“The Prophet [ﷺ] married Aisha when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old.” - The revered Sahih al-Bukhari, 5134; Book 67, Hadith 70. Mohammed ra.ped a 9 yr old Aisha. Forced marriage. A 6 yr old cannot consent to marriage. And a 9 yr old cannot consent to sex. Common sense. Simple logic. Narrated 'Urwa: The Prophet (ﷺ) asked Abu Bakr for `Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu Bakr said "But I am your brother." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You are my brother in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for me to marry." حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عِرَاكٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَطَبَ عَائِشَةَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّمَا أَنَا أَخُوكَ، فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَنْتَ أَخِي فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ وَكِتَابِهِ وَهْىَ لِي حَلاَلٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 5081In-book reference : Book 67, Hadith 19. Aishas father didn't even approve of Mohammed marrying Aisha. Sunan Abi Dawud 2147 Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife. حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَوْدِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُسْلِيِّ، عَنِ الأَشْعَثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يُسْأَلُ الرَّجُلُ فِيمَا ضَرَبَ امْرَأَتَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ Grade: Da'if (Al-Albani) ضعيف (الألباني)حكم : Reference : Sunan Abi Dawud 2147In-book reference : Book 12, Hadith 102English translation : Book 11, Hadith 2142 Hitting your wife is acceptable. Surah 3:151: "We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve (all non-Muslims) …" Surah 2:191: "And kill them (non-Muslims) wherever you find them … kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers (non-Muslims)." Surah 9:5: "Then kill the disbelievers (non-Muslims) wherever you find them, capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush …" Sahih al-Bukhari 304 Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) of `Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion." حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي زَيْدٌ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ أَسْلَمَ ـ عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي أَضْحًى ـ أَوْ فِطْرٍ ـ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى، فَمَرَّ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ، فَإِنِّي أُرِيتُكُنَّ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقُلْنَ وَبِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ، وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ، مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ أَذْهَبَ لِلُبِّ الرَّجُلِ الْحَازِمِ مِنْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْنَ وَمَا نُقْصَانُ دِينِنَا وَعَقْلِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَيْسَ شَهَادَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ مِثْلَ نِصْفِ شَهَادَةِ الرَّجُلِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْنَ بَلَى‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَذَلِكَ مِنْ نُقْصَانِ عَقْلِهَا، أَلَيْسَ إِذَا حَاضَتْ لَمْ تُصَلِّ وَلَمْ تَصُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْنَ بَلَى‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَذَلِكَ مِنْ نُقْصَانِ دِينِهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 304In-book reference : Book 6, Hadith 9USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 1, Book 6, Hadith 301 (deprecated numbering scheme) Mohammed women are deficient in the mind. Let's not forget the women recently killed for simply not having their head covered. I live in Toronto Ontario Canada and a Muslim man and his son pushed a car into a lake drowning his daughters because his eldest daughter was talking to boy and her sisters knew about it but didn't tell him. She brought shame to the family. It was an honor killing. She's doing Muslim women a huge disservice by saying Islam doesn't teach men they can rape and abuse their wife/wives. They can also have sex slaves on the side. The verses I posted above are just a few examples.

