Say what? In Germany, where political power has been in
female hands, lo and behold, a court has
recently ruled that child marriage is copacetic, if it is performed according
to Sharia Law. Women’s liberation for me, but not for thee.
You’ve come a long way baby!
Jay Greenberg has the story on Neonettle:
The German Federal Court has ruled that child
marriages will be legal in Germany, provided they are carried out "legally" under Sharia
Law.
The
bombshell new ruling could have implications on the way child marriages,
conducted legally under laws from overseas, are treated in the country.
Despite
a new law in 2017 to raise the legal age for marriage to 18 in Germany, this
latest verdict will mean the age limit will only apply to those who "follow" German law.
The
court decreed that all future cases of child marriage must be examined on an
individual basis to determine whether they were performed under international
or religious laws, rather than have a blanket ban on adults marrying children
in the country.
The case involved a 21 year old Syrian man who married a 14
year old girl. Did she consent? Are you kidding? Apparently, consent is for thee but not for her. Since the marriage was performed in Syria, it had been disallowed by
Germany. So said the German law. Now the Federal Supreme Court has ruled that the marriage can be
allowed because it was performed according to Sharia law, and that all future cases should be decided on a case by case basis.
If Sharia law permits wife beating and honor killings, will these now be allowed in multicultural Germany?
Oppression of women by any other name….
The
ruling comes from a controversial
case involving a Syrian man who was separated from his underage "wife" when he arrived
with her in Germany as asylum seekers in August 2015.
The
marriage was declared legal in Germany by the court due to the fact that the
man married the child under Sharia Law in his home country.
According
to Breitbart,
the pair, cousins, were married in February 2015 while the man was aged 21 and
the girl aged only 14 in a marriage procedure that was done under sharia
legally in Syria.
The
marriage was considered invalid by German authorities, however, where the
marriage age was 16 at the time.
After
his “wife” had been
taken into separate care due to her status as a minor, the Syrian man
complained to German courts which initially granted him weekend access to her
with a district court claiming the marriage had not been forced.
The
case was then sent up to the Federal Supreme Court which has now ruled that the
marriage between the pair should be examined on the basis of its legal status
in Syria.
Thanks to Angela Merkel’s open arms policy, the flood of
Muslim migrants has brought with it some aberrant cultural practices… among
them child marriage. For the uninitiated it's called multiculturalism:
Germany
has seen a huge surge in child marriage cases in recent years
In
Germany, protection of marriage and family are enshrined in the Basic Law, as
well as the principle of equal treatment, and both could be violated under the
ban on child marriages.
Since
the height of the migrant crisis in 2015, Germany has seen a huge surge in the
number of child marriage cases with at least 1,000
cases being known as far back as 2016.
Germany
passed a law to raise the
marriage age to 18 last year to combat child marriages but the new ruling could
be a blow to the legislation.
Funny thing, the German government passed a law banning
child marriage. Now, however, a court has overturned the law. Sound familiar?
The Germans have surrendered again. This time, they will NOT get built back up.
