What of the girls

One wonders why the price for the minor girls is so high? four hundred and fifty dollars? In countries where the income is less than two dollars a day, surely a rich man, Arab or Eskimo, could buy one for 10 bucks.
It is the virginity that those bridgrooms are buying. The power to reduce a girl from a worthy status (within her society) to a worthless chattel to be disposed of. The power to destroy a human life with one painful screaming stroke. Those girls are raised in a society where sexuality is a horrid unknown sin, where the nether regions are a blasphemy grafted onto their bodies by a malevolent Allah. Being violated. once and for all, they become lower than asses, branded for life, that is if they are suffered to live.
In fact this is the main attraction of Islam for the believers. The total dominion over women. I have written a largish essay upon this subject, colored by my own experience and observations, if the Danielpipes forum is interested.
