From here:
In other words, American girls of European descent are to have all the freedoms a modern liberal democracy enshrines. But those American girls of Yemeni background, they are to have those same freedoms and rights denied in the name of "their culture".
It seems to me to be a form of apartheid, different rights depending on your background/heritage.
And of course there are things that can very well be done, which is to say the same thing that would happen if the same fate was to befall the girls not of Yemeni backgrounds: The authorities step in if the parents abuse their children in such a way.
That people on this forum (as quoted) can actually defend such a practice is disgusting, but then I've come to not expect much better either. I expect to see plenty of defenses and excuses in this thread for denying girls of a specific background the same rights as other girls would have in the society. Let the apartheid supporters out themselves.

You might not like their culture, but there's nothing you can 'do' about it that wouldn't be counterproductive. Except maybe one thing - if you can show them by example that your culture is better, they might just change their ways. Can you show them that a culture which accepts teenage promiscuity and encourages girls to hook up with younger men for 'love' is better? |