As a person whose sister got sexually abused by a stepfather, I want to tell my story. When I was 17(20 now) I lived with my sister(14 at the time) , my mum, and my stepfather. Around this time I had 12+ years of kickboxing, boxing, and BJJ training experience so I was well-fit and capable of protecting myself and my sister. One night at 2 am while I was fast asleep my stepfather must've planned on assaulting my sister(For years he was known as a creep and a pervert towards her). He snuck into her room which is across the hall from where mine was and held a knife to her while he began to assault her. The ruckus they made woke me up and I turned on my bedside lamp. I forever think about what would've happened if I didn't. This caught his attention and he came into my room and stood over me as I was still adjusting to the light he stabbed me with the knife in my side( I assume he knew that with my fighting background I could fuck him up in a fair fight if I found out), just missing vitals but leaving the knife wedged in as I managed to push him away with my legs. My first instinct was to get up and out of there but he was literally in between the door and myself. He cursed me out and went to grab the knife again(i assume that's what he tried) but I shoved him against my desk and let off a 1 2 to his chin hoping to rock him enough to GTFO. I grabbed my sister who was standing in the hall screaming and hobbled to the kitchen to grab my phone and car keys(I was losing blood by the second). my sister helped me into the passenger side of the car and she started to drive(we lived outside of town) us into town while she called the cops and struggled to explain what had happened. At this time I had pretty much passed out from shock and blood loss. The rest I was told by my sister, I ended up in hospital while the police caught him at the house trying to manipulate my mother on what had happened. He ended up getting massive prison time for attempted murder and rape and I have some pretty gnarly scars to show from it. I probably wouldn't be in good shape if my sister wasn't as strong and brave as she was 3 years ago and if I didn't have as much training as I have I probably would've been dead and my sister seriously hurt. My heart goes out to all of the brave women who have to deal with these monsters.

All have done evil “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) The penalty for sin is hell (Revelation 21:8). Because of Gods love for us Jesus Christ came down from heaven to take the punishment for our sin on the cross in which he was spat on, beaten, mocked and laughed at. Christ died for the sins of the world and The third day God raised him from the dead (Praise God). This was done so that those who believe on Christ will not perish (hell) but have life everlasting (heaven); be justified by Gods grace through redemption in Christ (John 3:16) (Romans 3:24). The blood Jesus shed on the cross washes away our sin if we Believe in The Son of God and his finished work (ordained by God) on the cross. When this happens the believer receives the righteousness of Christ in place of their own unrighteousness (all sins are forgiven) and this makes them saved (going heaven) and they are born again as a Christian. (Romans 3:25-26)

When another opportunity presents where you can speak out, do that too. That is how we do it, once shout-out, one supportive statement, one affirmation at a time. Thank-you.

Well my mother too went through FGM. She was young and thought it was a good thing needless to say she went through a lot of pain. I grew up in America (my mother is from Somalia) and she tells us even if we were born here she would never do that to us even snipping a little bit

Your mother gave you excellent advice before she past. To move away from all the toxic unhealthy abusive relationships is the best thing you did for yourself. I'm going to move also and go somewhere no one else knows me and start over after the years and years of abuse I went through in my lifetime.

But also by England, that should have prevented this by at least providing fair information on what could she expect from her amazing culture and marvelled country (bare in mind, she was underage when she left). I can't imagine and comprehend what she went through. She is incredibly courage to speak out about her story and I just hope that her story at least prevents other girls like her who live in developed civilized countries from terrible cases like this. And yes, there is nothing wrong to call countries, where the rights of their citizens are protected, civilized.

Very, very true! And actually, traditions are forbidden in Islam (so ‘cultures are forbidden’), which is good, because so many girls are being harmed because of m!sogynist ‘cultural' nonsense that God didn't approve of. Evidence that 'culture/traditions' is something that God is against, is in verse 2:170 in the quran. If we made this information go viral, then girls can better be protected from the psych0s that want to hurt them. It is also forbidden to care about what people say (which is fantastic because many ‘families’ unfortunately care about what people say, but, if those families respect God, then they shouldn’t care about what people say, because he ordered people not to care about what people say, and to fear him instead, the scripture is in 2:150). Also, anyone that harms women and girls will burn in hell forever (Since an atom's size of arrogance will make a person burn in hell forever, according to what the prophet of Islam said, and forced ‘marriage’ is both arrogant & forbidden; honor killings are also both arrogant & forbidden in Islam, and abuse is an arrogant behavior, too). So any male that harms women and girls will burn in hell forever. 1 in 3 women suffers from physical or sex*al v!olence from a male intimate partner so we need to raise awareness to help them. And the prophet himself married divorced women (and widowed women, too), as a clear sign that women had the right to divorce and get married again to someone else, too, if they wanted. His adopted son’s wife divorced his adopted son without giving any reason for the divorce and the prophet allowed that, so clearly, no one has a right to pressure a woman to stay in a marriage that she doesn’t want. And, any forced ‘marriage’ is invalid so any children born from it are illegitimate according to Islam (because the actual consent of the woman is essential to make a marriage valid). And FGM is an arrogant psych0tic practice (and arrogant people burn in hell forever, in islam). And child ‘marriage’ is forbidden because God ordered for fairness, and it is unfair for the girl to be tortured and tormented for the sick pleasure of the weak male (and he is weak, since he is exploiting and torturing a girl or a woman), and Aisha never got pregnant so it is unfair to compare her situation to the rest of her gender (Aisha is the third wife of the prophet that males like to imagine she was 9 when she got married, but, she never got pregnant, so males are very illogical and sick for comparing her to the rest of her gender; she never went through the difficulties of pregnancy and she never gave birth, so she never dealt with vaginal tears and she never got continence that often happens to girls who give birth. Again, God ordered people to be fair, so it isn’t fair to compare Aisha to the rest of her gender, since most of her gender can get pregnant unlike her, so child ‘marriage’ is forbidden because it is forbidden to be unfair). Do you believe that sharing this info would make the world a better place for girls and women? Would you please share such info with journalists?

