    I think this situation has shocked the sensibilities of many Arab Muslims too.

    Because it's a different country, with a different culture and beliefs.

    They don't allow them to - they usually force them to. Girls are often used to pay off a debt. Guess how much choice they have.

    I would say tradition. All cultures at one time or another allowed very young people to marry I assume because life expectancies were low.

    Because the Middle East is hella shady and strange. The world boggles my mind. I'm pretty liberal but there's liberals out there who would say it's the worst if it happened here, yet since it's over there it's "their culture" such bullshit.

    Custom and to pay off debt. It's there custom but when you trade off little girls at daddy’s will, that's slavery to me and is unacceptable, doesn’t matter where you come from.
