Some man and women are becoming selfish,to some extent that they would like to destroy the life of others.If this is how far man and women can go with their evil nature,i guess we still have more to see,let alone the scourge of rape cripling our country.Its sad to see this horrindable crimes committed ,but the perpetrators are not severly punished.

This matter , we really need to address and sort out immediately.As we are voilating the rights of our future mothers,sisters and doughters.Our society is incomplete without a women.The tribes,which are still practicing this tradition,they must stop it as it is totally became outdated.My sincere request to all of these people,please please please let us save and protect the future of our mothers of the nation.May GOD gives us strength to overcome and stop these kind of cruel practices….(From Malik Zubair…Dubai,UAE..)

World has came to a corner with less alternatives. We need to work hard and do our research properly around the world with the *** relationship and culture, to come to a common resolution.
Something we shall call justifiable. as is not enough to call everthing idiotic acts when we dont give options.
1. Indians are doing the arranged marrieges in general, that is between parents about their girls to get married to a boy she did nt choose , which can be termed child trafficking /sale by parents or girls rape by a boy in a democratic world.
2. We are not aware much about Europeans but , Josef fritz ,in Austria has just been found having kept his own daughter as his wife and bred several children ,which is a non human sexual practice than animals in generally.
3.Europeans in general where democracy is thought to be a practice, women are choosing boy friends following their own wills, but negative part of it there is no control as some exploit that right to have as many boyfriends as possible, the problem being that when she becomes pregnant, the mother does nt know who the childs father is untill DNA test is done , which is unhealthy to normal humans or a child abuse in a sense. or not different from dogs behaveour to menshion.
4. In africa where women make their own choice for a man without parents involvement, women turn to have premature sexual relationship, that results in woman having different children with different men ,known to her or not, which is not healthy to a traditional and cultural base family. As an individual family is entitled to one surname ,with members of the family sharing a common denominator which is a surname ,from one father.
5.Women making their choice in sexual relationship without parents guide seems to be negatively, not getting respect to their partners thus leaving a question whether lobola should stay as means to re inforce womans value and respect than being viewed as ,selling a women by parent than valued bride price for women value and dignity.for women self esteem.
6. Zulus in S.A. has always been unique by using elder women as inspector and trainers to young women to abstain from *** as culturally responsible and obeying the kings role, a virgin woman making her choice to a boy friend with her elder sisters and mothers advise/ guide than pressure, no *** before marriage and ofcourse bride price/ lobola being paid, however there was only one marrige for a woman, Ofcourse a man was suppose to protest if a woman happened to be not a virgin by any means in her marriage to which a discount was an option to the expected bride price or marriage being cancelled.
8. Christianity came with dominant holy teaching, however no clear bussiness plan re marriage culture,
in some instances women are being pressurised by elders of the church to marry a man deemed good by the church but not a womens choice or sometimes men would manipulate women with their faith to get their sexual favours, assuming holy word or vision told a man to take a woman as his wife, however no proof can be given for that. Bride price still applies , which others regard as women for sale/lobola / parents giving a girl to man for self enrichment.
All in all a man cannot live without a culture but we need a clear guidence than rhetorics, we must not shout fouls or call each other fools, but let people decide what is relevant our societies to hold on against this social changes and dianamics we found ourselves stuck in.

Comment on “Sunday Live: Parents sell girls as child brides”

THINKAGAIN

Have South Africa’s traditional leaders ever read the Bills of Rights at the front of the Constitution?

South africa is a rainbow nation which means people from different upbrings ,with different cultures living together and informarly teaching each other good and bad habits.
No regulation has been set to ensure uniformity in this country for different people living together than assumptions.
Indians are practicing arranged marrieges, which to me from a different cuture does nt mean anything normal or constructive then seeying parents selling their children to other parents who have got money to enrich themselves.
Without considering the love emotions to their daughter being sold for a price. And the the boy on the other side actively raping the girl with the finacial support by his parents but against the girls consent.
Is this rainbow nation healthy? why can t you just let the indians out and back to India their home land where this practice is a culture, than keeping them here because their practice constitute a crime here namely rape then anything.
Unless for them to live here ,they have to adapt to the countries practice.
No child for sale for rape ,under any circumstantances!

its so unhuman. these girls are safer with poisenous snakes than these people. shame on us

busisiwe msauli-Mabusana

this is horrific , we need to stand together as the future leaders of this country {most importantly women}and fight this ,let our vioces be heard we cannot stand for this, our human rights are being violated here, where are the parents that are suppose to protect us from the evil jaws of this world.What is the government doing, we know awareness compaigns have been done to death but impact assessment should be the next step, maybe the message is not communicated effectively and vigorously to the citizens of Mzantsi. we have rights and this government has given us a voice lets use it.

Hang 'em High

Hm, Now i am happy with this but nevertheless not entirely convinced, therefore i am going to research a touch more.
