Islamic marriages to child brides are legal in Canada, say Canadian officials.
Muslim men immigrating to Canada frequently bring their wives, who in the case of many Islamic nations may have been legally married as small children or teenagers.
According to Canadian immigration services, many of these men then attempt to sponsor their “wives” for dependent visas.
One official denied a Pakistani man a visa for his 15-year-old wife, but was frustrated to find that the marriage itself remained legal, official documents reveal:
“I can find no section (of law) that states the marriage is ‘invalid’ or ‘void.’ I am afraid the age does not invalidate the marriage even if it is illegal to marry.”
Canadian immigration officials say they reject applications for spousal visas where the spouse is clearly underage, and it is clearly illegal to marry children in Canada, but that pre-existing marriages to children are unaffected.

Nevertheless .... Islam + Muslims = *BIG FACEPALM*
Fundamental Islam + Very Conservative Muslims = BIG FACEPALM
You people have to realize that it is forbidden in Islam to have a marriage with one person not wanting it, also this is mainly cultural to have younger wives and this practice is mainly present in extremely rural parts, Before criticizing a religion based on what you have elicited from the corrupt media, research that topic to reveal the actual truth. Beleive it or not, Muslims like these and terrorists make up about 4 percent of the 1.6 billion Muslim Population. Infact, if you looked at and read the Qur'an, you would realize that these people in the article and terrorists are in fact not Muslims. Dont scapegoat a third of the worlds population based on 4 percent of the actual people in it.
4% is a massive number when you think about it.
that's 1 in every 25 muslims
4% of 1.6 billion = sixty-four million
quite a significant number
how you come to that conclusion that %4 of muslims live like this ?
Turkey got 70 millions and we have never heard marriage like this for the recent years.
Stop the ignorance please, and read some books, watch non-manipulated news. Terrorism in western countries pawns terrorism in muslim countries.
Time to change religions
So you (Canada) ban shit like Words Worth and Cool Devices because it contains rape which you find obscene (despite being fictional) yet this shit's perfectly legal. Yeah, okay Canada.
Some Canadians don't like it any more than you. Emigrating is tougher than one might assume.
I will sound sick saying this, but I see no problem with this. It isn't like they are marrying within the borders of Canada, but they are legally married outside Canada and come into Canada as a married couple. It isn't Canada's choice on what constitutes a legal marriage someplace else, so why should this cause outrage?
Canada's law is getting more confusing and unstable. What will they think of next?
lol. Islamic? too much serious about marriage.
Just....wow.
Meanwhile, any representations of underage sex, including anime and writing is strictly illegal. What a pathetic country Canada is.
But 2D loli is illegal, god forbid something were to happen to fictional characters!
The Japs are still crying over the loss of their legal 3D porn.
Another little-known quirk of the law that says marriages performed legally in other countries are legally valid in Canada: Although polygamy is (tenuously) illegal in Canada, there are several immigrants to Canada legally recognized as married to more than one wife by virtue of being married in an Islamic country.
I think this has to do with Canada's preference of multi-culturism. It's in the nation's Charter or Rights and Freedoms not to indiscriminate because of race(and customs was it?)and stuff.
Imported 3D loli wives are A-okay but Imported 2D loli waifus aren't..? Hmmph..
If the husband was a Japanese Shintoist rather than a Muslim you all lolicons would be greeting the guy.
Haha. Probably.
i hope the new season of southpark has episode about this xD
Meanwhile, 2d abstract drawings of females who look like Hirano Tomomi are still illegal in Canada.
wait wait wait so if i go to canada with sum loli manga ( lets say im on a road trip for relatives) ill get arrested for looking at a girl that never existed but if im islamic and i get married over there and bring a 15 year old WIFE with me back to canada and wont get arrested? GOD DAMMIT I HATE THEIR 9/11 NORTH TOWER TOWEL HEADDED ASSES
Technically they could still get arrested for anything sexual the marriage is legal thats all
Of course you could be sexual the next year. A couple years ago, 14 was age too.
...let me get this straight.
Lolicon manga is illegal in Canada, but being a Muslim and marrying a REAL child is not.
WHISKEY. FOXTROT. FUCKING. TANGO.
No, you misunderstand. They don't allow lolis to be wed here, they just allow muslim men to bring their loli brides with them and consider the marriage valid even if they were married as 2 year old toddlers and clearly didn't give any informed consent to it.
But of course, if a Canadian citizen went overseas to visit the middle east and get himself a loli bride, that'd be child sex tourism.
Hypocrisy is fun.
We canadiens are just too dam nice :(
Now if that was America...
*pffffft* you guys make me laugh!
