Forced Marriages in Our Own Backyard

Posted by Bio ↓ on Mar 17th, 2011 Comments ↓

According to one blogger, “Had [“Mo”] Mohammad Khan taken [Jessie] to Pakistan and married her off, it would have been almost impossible for the child to escape again. Particularly from a rural area. She would have been repeatedly raped by her ‘husband’, beaten by her in-laws and turned into a slave. And Khan would have likely profited from the exchange. Khan didn’t just marry or live with a middle aged American woman; he married a woman with at least one girl at home. And in Pakistan that translates into a salable commodity.”

This is not the first time that young American girls have been spirited away as unwilling brides to a Muslim-majority country. In 2004, 26-year-old Philadelphia resident Omar Rashaad Bey, an American citizen, entered into an “Islamic marriage” with a 14-year-old girl and then moved with her to Cairo. While in Egypt he had an affair with her sister. He then “married” another 15-year-old Philadelphia girl via the Internet and brought her to Cairo too. American officials started an investigation after the first “wife” brought their one-year-old son to the Embassy to register him for an American passport. Bey eventually returned to America, where he was arrested and indicted on three counts of engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign places. In March, 2011, he was sentenced to eight years in prison and ordered to register as a sex offender.

Europe is plagued by many more such cases of forced child marriage. According to the BBC, the police in South Wales have dealt with 49 cases of forced marriage in the past year (2010) alone.

“Strategies for helping victims included supplying them with a secret mobile phone if they feared they were being lured to their family’s country of origin as a prelude to a forced marriage….The [special police] force had also set up a ‘buddy’ system where forced marriage ‘survivors’ were a role model to those who were now going through the trauma.”

Even Saudi Arabia, which is rife with child marriage and has no law against it, has begun taking baby steps to stop the practice. According to the Saudi newspaper Al Watan, 40 cases of child marriage were prevented in the eastern part of the country when authorities spoke out against it. In 2009, the Saudi Minister of Justice issued a statement saying that it would soon implement a ban on the practice, although it has failed to do so. The Facebook group, Saudi Women Revolution, which I have written about before, has a petition on its website demanding that the Justice Ministry follow through on its initial promise.

While the American State Department occasionally rattles its rusty saber on behalf of Muslim women’s rights, if our government has, so far, refused to get involved in Libya, (even after the Arab League has asked for such involvement), and refused to get involved in Darfur—then I doubt our country will go to the mat for women in Muslim countries.

According to Newsweek, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton favors women’s rights everywhere. She is quoted as saying:

“I believe that the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st century….We see women and girls across the world who are oppressed and violated and demeaned and degraded and denied so much of what they are entitled to as our fellow human beings.”

When challenged by Egyptians who argued that her many references to women’s rights in Egypt constitute meddling in Egyptian internal affairs, she responded: “If a country doesn’t recognize minority rights and human rights, including women’s rights, you will not have the kind of stability and prosperity that is possible.”

However, on her watch, the American State Department is backing away from its verbal commitments to women in Afghanistan.

In 2010, when the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) sought bids for a land reform program in Afghanistan, it initially insisted that the winning contractor meet specific goals to promote women’s rights: “The number of deeds granting women title had to increase by 50 percent; there would have to be regular media coverage on women’s land rights; and teaching materials for secondary schools and universities would have to include material on women’s rights.”

Later, however, USAID backtracked and eliminated the requirements. According to J. Alexander Thier, the director of USAID’s Office of Afghanistan and Pakistan Affairs, “If you’re targeting an issue, you need to target it in a way you can achieve those objectives….The women’s issue is one where we need hardheaded realism…if we become unrealistic and overfocused . . . we get ourselves in trouble.”  Another “senior official” said: “Gender issues are going to have to take a back seat to other priorities.”

