to cut Man to the back to the Bone where she came. I mean I’m willing to Admit that GOD created ALL Men equal and even 1st, but since GOD created woman second, I say We were created Better!
LOL
Peace Out
Yikes!
I’d rather deal with someone addled by hormones than addled by anger. And not all men are completely driven by south of the border jonesing.
That baby girl was a victim of culture (or lack thereof….) and something darker than desire.
But whatever it was, it was murder. It looks more akin to rape and trafficking, both of which are prevalent here and have more to do with power,anger, and control. It is interesting to note that it seems to be the clerics who are most oppositional to a minimum age to marry over there.
I agree with Wootsy that this was beyond a first sexual encounter. The hymen does not hemmorhage.
Buddha,
Interesting is one way to put it…..wow. If there had actually been a rational statement I would absolutely respond. Alas the lioness must go and hunt for food for the cubs to eat….before they eat one another, they are male cubs don’t ya know. 😉

I must disagree because I heard its a fact that Men think about sex every 7 seconds. Even a Lion will try to eat, kill or have sex with their own cubs, which of course I believe is why GOD made the Lioness the fiercest of beast in protection of HER children. So that makes me think the best way to teach men their responsibility is to Kill them All; and start over again using sperm banks cause one thing for sure, men cant keep their johnson in their pants i.e., Jesse James and Tiger Woods, or the Republican Congressman who live on C street but in a State of Denial about their FAMILY Values. So as I said before Due to the Course of these Human Events I think our Declaration of Independence also gives Women the Duty and Right to Abort, Dissolve Divorce, Separate or THROW OFF these men who have become too accustomed to using the wrong Head, and Thinking about Sex; to Right Themselves.
Peace out

Sam,
Marsha is out to get you! Hide!
Marsha,
Is this you?
hmmmm
This ought to be interesting.

Peace out
no, this was not caused by sexual intercourse.
Uterus’ don’t just rupture. During pregnancy this can happen but not often….sometimes a traumatic accident….
Something violent happened here.
Beyond marriage of a 12 year old.
Beyond sexual anything…..
” Men are All Sick if not for the fact, they cant stop thinking about Sex for even 1 Minute. ” – Marsha Christ
I have to disagree, not all men are sick perverts. There are cultures who raise boys to believe that this type of behaviour is not only normal, but expected…a reward for ” good behaviour “. The belief is sick in this situation, and what truly needs to be changed. However there are men…and women who engage in sexually deviant behaviour. These adults find partners who enjoy the same sexually deviant behaviours and engage in those behaviours consentually together and no one gets hurt. There are yet another group of individuals ( again men and WOMEN )who are plain and simply sexual deviants, and do what they need to do to satisfy their urges at whatever the cost. These are the ones who are truly sick.
Marsha,
Some men do travel the world just to have sex with children.
Others predators just use their church (or Boy Scout camps), although there’s no frequent flyer miles in that. Unless you count the return trip to Rome.
Sometimes religious customs are funny.
Sometimes they aren’t.
This would be one of those later times.
There are so many religions that allow this kind of thing. What does it take for Ignorant ass males to understand that just because you are born a female, doesnt mean your ready to have sex.
It doesnt matter either where they are, because just the other day, an american 7 year old was Gang Raped and some of them were her own relatives.
The sad part is some grown Ass MEN travel the world just so they can have sex with underage boys and girls.
Men are All Sick if not for the fact, they cant stop thinking about Sex for even 1 Minute.
sickening! And, imagine that’s pretty much what the religious right want for America.
Good dog – this is positively obscene.
Animals behave better
This poor child was a victim of Religious sponsored and State sanctioned Violence.
They are living daily lives full of terror and abuse, when will it end…How and when will the girls and women of this country and the many others like it ever get free?
The poor women over there get it from both sides; shot by U.S. soldiers or drones, and if that was not enough … well, you know with friends like these …
This is just sick and wrong. Makes you think of what could happen here in the US. Especially Arkansas..