Look at them comments! It's like someone just killed a kid in front of a police station and was found innocent...
with what's kids are up to at school these days, I'm not surprised.
And think about it: Marriage and sex are completely different things. Infact, a lot of married people don't even know what sex is! (Rural areas boy, where there is no subject called 'biology')
What I'm against is that some parents force their kids to agree to marriage. No wonder the kids run away from their old husbands... sick. And most of them do it for the money. Sick people.
15 years old girl is old enough to birth a child.....and remember the wise proverb : old enough to bleed, old enough to breed.....it's just the LAW of NATURE.......according to some researchs, healthy male tends to prefer the younger mate for himself.....and in the ANCIENT ROME it is LEGAL for you to marry a teenagers.....so I think it's not a problem to MARRY a young girl.....the PROBLEM is : WHEN YOU HAVE A XXX with a female outside of marriage.....so what can be defined as PEDOBEAR / PEDOPHILE / LOLICON nowadays, is actually a continuous healthy traditions for human to exist and multiply.....THE ROMANS, THE ARABS, THE CHINESE....AND ALSO THE JAPANESE knew that already....but only in USA, a person like that can be considered " the 2nd most dangerous human" next to terrorists and MANIAC KILLERS......WTF with your AGE OF CONSENT-federal law, Mr. Alfred F. Jones ????
what's wrong about hearing that a man marries with a 15 year old girl, where girls having sex in their 13-14's?
i heard that some condom manufacturers discussed and decided to produce condoms for 14 year childs.
So, if we are going to accuse somebody, the "Pakistani" is not the 1st in line.
Would you prefer the condoms being too big and the 13 year old getting knocked-up?
Wouldn't be an issue if America had better sex-ed beyond "This is a penis, this is a pussy, and nary the twain shall meet until marriage"...but that's conservative world for ya.
If I were 13 and noticed that the condom was too big, I'd certainly stop having sex until I was big enough for them. That's why making smaller condoms is wrong and corrupts our children.
If your horny and you want to put it in, nothing in the universe can stop you. It's the truth don't lie to yourself
this article makes me sad that I am a Canadian - it is illegal to view loli doujin but it is perfectly fine to bring in a loli wife
*facepalm*
As to it is not legal to have sex with loli wife - do you think the police are going to stay in the house of the couple to make sure this isn't going to happen?
Heck, I would, would even volunteer without pay.
Loli doujins get around that by cliaming the lolis are underdeveloped adults.
GG loophole. That being said, nobody's gona lock you up for fapping to a fictional character. Them cops got their hands full ganking pedophiles in the real world.
It's like,
"Hey, this kid looks cute!"
*goes out with kid on a date*
"Hell yeah I'm marrying her! I've to propose to her in our next date!"
"Hm, gotta find another day for a date!"
*Talks to kid online for next date*
*JAILED*
First of all, the last prophet didn't marry Aisha when she was 9, the prophet marrie her after she reached puberty, she was actually around 18 or 19 when she got married.
Citation needed.
who the hell want marry 15 years old girl except pedos?
and also who want multiple wifes? true men only have 1 room for one heart~
13-year-olds are sexually mature, so it is natural for a normal man to feel attracted to them, especially since young women are often the healthiest and therefore appear the prettiest.
Also, men are biologically programmed to have sex with as many women as possible, so it is natural for a normal man to have sex with as many women as possible.
In conclusion, you are not a normal, "true" man.
Did everyone miss this?
The marriage is considered legal (they don't invalidate marriages in other countries) but they cannot bring their underage wives into the country.
As I understand it they can bring them in but not get spouse visas for them. I presume there are other legal means for keeping them in country.
you can't sponser them then if they're not being sponsered as their wife. unless they've married their sister, daugther or mother then no go.
That only means they can't bring them in as wives, if they wanted to get a visa for them as their kids or something it might be possible.
yeessssssss i lets go to canada!!!
You cannot do anything anymore once you enter the country though, so be warned.
no thx i don't want to be eat by a pedobear ....
I'm with you buddy!
ISSLAAAAAAAAAM...does it again.
the one who did this is the law of Canada, not Islam religion.
Title is a little misleading and the quote is out of context. It's certainly not legal to marry an under aged person in Canada.
that is where the " " comes in.
Canadian laws also says that fat people are entitled to TWO airplane seats for the price of one.
Well, with an airline that flies there, they are required to purchase the second seat. Since they are a burden to other customers.
I won't be afraid to spell it out aloud - AMERICAN AIRLINES.
They are not the only airlines.
Air Canada! Good/fun food, Personal touch screen on the back of every seat with movies tv shows games and radio!