Brava to California’s Jessie Bender for saving herself and at least two of her siblings. She lives in America and believes that she has certain rights. So young—so brave. But what will become of her? She has a mother—the only mother she will ever have—who was ready to sell her down the river for $3000.00. Who can, who will, ever take her mother’s place? The cruelty of this American-Muslim mother to her American (probably non-Muslim) daughter is breathtaking. I have written about this phenomenon in Woman’s Inhumanity to Woman.

Child marriage is opposed by the Convention Against All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). It is a toothless document. The United Nations does not enforce individual rights over the objections of its member nation states.

Child marriage is an abomination. Think of the girls you know who are 10, 12, 14 years old. Can you imagine how a forced, arranged marriage to a much older stranger, probably one who believes it is his absolute right to rape and beat his wife, would psychologically cripple them for life, stunt all growth, demoralize them forevermore?

Who can ever forget the film Osama? It is set in Afghanistan and concerns an 11- 12 year-old girl who must dress as a boy in order to work to feed her widowed mother and younger siblings. (Under the Taliban, women were not allowed to work; they starved or turned to prostitution which meant degraded and dangerous lives).

However, the dreaded Taliban drag the girl Osama away from her job in a small shop and into a madrasa. She is only found out when she begins to menstruate. The imam who runs the madrasa is old enough to be her grandfather. He is fat, gross, coarse, cruel, and ugly. However, he is very attracted to this 12 year-old boy/girl, marries her, and locks her up together with his other, three much older wives.

We should not want to consign young American girls, Muslim and non-Muslim to such cruel fates.

    This is all diplomatic-speak for stating the obvious: "[American and Islamic values regarding women and gender-equality are irreconcilable]"

    And yet, those words will never be said, certainly not by an Obama Administration official.

    Anyway, another great article on behalf of American women by Phyllis Chesler. And for this, the feminist left despises her.

    • wayne says:

      Very well put. I have followed this completely reasonable and well documented woman and wonder when her voice will emerge on the worldwide stage as a force for justice… as it so very much needs and deserves to be.

      • Chezwick_Mac says:

        Tragically, for as long as they retain their stranglehold on academe, our cultural gate-keepers on the left will insure Phyllis' continued banishment to the wilderness of right-wing opinion.

    • mareli says:

      I am a leftist feminist and I do not despise her. I will admit that there are some dhimmi supposed feminists who despise her, but they are really multiculturalists, not feminists. One of them was on a panel last April at Cooper Union with Tariq Ramadan. I told the ACLU that they should have gotten a real feminist like Phyllis instead of this Joan somebody, but no reply from them.

  2. waterwillows says:

    Behold, bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord,
    That stand in the house of the Lord in the night seasons.
    Lift up your hands to the sanctuary, and bless ye the Lord.

  3. Jim says:

    Jeepers where is the women's movement on this. Perhaps wallowing in their glorious Hypocrisy.

    • Laura says:

      No the women's movement has been working tirelessly against this. Maybe the teaparty should quit wallowing in their own hypocrisy and join the efforts. As Mrs. Clinton says: "It takes a village."

      • StephenD says:

        I would love it if this were true. It doesn't seem to be. Can you site any evidence of their involvement? Cliché’s really don't help anything but "It takes a village" seems more like an excuse to not take individual, personal action when we can. Here's a cliché' for you that seems to prove true more than not. "If you want an issue to die, assign it to a committee." So now we have UN Committees on Human Rights, The State Dpt. has their own committees. After all, "It takes a village" means nothing more than “it takes a committee.”

        • sodizzy says:

          I heartily agree! I have seen NO outcry from the so-called women's movement. They are all too busy deciding which white wine is chique this month, I think.

      • Tony says:

        Laura, the women's movement has done nothing at all. I join the chorus in asking you cite something specific that someone from NOW has done. The problem with leftists such as yourself is you're only interested in "victims" that advance your worn out cause of socialism. You and your feminist sisters are absolutely worthless when it comes to the issue of advancing human and women's rights. Of course, if a woman needs someone to stand up for the right to take a full term baby out of the womb and stick scissors in the back of its neck prior to sucking its brains out, then we can always count on you.

