Anyway, the teacher of the 11 year old was against the whole idea but nevertheless gave blessing to the couple. The funny thing is that the 11 year old encouraged his classmates to follow suit. Oh well, I am not sure about it though. He is getting married so early because he is allowed under Syriah Law. Oh well, just imagine if UK were to adopt Syriah Law. I do understand that Syriah Law is only applicable to muslims but what if there is a rift between family members where there are family members who are muslim and the rest are non muslim? Surely it will cause some trouble as we need to understand that Syriah Law is completely different from UK judicial system.

11 Year Old Married to his 10 Year Old Cousin
It was reported in Saudi Arabia that a 11 Year old boy got married to his 10 year old cousin in a simple Syariah marriage. Both side's parents gave their blessings and the marriage was to take place. This sort of marriage is not acceptable in the modern western world as they are considered to be underage. Oh well, this is the first time I have come across 11 year old getting married although I have witnessed a religious ceremony where by 15 year olds are getting married. Well, 11 years old is just too far fetch for me.

Strange but true. How does a 11 year old get an erection? And why must they get married but then again it's the draconian laws of Syariah. I read about it in the papers.
Well, I don't think they are concerned about erection. What they are certain is that the boy is just too young to get married. Does he know the level of responsibility at the age of 11 years old? Think about it.
