Anti-Pedophilia Bill Rejected For Being ‘Anti-Islamic’ and ‘Blasphemous’


A bill that would have prevented child marriage in Pakistan was killed after the Council of Islamic Ideology declared the bill “anti-Islam.”

The bill didn’t even move past the first stage in the legislative process, The Express Tribune reports. It was almost immediately pulled Thursday by Pakistan Muslim League party’s Marvi Menon following condemnation from CII, whose job it is to advise the legislature on whether bills are compliant with Sharia law. In this case, the bill clearly violated Islamic law as tradition holds marriage as acceptable when a girl hits puberty.

After CII’s declaration, a parliamentary committee rejected the legislation solely for religious reasons and Menon subsequently pulled the legislation.

According to the organization Girls Not Brides, over 21 percent of the girls in Pakistan enter into marriage before the age of 18.

The bizarrest thing about the situation is that there are now vocal groups within both the US and Europe that want to bring this same brand of Sharia law into the courts and schools. Draconian and obstinately barbarous law-making has no rightful place anywhere in the world, and should be left behind with the Inquisition and the arranged marriages of the 16th century.