        • Tony —

          I am someone whose family (all 4 of us) would probably be dead right now if there had not been some feminists around sponsoring legislation to make assaulting & battering women, spouses & "intimate partners," and causing serious injury to them a crime, as it is if done to a stranger Add to this, doing this in front of kids at home, and you have some serious social problems.

          As there is ample hate-trash-talk of this nature from a forum I just left at California's SFWeekly on a March 2nd article about problems in the family court system, I decided to bite my tongue this time, and attempt to frame a reasonable response to this question. The forum has 1400+ comments, and this type of talk is throughout it, as a fathers' rights advocate, Glenn Sacks, told his followers to get on there (and what to say).

          Some women have had enough vitriol at home and were in shock to find that leaving certain homes to keep themselves and their own offspring (and like as not, often their suicidal, and threatening-to-kill husbands) alive, they are faced with more of the same after leaving, including being blamed (year after year) for the destruction of society, and ridiculed, etc. on these matters by people ignorant of them.

          Before I get back and say what I have to say (and wisdom is NOT gender-specific), I suggest you hop on over to CANOW.org Family Law page and attempt to process the 2002 court report, and Helen Grieco's 2005 open letter to the Dept. of HHS asking them to investigate the fatherhood funding, which has compromised the integrity of the court system.

          This, though feminist, gives a histoy of who is running the family law court system to this date which builds upon work of a (male — is that good enough credentials for you?) attorney, Richard Fine, out of L.A. And what he's talking about is not gender apartheid in the courts, but corruption fraud, embezzlement, and flat out law-breaking, votes-buying greed. For which public service he was tossed in solitary confinement jail, and disbarred, for 18 months, being 69 years old.

          So, to answer your question, among other things, NOW exposes and recommends contineud exposure of due process violations in the courts, and at times has saved individual lives, including mine, by promoting a greater equality between the sexes. For this, we are called man-haters, and for pointing out that this actually has its roots in religion, Dr. Phyllis gets thrown out by her PC feminist colleagues as well.

          We are not victim-based, but we protest injustice and entrenched idiocy in these matters.

          More later, and be thankful you didn't get the whole nine yard. Maybe a country of namecalling haters deserves to go down, but right now, I prefer to help address the family law system's mistreatment of parents (of both genders) for cash — not that it's gold-standard-based cash, but it still buys things, like votes.

          NB. The young woman's mother in this case has a history, wonder what it is, and I don't blame her for it, either. There are religious predators in many places, and men that come on to women to produce babies to marry off when they hit puberty (not age of majority as in this country), case in point, it seems.

      • Kate says:

        BE SPECIFIC! Dying to hear how the feminists are actually doing something. BTW. It doesn't take a village. It takes a backbone.

      • No Muslim slave says:

        I'm a lifelong bleeding heart liberal when it comes to many social issues, but it's incorrect to say that the women's movement has been on top of this ugly situation. The movement has completely dropped the ball on the Islamic enslavement of women. Like everyone else, they are TERRIFIED of the "religion of peace" and of being called "Islamophobic." ("Islamophobia" is clearly a word fabricated as part of stealth jihad – never underestimate the cunning of the warrior cult.) ANY justification of Islamic woman abuse – which we constantly see from the women's organizations, with their lame excuses that, for example, wearing the burkha/niqab is a "choice" – is reprehensible.

        • DrBukk says:

          NOW had frequent articles about RAWA, the Revolutionary Assoc. of the Women of Afghanistan. At least, before the U.S. invasion. Then, the subject of women in the Middle East was completely dropped and in fact made taboo.

          The reason? Bush gave rights to these women. Should GWB turn out to be the figure in history who reversed 1,300 years of bloody history between Muslims and Christians, he might even get the Nobel Prize for Peace. That is what has the left tied in knots, and why they will not help those protestors across the ME calling for democracy. It would validate the Bush Doctrine.