All have done evil “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) The penalty for sin is hell (Revelation 21:8). Because of Gods love for us Jesus Christ came down from heaven to take the punishment for our sin on the cross in which he was spat on, beaten, mocked and laughed at. Christ died for the sins of the world and The third day God raised him from the dead (Praise God). This was done so that those who believe on Christ will not perish (hell) but have life everlasting (heaven); be justified by Gods grace through redemption in Christ (John 3:16) (Romans 3:24). The blood Jesus shed on the cross washes away our sin if we Believe in The Son of God and his finished work (ordained by God) on the cross. When this happens the believer receives the righteousness of Christ in place of their own unrighteousness (all sins are forgiven) and this makes them saved (going heaven) and they are born again as a Christian. (Romans 3:25-26)

I’ve also experienced being shamed for what they both did to me and also told never to talk about it because nobody is going to want to be with a rape victim or domestic violence victim. It took years for me to understand none of it was my fault and it IS ok to talk about it especially if it helps with the healing process. I also learned that the people who claimed nobody would ever love me or want to marry me because I’m a victim are so full of $hit! I’m not a victim, I’m a survivor and been married for over 8 years now and he accepts me for me, scars and all. To anyone out there too scared to talk, you’re not at fault and are allowed to speak up. There’s so many support groups out there and if that’s too much you can talk to me.

​@@gloriapichardo3310 When they're sewn a small hole is left for urine and period blood, however it's too small for penetration. But due to its small size it makes peeing and periods uncomfortable at best, agonizing at worst.

What a terrible turn of events during your gap year. I’m so happy you are working thru the trauma and towards healing. ❤

Incredible brave lady, live a beautiful life with your little daughter xx

When my mother worked for DHS, she was assigned to an international airport. While working incoming flights, she would take young women aside additional search procedures. She took them to a private room and would explain to them that they were safe and if they needed to escape, to let her know now, and they would be freed. She caught more than one kidnapper this way. It was almost always 50+ yr old men with 16-19 yr old "brides." It would blow you away to know how many of these people have come to America and not known they could truly escape. We have entire organizations whose whole purpose is to hide these women from their families and kidnapper's family. If you suspect something is off with a female friend/acquaintance whatever have you, mention it. Gently.

and the fact she’s still here to tell all this this had me in tears

Shamsa, you use your voice to help others, and keep them from experiencing the horror you went through from age 6 onward. You are strong and beautiful. Bless you for baring your soul, and speaking up. May your life continue to be a happy healthy one with your precious little girl.

Heart breaking story. You are such a strong person and I wish you nothing but love, strength, healing and hope that you will one day over come this trauma ❤

Why did her parents ever allowed her to go back to Somalia in the first place? I cannot imagine what I would do if my brother had done this to my child. What sick practice and mindset of some people, they will literally not care if their own daughters, wives or nieces are going through torture.

