This is what the Islamists are doing to gain political power all over the world. In the West they do it under the guise of 'multiculturalism' and it is lethal for future Muslims of the world! Muslims of Britain should join Maryam Namazie's movement, "One Law for All".
<< The current British law allows for Imans to carry out religious marriage ceremonies of
consenting brides and grooms aged under 16 so long as they don't have sex until they are 16.

wife and have sex irrespective of age. >>

The British child brides: Muslim mosqueleaders agree to marry girl of 12... so long as
parents don't tell anyone
PUBLISHED: 09:47 GMT, 9 September 2012 | UPDATED: 16:02 GMT, 9 September 2012
British Muslim mosque leaders are agreeing to carry out secret marriages with child brides as young as 12 in the UK , it emerged today.
In an undercover investigation, a Shi'te mosque leader agreed to marry a 12-year-old girl so long as she was a willing participant.
A Sunday Times journalist visited the Husaini Islamic Centre in Peterborough -
the 'first Shi'te mosque in the whole of Europe ' - posing as the father of a 12-year-old girl.
Secret marriages: Some Muslim religious leaders consent to marry a girl of 12 if she consents -
and her parents keep it a secret (stock image)
Child bride: An Imam at the Husaini Islamic Centre in Peterborough agreed to the marriage of a 12-year-old girl - but only if she consented to the nuptials
According to the newspaper, the reporter was told by Imam Mohamed Kassamali that
'under sharia [Islamic law] there is no problem' in marrying a 12-year-old.
But while he declared Islamic Law dictated a girl should see 'her first sign of puberty at
the house of her husband', he admitted they would all get in to trouble if she went to police
saying she was forced into the marriage.
He told the parents he would need to meet the bride and groom to be sure they were happy
to go ahead with the marriage and urged them to delay having intimate relations until they were older.
When approached by the newspaper he insisted he would only have carried out the ceremony
if it was allowed under British law and if both parties had not been coerced into the marriage.
Campaigners argue that children can't decide whether they want to be married (posed by model)
But another retired Imam, Abdul Haque, who worships at the Shoreditch Mosque in east London ,
agreed to carry out the ceremony on the condition the parents kept it a secret from the authorities.
The Imam urged the undercover reporter to lie about the marriage and keep it a secret.
Haque said: 'Tell people it is an engagement but it will be a marriage.
'In Islam, once the girl reaches puberty the father has the right, the parents have the right,
but under the laws of this country if the girl complains and says her marriage has been arranged
and she wasn't of marriageable age, then the person who performed the marriage will be jailed
as well as the mother and father.'
He then warned: 'Nobody should know about this and the girl must not complain... If she talks in
school they will take the girl, social workers will take her and afterwards you and I will be in trouble.'
The current British law allows for Imans to carry out religious marriage ceremonies of
consenting brides and grooms aged under 16 so long as they don't have sex until they are 16.
Under Sharia law both parties must to consent to the marriage and they can then live as man and
wife and have sex irrespective of age.
Secret: Another retired Imam - who worships at the Shoreditch Mosque in east London - was happy to marry a
12-year-old girl but only if her parents told no-one about it
But under British law, the legal age of consent is 16, so a husband could be prosecuted for
rape if he has sex with a girl under that age - even if it is his wife.
But campaigners claim that the current law doesn't protect young Muslim people from being
forced into marriages - stating a child is not capable of agreeing to marriage.
Courts now have the power to issue forced marriage protection orders (FMPOs) against a
person suspected of trying to force a person into marriage and breach of the order is treated as contempt of court.