      • Chezwick_Mac says:

        The "women's movement" has been unconscionably silent when it comes to Islam and its oppression of women. In fact, some feminists even tout the "virtues" of the burkha, of polygamy, and other facets of Islamic misogyny and patriarchy. This is because in the ethos of the feminist left, race trumps gender…and anti-Americanism trumps all.

        Please document your claim that the women's movement is "working tirelessly" against Islamic misogyny. If you can't, then crawl back under the rock from whence you came.

        Perhaps when you mature into a rational, thinking woman, you'll realize the extent to which your "women's movement" has betrayed the cause of women in the Muslim realm…and you'll see Phyllis Chesler for exactly who she is: The most prescient, courageous, uncompromising voice on the planet today defending the rights of women around the world.

    • wayne says:

      Unfortunately co-opted by the socialist left… the Democrat Party in the US, the Labor Party in the UK and the Socialist/Communists of Europe.

  4. sodacrackers2 says:

    Thank you so much Phyllis for all you do to expose this savage behavior toward women and children. How in the world will that little girl ever feel safe?

  5. Elizabeth says:

    One of the big problems with the Jessie Bender case is that she is a 14-year old American girl, white, no ties to islam or the middle east with the exception of her daft mother (criminally mentally ill) who had no ties either until she hooked up with "Mo". One thing your story is neglecting to mention is the mother is not married to Mo. I hope they are charged with felony obstruction, human trafficking and anything else that goes along with it. The mother is weird. The step father is no step father. He isn't married to the mother.

    • Zamir says:

      Actually, it is briefly mentioned it the article. Ms. Chesler calls him a pseudo-stepfather at one point in the article.

      Very good idea though regarding human trafficking.

    • "gunner" says:

      good points elizabeth, jessie is an american teenager, well under the age of consent, and growing up under american customs and law, which do not include raffling her off to the highest bidder in a distant foreign land. i don't know about "criminally mentally ill" but if "aggravated stupidity" were a crime she would certainly be chargeable, right now jessie needs protection from her own mother and the "boy friend" most of all.

    • sodizzy says:

      This is the whole reason we have laws, to protect our children against such horrid circumstances.

  6. tanstaafl says:

    Islam in all its glory! Institutionalized pedophilia!

    • opar5 says:

      The Koran, the eternal, perfect words of the only god in the universe, tells believers 70 times to imitate the perfect Muslim, Mohammed in all things for all times. To do so is called Sunna; violation identifies hypocrites and apostates which can be killed by any believing Muslim. How's this for "institutionalized pedophilia:
      hadith Bukhari, vol. 5, book 63, no. 3896 & vol. 7, book 67, no. 5158 – “The Prophet married ‘Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consummated that marriage when she was nine years old.”
      There's no record of how Mohammed prepared his child-bride for the bedroom.

  7. Andres de Alamaya says:

    If ever in the history of mankind there had been justification for communities to take the law into their own hands and eliminate inhuman elements in their midst , the time is now. There is no place for these sub-humans in American society. They need to be eliminated.

    • Chezwick_Mac says:

      It's posts like yours that give ammunition to the enemies of this great web-site. Your vile description of fellow human beings as "sub-human" is straight out of Hitler's playbook…as is your advocacy of vigilante violence. The statement above could even be taken as a call to genocide.

      Attacking Islam as a belief system is not only acceptable discourse, it is the duty of all people who value human freedom. Calling for immigration restrictions and profiling of Muslims is a rational response to the challenge they pose to our culture of freedom. But calling them "sub-human" and advocating vigilante violence against them is not only morally wrong, it is tactically ruinous, exposing us to the charges of our enemies that we are ourselves violent fanatics.

      I wouldn't be surprised if you're a leftist agent provocateur…doing your best to discredit FPM as a neo-fascist rag.