.........huh?? So to fly to Canada it's necessary to purchase at least two seats?
Only if your a fat ass, that can't fit into a general class seat with the arm rests down. With certain airlines.
lol. Wow. It kind of makes sense...
Canada's legal system can't touch this because its legal in another country.Yet, in Canada it's illegal to have sex with children even underage marrage.
Equality now! End self discrimination against native Canadians! Lolis for one, lolis for all!
I see a certain German converting and moving to Canada after a visit to South West Asia.
South east asia. Landmass of asia stick toward the east.
Who me?
Hello,
I'm the official representative of Equality Now in Sankaku Complex.
This matter is disturbing indeed however we are powerless when law says it's ok to import up to 4 lolis for your daily needs.
We will instead continue to press our efforts to save imaginable children from imagined sexual predators using imaginative means of sexual assault often not even possible irl. Please keep rooting for us!!
Yours always,
♡Agnes-chaaan （＾ω－）☆
xoxoxo
Philippines? ha! they don't even control regular porn much less loli ones.
"Loli manga is not illegal in canada"
The usual added instance of dangerous misinformation.
Loli manga -IS- illegal in Canada.
(just as much as it is in Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Philippines and Ireland)
Not surprising. If they are married acording to islamic law then a country doesn't have any right to... in lack of a better word from my vocabulary, divorce them.
HOWEVER, sex with minors is still illegal, regardless of marriage. So having sex with your underaged wife is a no-no.
This is just an example of how there are many people who will take advantage over a flow in laws...
I don't think the underage/child that got married over this way even know what happening to them...
invalidate the marriage...
Confusing as shit.
Thank you for protecting the rights of those who never existed =3
or better?
Agnes chan how dare you come to our place of peace!
ANGES CHAN ANGES CHAN!
*Roars of the crowd!*
I lol'd hard.
So what they mean is that, even though it's illegal to even communicate with children online in Canada, and posessing any loli content is illegal in Canada (cause you know, fictional kids need protection too!), it's perfectly fine to import your loli sex sla--....I mean..."wife"? Wow Canada. You guys sure are getting more and more lame...
Loli manga is not illegal in canada
Consenting age use to be 14 in Canada its the rest of the world's lameness raising that age in Canada.
Agnes got gang raped once and now has multiple STDs.
I find that it's better they allow the girl to be let into Canada. I see no flaw with this. It's better than remaining in Islam.
legal loopholes gotta love em.
More like none at all. Oh great and too fcuking nice people of Canada~!
So, can we marry lolis legally but leave out the converted part? I don't find praying 5 times a day very fun at all...
This is rich. You go to jail in Canada for talking to kids online but you can bring in and fuck underage wives...
It's time to convert and move to Canada if you're into the little girls.
No matter where you live, it's way too easy to molest young children. No need to move anywhere.
So tru i Agree 100%
Why? It is also legal in the US.
You just need to be an Muslim immigrant. And the US will recognize your first FOUR marriages as all legal. Even if th wife is 8 or 9, as long as it is legal from where they are from (so technically 4 for Saudi Arabia, but since that's a PROMISARY marriage and not a functional one, they'll barf on that).
But if you are a citizen, no way. Which is why the later generations do all sorts of games importing their new wives from "the old country" (regardless of age).
Does anyone actually realise that under Islamic law, its not permissible to have sex with your underage wife? IF there are any cases of that happening (and I'm 100% sure there is) then that was not allowed under our religion and any Muslim claiming that it is, is just wrong :/
Tis all, peace out brah.
INB4 downvotedtohellforactuallyknowingwhati'mtalkingabout
Mohammed got away with screwing his 9 year old wife. Are you suggesting that the Prophet was in violation of Islamic law?
This is incorrect. They did not do such things until she was mature enough. ;) You really don't know your facts.
Plus, people matured earlier at that time.
Mind assigning a number of years to that "mature" of yours?
IF ISLAM RECONISES THIS, THEN WHY THE FUCK DO THEY ALLOW THESE MARRAIGES?
He married her at 6. They started having sex when she was 8 or 9. Please get your facts correct.
They married when she was 6. She didn't start truly servicing him until she was 8. He waited for her to mature into a young woman, and that's what all who follow are expeced to do.
Please get your facts straight.
Actually, you can. But if you damage the girl in a permanent way, then you have to take care of her for the rest of her life.
Most clerics suggest that you don't use a young bride for full sexual release. However, as any wife must serve and service her husband as he demands, when he demands, it is suggested that her usage be kept to her mouth and hands until she is 8. Most 8 years are physically capable of performing sex for their husbands without incurring significant permanent physical damage.