I was wondering the same. It was a dangerous time for women to go there.

I was 13 when I first heard about this. I haven’t learned to stop feeling rage whenever I hear about this crime being done against girls and women. It was probably the first time I actually wanted to kill to protect - without even understanding what that means. I hope more survivors will come out to educate the world about the truth of this evil being done. I really commend her and other women like her who survived. I can only imagine what kind of trauma would have overwhelmed me if it happened to me.

So, so true! And the thing is, traditions are forbidden in Islam (so ‘cultures are forbidden’), which is good, because many so many girls are being harmed because of m!sogynist ‘cultural' nonsense that God didn't approve of. Evidence that 'culture/traditions' is something that God is against, is in verse 2:170 in the quran. If we made this information go viral, then girls can better be protected from the psych0s that want to hurt them. It is also forbidden to care about what people say (which is fantastic because many ‘families’ unfortunately care about what people say, but, if those families respect God, then they shouldn’t care about what people say, because he ordered people not to care about what people say, and to fear him instead, the scripture is in 2:150). Also, anyone that harms women and girls will burn in hell forever (Since an atom's size of arrogance will make a person burn in hell forever, according to what the prophet of Islam said, and forced ‘marriage’ is both arrogant & forbidden; honor killings are also both arrogant & forbidden in Islam, and abuse is an arrogant behavior, too). So any male that harms women and girls will burn in hell forever. 1 in 3 women suffers from physical or sex*al v!olence from a male intimate partner so we need to raise awareness to help them. And the prophet himself married divorced women (and widowed women, too), as a clear sign that women had the right to divorce and get married again to someone else, too, if they wanted. His adopted son’s wife divorced his adopted son without giving any reason for the divorce and the prophet allowed that, so clearly, no one has a right to pressure a woman to stay in a marriage that she doesn’t want. And, any forced ‘marriage’ is invalid so any children born from it are illegitimate according to Islam (because the actual consent of the woman is essential to make a marriage valid). And FGM is an arrogant psych0tic practice (and arrogant people burn in hell forever, in islam). And child ‘marriage’ is forbidden because God ordered for fairness, and it is unfair for the girl to be tortured and tormented for the sick pleasure of the weak male (and he is weak, since he is exploiting and torturing a girl or a woman), and Aisha never got pregnant so it is unfair to compare her situation to the rest of her gender (Aisha is the third wife of the prophet that males like to imagine she was 9 when she got married, but, she never got pregnant, so males are very illogical and sick for comparing her to the rest of her gender; she never went through the difficulties of pregnancy and she never gave birth, so she never dealt with vaginal tears and she never got continence that often happens to girls who give birth. Again, God ordered people to be fair, so it isn’t fair to compare Aisha to the rest of her gender, since most of her gender can get pregnant unlike her, so child ‘marriage’ is forbidden because it is forbidden to be unfair). Do you believe that sharing this info would make the world a better place for girls? Would you please share such info with journalists?

@@alissalatour7332Sadly, it is needed in some cases. My stepbrother was finally taken to the doctor when he was 11 or 12 because of constant infections. His anatomy did not allow him to properly clean to prevent infections. The doctor said he should be circumcised though limitedly because they would continue and even get worse as he got older. However, the doctor said for it not to be done until he was through his teen years because it would cause him too much emotional trauma. Hopefully, he was later able to practice hygiene in such way it was never needed. With the said, I've always understood the ONLY reason for FGM is to reduce the amount of pleasure a woman can have with sex so she will not be unfaithful to her husband! In other words, one more way for men to control women. In both the case of FGM and circumcision, it is like removing the appendix - totally unnecessary unless there is a specific problem. (However, if doctors are performing an abdominal surgery, they will take the appendix if convenient "to prevent problems later!" Now they have learned the appendix is an important part of our immune system.)

