For years, child marriage in this country has been hidden under layers of culture and tradition in tight-knit communities — a fringe issue that's been difficult to gauge and hard to investigate. Then came news of a 12-year-old girl who was "married" in January to a 26-year-old Lebanese university student in an Islamic ceremony at the girl's home in NSW's Hunter Valley, and the layers of secrecy began to peel away. On best estimates, the number of girls in Australia being forced into marriage here or overseas is in the hundreds every year. Girls as young as 12 or 13 are disappearing from schoolyards, packed off to the countries of their parents' birth to wed men they have never met, while others are taken from their homes in southern Asia and the Middle East and brought into Australia to marry.

The National Children's and Youth Law Centre has identified 250 cases of under-age marriage over the past 24 months, while Sharobeem, who was herself married to a cousin at the age of 14, says there are at least 60 child wives living in south-western Sydney alone. In Melbourne, Melba Marginson, executive director of the Victorian Immigrant and Refugee Women's Coalition (VIRWC), says her women's friendship network sees 150 women a week, most of whom come from communities where arranged marriages are practiced. "But what we are seeing is only the tip of the iceberg," she says.

Those within the communities say the problem is greater than even these campaigners believe it to be. Alia Sultana, a Pakistani Hazara woman who works with Afghan ­Hazaras in Melbourne, told me: "I would say nearly every Afghan Hazara family in ­Melbourne is involved in this practice." Sultana, who fled the Taliban two years ago with her family, added: "I only know about these girls because I am also a Hazara, and the other women tell me about them. They are kept prisoners, locked in their husbands' homes and only allowed out if their mothers-in-law go with them, so they can never seek help."
...
Leyla, who at the age of 12 was taken off the street where she was playing, dusted down and taken into her engagement ceremony, is still with her brutal husband despite years of cruelty. Days after her wedding, furious that his child bride was refusing to have sex with him, and frustrated at his family's demands to see blood on their sheets to prove her virginity, Leyla's husband took a knife and slashed her vagina to provide his family with the all-important blood token. She was just 13 when she bore the first of her five sons.

Today, her face and body are disfigured: her broken jaw makes her face lopsided, and a dislocated shoulder hangs lower than the other. She is scarred inside and out by her husband's brutality and her own self-harm. She weeps throughout our interview, and swears to me that she will leave her husband once her youngest son is married. But if she does, the community will turn on her. "I will never be able to marry again. It is impossible," she whispers.

O'Connor describes the societal pressure on young girls as "the super-eye of the culture". She explains: "You are not allowed to move too far out of it. If you do, or if you disobey their rules, not only are you excluded from your own society but so are your parents and family. No one will want to marry your sisters, and your brothers will be laughed at. The pressure on the girls is so enormous that they tend to behave themselves and don't leave the family tradition."

The power of the communities is so strong that Sharobeem, Marginson and the professionals who refer cases to them have to keep much of their work clandestine. When I ask Sharobeem to put me in touch with a doctor who has sent a number of child brides to her centre, she shakes her head. "He would never work in the ­community again," she says. When I argue that his name would not be printed, she shakes her head again. "But the community will know."

What makes it even harder is that so many women still accept it. There's a saying they use for the wedding night: "Kill the cat to slaughter the cat." Says Sharobeem: "The cat is the young bride and the saying means she must have her self-esteem slaughtered from day one so she will never raise her voice or have her say."

Arvioiden mukaan satoja australialaisia lapsia naitetaan vuosittain. Juttu on niin pitkä etten sitä vitutukseltani pysty kääntämään. Jutussa on esimerkkejä lapsivaimojen kohtaloista, kunniamurhista sekä maahanmuuttaja yhteisöjen harjoittamasta painostuksesta jäseniään kohtaan.

Niinpä niin, sitä se pedofiliauskonto tuottaa. Toivottavasti nyt kukaan 8-vuotiasta "morsiantaan" nussiva aikuinen muslimimies ei tästä kovasti ota itseensä. Vaikka toisaalta, ääneen sanottu totuus loukkaa eniten, perusteetonta panettelua kestää kuka vaan.

Outoa miten vähän nämä "humaanit" monikulttuurisuusänkyrät välittävät tällaisista uutisista? Kuinka he voivat elää itsensä kanssa? Selitys löytyy näiden fanittaman itsensä Stalinin logiikasta: jos haluat munakkaan, sinun pitää rikkoa munia. Suomeksi: rapatessa roiskuu. Ja tässä tapauksessa roiskuu sängyssä pienten tyttöjen veri. Sairasta!

Aviomiehet 20 vuodeksi vankilaan. Vanhemmilta loput lapset huostaan. Tuomio myös vanhemmille niillä rikosnimikkeillä, joille syyllisyys voidaan osoittaa; paritus, ihmiskauppa, heitteillejättö, avunanto raiskaukseen tms.
Mutta mitenkäs noita paljastettaisiin?

13 vuotias Rania Farrah (nimi muutettu) pääsi isoveljensä kanssa unelmamatkalle egyptiin katsomaan pyramideja. Jotenkin hän päätyi jordaniaan jossa sairaalassa tehdyn neitsyystarkastuksen jälkeen tämän isä ja isoveli pieksivät hänet henkihieveriin jotta tästä tulisi tottelevainen vaimo hänen yli kolmekymppiselle serkulleen.

Tämän jälkeen onnellinen aviopari muutti syyriaan jossa alkoi islamilaisittain normaali perhehelvetti. Rania pyysi äitiään auttamaan mutta tämän mielestä tällainen hapatus on haram.

Mahdollisuuden pakoon tarjosi naapurissa asuva tyttö jonka kanssa kommunikointi oli luonnollisesti kielletty. Tämä livautti paperinpalalla englannin suurlähetystön puhelinnumeron ranialle.

Valitettavasti laki ei suonut lähetystön auttavan raniaa ennen kuin hän tulee täysi-ikäiseksi. Täytettyään 18, rania pakeni syyriasta jordaniaan konsulaatin työntekijän ja kahden turvamiehen kanssa. Jordaniasta matka jatkui australiaan.

Isän ja tämän sukulaisten mielestä asia ratkeaa kunniamurhalla, tarkemmin määriteltynä ranian, tämän siskon ja äidin kaulan katkaisulla. Tämä onkin palannut australiaan uuden vaimon sekä muutaman tyttären kanssa. Sosiaaliturvan nauttimisen ohella tämä etsiskelee edellisen perheen naisten kauloja katkaistavaksi.
