Islam in Australia: Child bride burnt alive 6 months after arrival

She was only 14 years old when she married a man she had never met in an arranged Islamic ceremony in 2014. He was more than a decade older.

The media reports this without comment or commentary. As if there is something, anything normal of this horror. When the very same media is covering my colleagues and me, they smear, defame and liable because we oppose these Islamic traditions and speak candidly about the sharia and  jihadi doctrine.

The media also fails to inform the public of the mores of the millions of Muslim migrants entering their countries. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law. (Jihad Watch)

Ziba’s husband and his family have told police that she set herself alight but police also continue to probe whether someone else doused her in petrol and set her on fire.

This too is said without comment or shock or outrage. As if this child would burn herself alive. The husband could expect no penalty under the sharia. Let’s see what the Australian courts decide.

No feminist marches. No comment from feminist march leader and sharia enforcer Linda ‘car alarm’ Sarsour.

Afghan teen who burnt to death came here as child bride on fake papers

By Melissa Cunningham, SMH, July 24, 2018:

A young mother who died after being set alight in a still unexplained tragedy is believed to have entered Australia illegally as a child bride.

Police initially believed Hazara woman Sadif Karimi was 22 when she died in The Alfred hospital in February after being severely burnt in a backyard in Melbourne’s south-east. Her family said she was just 17.

Ziba died after suffering severe burns. Her death is being investigated by police.

And it can also be revealed that Sadif Karimi’s real name was Ziba Haji Zada.

Ziba’s husband and his family have told police that she set herself alight but police also continue to probe whether someone else doused her in petrol and set her on fire.

She was only 14 years old when she married a man she had never met in an arranged Islamic ceremony in Afghanistan in 2014. He was more than a decade older.

Her aunt, Parwana Khaliqi, said Ziba then illegally entered Australia with her new husband on a passport that had been made with fraudulent documentation.

She says Ziba’s name was changed to “Sadif Karimi” and her age was pushed up to 18.

Her aunt, Parwana Khaliqi, said Ziba then illegally entered Australia with her new husband on a passport that had been made with fraudulent documentation.

She says Ziba’s name was changed to “Sadif Karimi” and her age was pushed up to 18.

“She was too young so they faked her name and changed her date of birth and everything,” Parwana said through a translator from her home in Germany.

“By the time she came to Australia she’d been stripped completely of her identity. She was no longer Ziba.”

Child marriage is entrenched in the deeply conservative culture of Afghanistan.

For families like Ziba’s, arranged marriages are often a way out of crippling poverty.

In Afghanistan, almost 60 per cent of girls are married before they are 19, with most married at either 15 or 16.

The identification card was then used to make up a fraudulent passport which falsely stated that Ziba was 18.

Months later, Ziba left her home in the small impoverished village of Dawood to migrate to Australia on a partner-sponsored visa.She had just turned 15 when she got off the plane at Melbourne Airport. She moved into a small, brick-veneer house in Cranbourne with her new husband, his parents, his brother and his family.

At the age of 17, she gave birth to a baby girl. Six months later she was dead.

“The pain is there all the time,” Parwana said. “I cannot escape it or digest it. I feel like Ziba’s death happened just yesterday. We feel like we have been burnt with her.

“She burnt and she died, but we are living and we are still burning. It’s so hard for everybody, my whole family. We just want answers on what happened to her.”

The phone call from Ziba’s brother-in-law came in the middle of the night, rousing Parwana from her sleep.

“He said ‘Ziba burnt herself and she’s dead now’,” Parwana said. “I went into complete shock and had to be taken to hospital. I felt like I had lost everything.”
Each time Parwana looks at her own baby girl, the same age as Ziba’s child, she thinks of her niece.

Parwana and Ziba were close and would Skype almost every day.

Ziba was always kind, gentle and loving, her aunt said.

“Whoever she was with she always had this natural energy that could draw people to her,” Parwana said.
