: In what has to be one of the most DISTURBING stories we've seen in years, MediaTakeOut.com learned that a Syrian family has arranged to have their 5 year old son get engaged to a 3 year old girl.

And they were so PROUD of this accomplishment, that they took photos of the event and got interviewed by a Muslin newspaper.

Here's how the story is being reported by the Associated Press:

The boy, who was identified only as Khalid, "fell in love" with Hala during a family trip to a seaside town, his father said.

"My wife and I got Khalid after 20 years of marriage, in a complicated pregnancy," the boy's dad Juma told the newspaper. "I vowed to have my child engaged at the age of five if he was a boy and to marry him to a woman of his choice at the age of 15."

'The bride seems very genuine.' Juma, whose surname was not published, said that his son had refused to return to his nursery if Hala didn't attend as well.

"Khalid told me and his mother that he would like to have stayed with Hala or bring her home to Homs. The young bride seems very genuine," Juma said. "We did not know what to do until my wife called Hala's mother and asked her opinion about the case.

"She said her daughter had developed similar symptoms of loneliness and the family would be happy to see them engaged."

Juma told the Gulf News that the children had exchanged rings.

"We know that Khalid or Hala might change their mind in the future, but what we do know at this stage is that they are very happy and talk to each other everyday," he added. "Khalid is waiting until he is 15 to marry Hala."

CRAZINESS!!!

disgusting. LET KIDS BE KIDS. STOP EXPLOITING, RAPING,MISTREATING, RUSHING THEM TO GROW UP. WTF. i just had this arguement with some1 on youtube for this. saying the *** how some people believe as a young girl hits puberty she's ready for marriage.fck outta here with that b.s. only child rapists would agree with that. first off religion is b.s but muslim beliefs are bogus and pro child rape. i always thought *** still feel women who engage in that so called religion are even more stupid than the men.following some man named mohammed that raped and married a 9yr old. him *** those like him need to be raped with a steel horse d.o.***.g. then have his thing thing stuck with needles, amongst other painful things. 1 of the most horrific sins is raping/hurting a child. for me this is worse than h.o.mo.sexuality and should be an abomination. i dont understand god or jesus or whomever the fck suppose to be holy and so called perfect my a.s.s. how he allows a child to get hurt.and btw way both of these kids in this pic are innocent.they do not know better

googlemebaby

GTFOH...


ghostnyc

I don't know whats worse...1st graders grinding crotches at a birtday party (c'mon MTO you post those clips on regular basis) or arranged marriages. In defense of this story 1. theyre not married yet, they are scheduled to be married in 10 years. 2. at least the girls family arranged her marriage to a similar aged young man, as oppose to the pervs that are dam 50 marrying 10-12 year olds (READ UP, Im speaking truth here)


SloleyHimself

LOL RELIGIONS ALL AROUND THE WORLD IS SO WIERD ... WHO SAYS THEY'RE WRONG FOR DOING THIS THO ? WHO SES CHRISTIANITY IS RITE !? I DUNNO & NEITHER DO YOU !

Two guys sneak into a farmer's fruit garden and start eating the fruit. The farmer sees them and comes out with a ***. "Since you guys like fruit so much go pick 100 of which ever fruit you want," said the farmer. The first guy decides to pick grapes. When he gets 100 he goes back to the farmer. The farmer says,"now shove em' all up your ***." The guy gets all 100 up his ***. He feels really bad, but then e starts to laugh. "Why you laughing?" asked the farmer. To which the man replied, "My friend is out picking some big azz watermelons!"


DeeLaLa

WTF!! I always knew there was something delusional about these muslims ever since 9/11


HotPassions

You people are so ignorant. You all condone fornication and the likes of kids dressing like hoes. When someone says they will marry their child when they get a to be a teenager, oh that's disgusting. Get real this world is corupt and content with destruction.


amazingasalways

This is disturbing....but...This is a diffrent culture. They do things diffrently. So how can you judge really. Maybe if it was in our culture, we could judge.


Delanda

sick. just f*cking sick. but at least it isnt a adult getting engaged to the lil girl/boy. but sick and sad all the same.


iiTunechi

Its Not Gonna Work Out..


imsickoftvnradio

So a 5 year old boy can commit to marriage but you have 30 year olds still talking about their not ready. SMH.

But on the real that is crazy to be thinking about that at 5.


Belkys10

funny


K0C0A19

People have been having arranged marriages since the beginning of time! I'm sure their divorce rate is alot lower than America's! www(dot)getreadyreserve(dot)com/chanmeri



Russo--Sweet

You can't call that disgraceful that is their countries rules. My grandfather is from Syria.


OVER_IT

AW HOW SWEET.HOW IS THIS DISGRACEFUL MTO AND THIS IS ONE OF THEIR CUSTOMS? FREE YOUR MIND MTO. YOU KNOW THE REST.