      • Randome-11 says:

        Excuse me, "of fellow humans beings"? Seriously dude, you consider those scumbags "fellow humans beings", already you got a very serious problem yourself. And of course, it is someone that is angry nat them you would rather get angry against…

        Genocide? Since when are pedophiles a race?

        • Chezwick_Mac says:

          I made the assumption – perhaps erroneously – that he was referring to Muslims. If I was wrong, I apologize. Perhaps Andres could elaborate.

      • Phillip Galey says:

        Is Islam a belief system? Really? Many mature Moslems teach mayhem to the young, as allowable, this being in occurrence, time out of mind.
        I believe it correctly stated as a categorical sociological fact that, Moslems' personalities are not so much shaped by beliefs—which tend to be things susceptible of individual thought processes—but are entwined in patterns of behavior—things of common acceptance and acquiescence, even by the so-called moderate who are supposed as being among them.
        Because Moslems are so much inbred from the practice of 1st cousin marriage, producing 3X rates of b. defects and low IQ with emotional instability, like a cult, Moslems are thus constrained by circumstance to be parasitic to the host society.
        I think it a correct postulate that, Islam is constitutive of a criminal organization operating under mere color of religion; and in that respect, I would marvel to know just when will there have been sufficient record of anti-social and criminal activity—the world round—to have the thing recognized in law as criminal / terrorist with assets seized, WIRETAPS, etc.
        And sure, if we wish to bridge to Christians, are they chopping and hacking family members heads and hands off, burying alive, stoning, throwing acid in faces, persuading children in suicide, and so on?

    • Zamir says:

      I can understand the raw rage and anger that such realities give birth to in the human mind. However, assuming that everyone outside of your morality range is sub-human only places you amongst the "sub-human" you refer to. Proper law enforcement, introducing laws to combat this, and volunteer intervention are what we do to dismantle this threat.

      Violence against anyone in the name of retribution will only beget more retribution further down the road.

      • Randome-11 says:

        "Proper law enforcement, introducing laws to combat this, and volunteer intervention are what we do to dismantle this threat. "

        How have that gone so far, exactly? "The law" had DECADES to act up, yet today the highest levels of the western governements are all either completely blind to the threat at best, conniving at worst, care to explain how that is supposed to work out?

      • Trafficking that young woman indicates sub-human mentality.

        Now — where was her real father, and what reason did the mother have for leaving him? Or did he just abandon them both?

        I'm willing to bet there was a good one……

    • sodizzy says:

      We have plenty of laws on the books and can go through our courts. No need for anarchy.

  8. "gunner" says:

    add correction to my above: "if "aggravated stupidity" were a crime she (the mother) would certainly be chargeable,"

  9. opar5 says:

    Hard to understand why so few in the West have taken the time to understand that we're dealing with a culture with everything we abhor is fully sanctioned by Mohammed's "god of the universe." We clap ourselves on the back when some Muslim state adopts a constitution – and adds the Koran to it, which overrules everything at odds with itself in said constitution. We think we're "winning hearts and minds" when a Muslim community turns on Al-Qaeda, clueless that Al-Qaeda has used a child or female to carry a bomb – contrary to Islamic law.

    • ursusminor says:

      Don't forget they also used a child or young adult with Downs Syndrome and murdered this "suicide" bomber. In direct contradiction with the Koran. Disgusting.

  10. opar5 says:

    We project our values on the Muslim world and wonder why we're wrong so often. Objective truth about Islam is easily available through Islanic doctrine and universal Islamic law: Sharia, a condensation, extrapolation and codification of Islam’s divine, eternal, universal, perfect, unchanging holy writ: Allah’s Koran and Mohammed’s Sunna (most trusted biography and “traditions’‘) by Islam’s finest scholars. Sharia has been Islam’s normative and official interpretation of Islamic doctrine for over a thousand years; it is the basis for the religious, political and cultural life of all Muslims – and it can never be moderated or amended, at best, it has been selectively enforced.
    Everything else about Islam is either subjective or taqiyya (Divine deceit). Best current source for objective, fully verifiable information on Islam: http://www.politicalislam.com