Just ask the Imam (via the Ask the Iman site) if you doubt me.
And to your last line.. Yes, this is true. Those who actually knows their facts will most likely get criticized, down-voted, called child molester and what not.
You molest children. It might be legal for you to do so (since, say, 12 year old girls are likely to not be considered underage anymore in ~90% of Islamic theocracies), but you still molest them. Why not call you child molester?
And exactly what constitutes "underage wife" in a backwards religion like Islam. Not even taking into account how many of their provinces seem to "write their own rules" that seem likely to be based only loosely on the Korran.
All religions are backwards... no matter how you look at it.
All religions are bullshits... no matter how you look at it.
8 years old and below, according to most clerics. Yeah, the mind boggles.
This was a reply to "And exactly what constitutes "underage wife" in a backwards religion like Islam." above. I used the Reply button of that comment, so I don't know why the commenting system decided to post it at the end.
To whomever moved it to its proper location, thanks!
I think they are too busy looking for something they can use to criticize Islam. Narrow-minded and ignorant. :) It's pretty silly to put the focus on Islam itself in this article, but that's what the media does. Take one Muslim (or someone who calls himself a Muslim but does not really follow it) who steals, for instance, and they make it sound like all Muslims are thieves and worse, and people really believes it. :)
if that's the case, why marry at all?
not saying marraige is for sex but saying marrying a child is wrong btw, you're simply saying that they're not allowed to go further with wrongness.
a bit like how child pornography is wrong, but the fact that they dont have sex with the child makes it better....?
> Why marry at all?
They had their reasons. Even I can think of possible reasons why their situation turned out that way, which does not involve sex and such things. From this article, you can't possibly understand what their reason is (whether good or bad).
wait wait wait....are you AGREEEING with child marraiges?
am i getting this right guys or have i horribly misinterpreted that reply?
i dont know about you anon, but child marraige for any reason is wrong, like how rape is wrong no matter what your reasons (and inb4 rape jokes)
Why marry at all? Because in many places where Sharia law is the law of the land, marrying a young daughter off gets her a secured home and established provider. It lets her start her life becoming a part of his household. Remember, in most places of the world, she won't be in his house alone. They don't just live in a nucleus family--- they live in an extended family. She'll be put to work as part of the females of the house, doing chores and looking after smaller children.
It's a good deal for many, and sometimes their only option when not doing so would only leave prostitution.
Nobody said anything about fucking them. Unless the statutory rape law in Canada has a clear exception for marriage (which wouldn't make sense), then I think the legal precedence would work out in such a way that these men could be legally married but not able to legally fuck their wives. Could be wrong though..
I think it's obvious that if they're married, they're fucking
if it's illegal to have underage sex in canada...and the man's clearly had sex with an underage girl elsewhere (not in canada)then can they arrest him on that?
even ignoring that, if they bring their underage wives into canada, can they arrest him for having sex with an underage wife?
Islam is not a country.
You, Sir, are an idiot.
'Lo. Canadian from British Columbia here.
Marriage is regulated provincially in Canada, though there are some things that are universal.
In B.C., technically, someone under the age of 16 (the age of consent in Canada) can get married. However, it takes the permission of the Supreme Court of British Columbia to do so and it would be highly likely that would not be forthcoming until after the petitioner turned 16 anyway (when only parental permission is required).
Oh, and you can marry your 1st cousin legally in Canada. It is not considered incest by law.
It could be possible. It still better than remaining in Islam.
Married but not fucking? That is CLEARLY wrong.
But joking aside, given that these girls HAVE been fucked, the state should use them to analyze the effect of sexuality in their personalities so see if it really destroys their life to have consensual sex.
On the other hand them being Muslims girls probably are already messed up in the head beyond any hope.
after i thought about what i said in 9:09 it would seem this would be entrapment so it may not happen... but if it does apply and they do use it as a way to reveal who is married to a underage girl and arrest them or annul the marriage under statutory rape law that would be a good thing i guess
Willing hostage by marital contract. That's a new one.
Well that's pretty much a guarantee. At the very least they're affected with stockholm syndrome.
Yes, but your expecting government officials in Canada to think of this (better chance of these Muslims turning their lolis loose than that). You'd be better off sending them a letter with the details.
i think they have to consummate the marriage or it can be annulled so if they do not allow statutory rape then they can possibly arrest them if they have consummated or annul the marriage, if they haven yet to consummate...
either way a possibly way to free the children only if the statutory rape law supersedes the marriage...
This
is
Apple sauce
CANADA!
THE NEW HOLY LAND!
