It is good to see that she was able to get a divorce, although I'd have been happier to see he face some sort of penalty for what he did but we have to be happy with what she was able to get.

"Baby steps" as they say. Any progress, even tiny progress is still good.

Of course as we all know, all the man has to say is we're divorces 3 times and they are divorced.

They can hardly punish her rapist for doing what Mohammad did, although even he had the "decency" to wait until the girl was 9 to consummate the marriage.

Um.....does "consummated" mean the same thing to them as it means to us? She was in 2nd grade!