Shamsa, I'm in tears.... I'm feeling angry and sorry about your story and what you had to endure, but also shocked and mismerised by how strong and beautiful you are even after all the ordeal you have been forced to! Women are amazing and should be loved, appreciated and cherished! Anybody that doesn't do that and relies instead to force, violence and humiliation is only reflecting his onw incapacity and limitations! It was never about you Shamsa, your only guild was your beauty and the way you have probably incited little men to lie to themselves that they are not little because they can force their will. I know by now that you are a smart woman and my words might sound childish but I still feel I should enforce this small hope for love so I promise you that not all men are like that. I'm so sorry you had the worst of men. I hope you get to experience the love of a real man, a man that will not feel weak/challenged/incapacitated by your amazing beauty. A man that wouldn't hesitate to give his life to save yours. Maybe you feel like you never want to deal with men again but I believe there is one rule in this world that remains universal no matter the context: ballance. So try to remain ballanced, I think it might have saved your life already. Take your time but don't cast your judgement on all of men for there are some that might amaze and show you men can also be beautiful/strong and eventually loveable. I would so much love to hear good news from you! I'm sending you all my positive energy and thoughts! With love and respect, Vlad Loving husband and father

Listen to her, she's so smart, witty, strong, to speak on all this trauma. Imagine thinking someone like her, everyone who has her gender, has no worth other than a maid and sex doll.

I needed so much to hear this. Im 28 and was sexually abused as child and grew up in a horrible home full of fear and abuse. Now at 28 ive relapsed and my mental health is wreck once again I cant seem to be able to move on. Idk why its so hard for me, all I do is blame my mom for not protecting me from the abuse and hate my dad for it. Hearing her story makes question myself if she can move on so can I. Even though I dont know i hope i can so that my future wont be as much torture as the past 28 years have. Thank you so much for this

I hope by sharing your story that families will understand this is abuse in it’s worst form. I’m soo glad your mum lived long enough to help you escape, without her you would be dead I’m sure of it. I hope that you are recovering and getting the help you need. I’m soo sorry that this was your experience from vile men.

What happened to her is horrific. Im so glad she called her mom and got advice on how to get away.

This needs so much courage, sitting and speaking of such a private, traumatic episode of your life is beyond difficult.

Shamsa you are so brave! Thank you for sharing your story and to educate. Awareness on FMG is so important, we can't have enough spreading the word on this topic. A woman is a treasure not a property!❤😊

Poor thing. She must have extensive primary and secondary vulvodynia from this experience, as well as vaginismus and her bladder issues. My heart goes out to her ❤️ Thank you for speaking out. She is extremely strong and powerful. I can't believe she didn't cry when speaking about the rapes. I want to hug her so bad xx

So happy for her and her daughter being able to start a new life. I hope she is able to find a therapist that can help her continue to heal. She is such a strong woman.

It's hard to even contemplate how traumatic this must have been--I feel so incredibly sorry for her... must have felt betrayed by her own family

Stories like hers feel impossibly heartbreaking. Words cannot explain nor minds fathom what she has gone through. I had a mild form of fgm after giving birth-where I was stitched too tight to even attempt sex and required a revision surgery. Doctors denied fault or issue. My story is FARRR more mild than hers. But I experienced a tiny measure of that pain and shame. The ob field is sadly still filled with people who won’t help or listen. It’s terrible and not ok. My heart goes out to this woman. I am absolutely amazed that she lives today and has found some happiness. Wishing her some healing and peace after all the trauma and abuse.

This is extreme, but it made me think of my ex. When I told him that I was in pain during sex, he told me " I know, but I need to go deeper" ( he cared more about keeping his errection than me being in pain). Later on, when we had a fight and told him about it, his answer was " I had your consent for sex. You're like those women who consent and then call it rape". I consider myself an emancipated woman, but when I think that I was willing to give him a second chance ( and probably many more)... If a man treats you poorly, leave as soon as possible

This is not how a real man treats a woman. I’m glad he’s now an ex. I believe any man who treats a woman this way, is inadequate in some way, and tries to boost his sorry ego through dominant abuse. I’m a 55 year old man, I’ve had sex with (100’s) of woman, I’ve done porn, and never have I ever not considered the lady. Watching this video and reading comments like yours makes me ashamed to be the same gender as your ex