    • ursusminor says:

      I don't know. I read an English translation of the Qu'ran and I have questions I want to ask an Imam. I have problems with this book's translation. It seems like something the "Nation of Islam" wrote. Starting on pg 22 it begins about fighting or defending your religion. Something is clearly wrong with this interpretation. I am sorry for my moderate Muslim friends. They need to defend themselves against people who believe they are either terrorists or that they support terrorism – or, they get grief from fundamentalists who say they are wrong in their beliefs. Intolerance is wrong in any religion.

    ' TAQIYYA '
    Do your own research about it if you don't know what this means.

    Islam IS EVIL. PERIOD.

    Islam strives for world domination.

    The Quran commands Muslims to exercise jihad.

    The Quran commands Muslims to establish shariah law.

    The Quran commands Muslims to impose Islam on the entire world.

    Islam is not merely a religion, it is mainly a totalitarian ideology.

    Islam wants to dominate all aspects of life, from the cradle to the grave.

    Shariah law is a law that controls every detail of life in a Islamic society.

    From civic- and family law to criminal law.

    It determines how one should eat, dress and even use the toilet.

    Oppression of women is good, drinking alcohol is bad.

    The core of the Quran is the call to jihad.

    Jihad means a lot of things and is Arabic for battle.

    Islam means submission, there cannot be any mistake about its goal.

    Islam and freedom, Islam and democracy are not compatible.

    They are opposite values.

    Mohamed's "wife" was six years old.

    That makes Mohamed a PEDOPHILE!!!

    And you want to base a "Religion" on this a z z -holes rantings?

    Are you INSANE?

    Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, David Horowitz et al. are right wing jerks and I hate that the left is so often on the wrong side of this issue. I am just as opposed to Islamic influence in society as I am to right wing Catholics and fundamentalist Protestants, not to mention Meir Kahane type Jews, but too many on the left just don't understand the threat to THEMSELVES from Islamists.

    I seriously think it's a very interesting thought to adopt arranged marriages. Obviously not like in Africa where their children could marry at like the age of 13 or so and for money that's just wrong.

    But I think Americans should adopt Arranged Marriages in some fashion such as once the sons or daughters are out of high school, turned 18 then the sons or daughters maybe have 10 years to find their fiancé and if by the time 10 years rolls around particularly their daughters since they have the biological clocks ticking then if the sons or daughters have not found any guy or lady to marry then when the 10 years comes around they parents could take over and find a suitor. This thought/this way of thinking at least puts a fire under the sons and daughters and they understand that if they can't or won't find a suitor within 10 years the parents then could take over and set their sons or daughters up to marry. Another article I read about this same idea that here in the U.S. our media is so overwhelming and particularly a lot of women believe that if the media tells them wait wait wait wait, look for "Mr. Perfect"… Ugh when are particularly women going to learn there is no "Mr. Perfect" there never ever was or is that's Hollywood BS and not REALITY. U.S. single women want this and this and this and so many single women have this built up pure fantasy that this god like man is going to magically POOF fall out of the sky, fall in her lap, ride away on this "white horse", have all this "perfect" lifestyle. Then when it doesn't happen U.S. single women throw their temper tantrums and literally are like well he hasn't come yet so I guess I'll wait and wait and wait and literally wait until the world blows up cause by damn it my guys going to just fall out of the sky, onto my lap and he better by damn it be "perfect". Um yeah ok now you seriously need bi*ch** sla**ed into reality. Parents have a illegitimate right to be upset particularly with their daughters cause there is the ticking biological clock and parents want the grandchildren. It not just about you women. A lot of U.S. women are so selfish and are like me me me just me me why why, stomp stomp stomp, throw fit throw fit throw fit like a 2 year old it's not just about you. Yes mainly it's about you but also what the parents want.
