Børneægteskaber og mishandling af mindreårige finder sted i Muslimistan, men også i andre fattige dele verden som Latinamerika, Indien og Afrika. Saudiarabien skiller sig ud fra disse ved at være et relativt velstående samfund, men omgivelsernes reaktion på pædofile giftermål synes at være som herhjemme:
"In Riyadh Newspaper today there was a report on a 65 year old man who suffers from Hepatitis B applying for a marriage health certificate to marry an eleven year old girl.
The staff at the hospital were shocked not only by the shamelessness of the man but also of the eagerness of the girl’s parents to finish up the paperwork so they can go ahead with the wedding.
So they are knowingly subjecting their daughter to not only a pedophile but also a disease."
Herhjemme er der også forældre, der svigter deres børn på det grusomste, bl.a. ved seksuelt misbrug, men loven er heldigvis mere på børnenes side i vores del af verden.
