Three Sunsets: Early Marriage in Ethiopia

[misskiya]

THIS IS A DISGUSTING, TRADITIONAL PRACTICE OF A MALE DOMINATED CULTURE . THEY HAVE INSTITUTED PEDOPHILIA AS A TRADITION CREATED BY IGNORANT MEN & WOMEN WHO REFUSE 2 LET THE PUSSY GROW 2 MATURITY. THEY ALLOW THERE BABY GIRLS 2 ENDURE SUCH PAINFUL EXPERIENCES PUTTING THEM IN HARMS WAY IS A SURE SIGN THAT THEY LACK GOOD COMMON SENSE. NOW THEY WONDER WHY THE UNIVERSE HAS NOT BLESSED THEIR COUNTRY WITH GREATNESS. JUST BECAUSE THE PLUMBING IS IN DOESN'T MEAN IT'S TIME 2MOVE IN2 THE HOUSE ASSHOLES!

[Bennydyisraelite]

A curse upon Ethiopia until they stand up and fight against this madness

[yoruitsi]

So as I see it this condition fistula is caused by men who are not only child molestors and rapists but are actually dump enough to force their 'manhood' where it clearly doesn't fit. That's yet another proof that Darwinism is bogus, if the fittest survived clearly such men would have perished by now.

[Fronika]

What kind of adult male wants to marry a little girl? Oh yes, a paedophile.

[Breewilly]

These people act like marriage is the only thing to live for.....goodness!

[ozjenva]

Some traditions are just madness, it's that simple.

[startingoutbackwards]

pediophiles

[DaCatOnTop]

[sue7777777ful]

The laws and customs of the Islam world promotes Rape though slavery and unenforceable constraints to conviction of rapists including the rape of a woman by her husband

[mmedefarge]

@christinepeace Ethiopia is not Muslim; it's overwhelmingly Christian. The problem here are the cultural practices.

[recita1717]

@mmedefarge Their majority Catholic, hence the focus on being virgin.

[mmedefarge]

@recita1717 Most Catholics don't get married when they are children. Most of the Abrahamic religions value virginity before marriage.

[mmedefarge]

@recita1717 p.s. The majority of Ethiopians are not Catholic but Ethiopian Orthodox & they follow the Orthodox rite.

[recita1717]

@mmedefarge Ah, thanks for the correction! Still the same principal though, I think, not too sure on whether they support child marriage or not, but the girl has to be virgin.

[mmedefarge]

@mmedefarge All the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) value virginity before marriage.

[KiaOra53]

Completely outrageous. Totally barbaric.

[PorkChopMissPiggy]

Perfect just perfect instead of pushing the kids to become doctors and lawyers they marry these girls off at 8 years old.

[5104560711]

sickening.

[GOUGOUNETTE]

HEY THOSE KID ARE TOO YOUNG TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU FUCKING PEDOPHILE..

[Consoleposterboy]

My fellow Ethiopians, we must put a stop to this madness. Christians, muslims...all of us. City people don't do this much, but we city people must not forget this horror occuring in the rural areas.

[Lalah26]

@supervirtuouswoman First of all please don't curse Jesus! Second, do you honestly still believe in the Hamite theory as all blacks are cursed? Please! This was said to justify slavery, that's all. Third, Africa is a huge continent with thousands of different tribes, languages and cultures. Not all Africans are bad, not all Africans are Christian. I have never been there but your statement is very superficial.

[supervirtuouswoman]

I did want to visit Africa, but i changed my mind. Africans are terrible people. They cut the girls clitoris at age 4 or 5. they force her to get married and do very hard and strenous work. They do not love their families, the men only care about themselves. The God they pray to is not real, he does not love black people. He has cursed all black people. FUCK JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a very misleading and dishonest videos I have seen. Early marriage or teenage marriage and early child birth in teens and girls in their 20s is not the cause of fistula. Fistulla is due to the fact that the poor rural women do not have easy access to c-section, and they have been in labor for days before someone finally takes them to a hospital in the towns. Half my ethiopian friends in the united states have had to have c-sections and they are in their thirties when giving birth.

[lost2darkness]

@simonlives it is more common in young women because they are more likely to have undeveloped hips, and will therefore be more likely to have an obstructed labor - but you are right. Age isnt necessarily the cause of fistula, but girls under 18 are far more likely to have birthing complications.

[100isthebest]

child is child i dont think child is suited for marriage it is for adult who undertand the concept of marriage. peole dont undesrtand tjat marriage is not for children because they are not sexually, mentally and physically immmature.

let the child be child and grow peacufullly, play around feel secure.

it will leave a scar and trauma, mentally it will destroy them.

be kind to the child and dont use them because they dont understand how cruel the world is.

[sozakir]

this is one of the most horrible crimes on earth!!!

to see this video i feel disgusted and lost!

no child ever should experience this. every child has a right to have a carefree and happy childhood.

[ankortful]

I totally agree! This whole thing of arranged (child) marriage is so disgusting and should be stopped immediately!

I am feeling so furious seeing that and knowing that this happens every day again and again and we here in Eurpe dont do anything against it! I mean it's true: key to stop this is education and breaking up the cultural system.

[liyish]

Common this is not a marriage! It is child RAPE... so sad why are adult men allowed to rape our children...
