There is nothing on this earth, except for lust and greed that a man nearing sixty could condescend to marrying a 13-year-old girl who could easily pass as his granddaughter. Yarima had divorced his fourth wife in order to enable him the pretence of keeping with the Islamic injunction that you can only marry a maximum of four women at a time. Thereafter, he shamefully made for the 13-year-old Egyptian girl. I feel Yarima should be meted with Shari’a law for this idiotic and shameless sodomy act. The parents of the girl should also share in the blame. The Senate where Yarima sits in session making laws for the nation, would have been included in this abuse but for it stating that Yarima is on his own in this matter.
Genuine Muslims should openly admonish Yarima for this shameful act. I was happy to read in one of the newspapers that the girl has been sent back to Egypt.
