About fucking time, Saudi Arabia...

[Wyrd of Gawd]

I'm wondering if it'll just be another law that sounds good at first but just turns out to be waffle. After all, you're talking about a religion where paedophilia supposedly isn't allowed.... Not that it's banned, they just see reaching puberty as reaching adulthood.

Still, it's a start.

Pedophilia in Islam is not only accepted but also encouraged - as it goes: Muhammad is the perfect example to live by and the only person's example to model one's life on. Muhammad married Aisha when she was 6 but since he didn't molest her until she was 9 it is generally agreed that 9 is the better age of a child but Islamic Hadith doesn't forbid having sex with a younger child instead condoning sex on the basis of "maturity of character", and left to the discretion of the rapist-husband. As a master of a young kafir, I don't think there is any such "protections" at all.

The Jewish Babylonian Talmud says that they're good to go at any age.  And the age of consent was seven in Delaware in 1895.  It used to be ten in California.  Slave owners didn't have to worry about such things.
