At least until she maybe reaches the ripe old age of nine or so.....

Saudi marriage officiant Dr. Ahmad al-Mu’bi told Lebanese television viewers last week that it’s permissible for girls as young as 1 to marry — as long as sex is postponed.

Al-Mu’bi’s remarkable comments also included an explanation that “there is no minimal age for entering marriage.”

“You can have a marriage contract even with a 1-year-old girl, not to mention a girl of 9, 7 or 8,” he said. “But is the girl ready for sex or not?” What is the appropriate age for sex for the first time? This varies according to environment and tradition,” al-Mu’bi said.

It...varies according environment and tradition. Translation: If you’re a pedophile you can justify just about anything if you can hide behind religion and “culture”.

The sad part is (besides the obvious aspects of child molestation that go along with this sort of philosophy) is that these types of culturally isolated and intellectually stunted mutants don’t even know how stupid and creepy they sound when they say things like that.

Of course, that’s just my opinion. What do I know?