True_Beauty_Bklyn87

Wish that was our* culture..black men are allergic to commitment..guess they like being a snow bunny 's *** slave ((shrugs))


BigPapiBX

Is it surprising? Coming from a culture who's families marry off their 11 and 12 yr old daughters to 40yr old pedophiles who end up tearing the little girl's wombs up and treating them like objects instead of actual humans and then kill their little girls if god forbid they get raped or execute Fatwah's on their daughters if God forbid they date a boy who isn't promised to them.


Checktheweather

That is SO cute! Hey it's a cultural thing.

Checktheweather.net!


MSAYANA

I find this disturbing .. I have a 3 year old cousin and to imagine her getting engaged .. wow.


BigPapiBX

I will say this is not as disturbing as what I just posted. I'd rather two kids around the same age get married than when those dirty old *** take those little girls as child brides.

Although her getting married at 12 is too young. That culture is known to start breeding them once they start mensturating and many times it results in their deaths or serious complications with their reproductive systems.


Treasure8430

Its not disgraceful they arrange marriages ova there...but what is mind bogglin is that @ the age of 3 and 5 they wanna be engaged and married and they knw wat that means...I'm 26 and still dnt knw and can't find a dude 2 yrs older then me that wants to do wat lil Khalid wants 2 do...on the other hand they might not want each other when they get older and if I was there parents I would make them stay wit each other lol...naw I would find him some1 knew that he dnt knw 2 marry my son off to. Cause as u c here in the us mofos dnt knw how to pick their mates and the *** dnt work out


bezsenny

That's how Akon's parents were set up, right?

I-EAT-GLITTER

SMH.They're too young so its Plain ole weird. But hey! At least they stay together. Maybe we should arrange marriages in US. Less. Lmao


HotSauce

That's how they do. What's the big deal? They can't have *** yet anyway. It's just an arrangment.


CunningANDStunning

Ok so they're just engaged. They still have another 10 years before they actually tie the knot..lol I can't make no sense of this. These ppl are crazy yo. I use 2 work with an indian guy who was in an arranged marriage w/ his 2nd cousin or something like that!! CRAZY!


Iwontbebad

TALK ABOUT WEIRD CULTURE TRADITIONS.... RELIGIONS....


bklynkey718

This story is such ***...


uniqueSag

stnmtndude This has been going on for years, it's their culture. On their "MTO equivalent", their blogging about the fact that our women are wearing tight jeans, make up and going out without their hair covered.... and they are just as disgusted with our culture as we are with theirs. .........

Are you seriously equating preparing your 3 and 5 yr olds for marriage at the age of 12 and 15 to someone's attire? *scratches head & a$s* Are you serious?


shanqua

Nah They Wrong for that


ShortThicknRed

They probably think they're just good friends. Those kids dont know the 1st thing about marriage.


ShirtsVsBlouses

On the plus side, the family is marrying off their 2 year old to a 5 year old instead of a 45 year old. Either way it's not cool in my book.


Addvantz

Wow...how dare ya'll just judge anohter culture like that...those kids aren't being harmed in anyway. Are the kids happy??? yess , so why do you give a ***...they did it for the kids anyway, ya'll stupid


Capt_Legend

that's just petty


ItsKrysyBby

Um...that how they do it in their culture and they have to get married between the ages of 15-21 that's how its always been dummies


BigBabyK

WOW MTO, weren't you just talking about a 9 year old needing to go back to school?! And here you are unable to do simple arithmetic.. 3+10=13, not 12, so the "bride" in this wackass Story would be 13 in 10 years.... F*ckin idiots!!!!!!!!


NOLEMAN1

@ Nero How in the hell is this ***? You do realize that is a boy and a girl? Also that is their culture. You're a idiot !!!


IriAstarte

lmao and shes gonna be pregnant by 12. that whole thing is just crazy.



ILLtakeher4ugayz

zodiac_sign_libra

THEY COULD GROW UP TO BE BESTFRIEDS OR SOMETHING I DONT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH WHAT THEY DID I THINK SOME OF THESE PPL ON HERE LONELY WITH NO LIFE SMH ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY


Barry9x9

Evidence that Muhammad (SAW) was NOT a pedophile. Arranged marriages from childhood are common practice in the middle east.


ItsCriz

Supreme21

SHEEEEEE'S YOUR QUEEN TOOOOOOO BEEEEEE!!!! LMFAO


lbcer

WTF? Is that lil girl wearing make-up? This is some ***...


BornSweet

@Supreme21 u stooopid son!1 lmao had me dyin at work!

and this is how they do ppl! they arrange the marriage early so that the money stays in the families. plus the boy gets to sow his oats before settling down. No unwanted pregnancies = a good thing!


thinkpositive

This is stupid on so many levels. Yet another example of children trying to imitate adults and adults imposing their views and beliefs onto children.


TheMaxMediaShow

wildness


bloggeraddict

If lil fat *** babies can smoke like a grown *** man...then 3 year olds can get married....wat is diz world coming 2


midwestPYT

Wow!! This IS a joke rite???


blkqueen

LOL at bloggeraddict. That's so so true.


UmmAbdurRahman

IS everyone serious??!! Everybody on here was screwing by fifteen and had kids on the way. I know a lot of them. But back in the day when our grandparents was getting married around that age aint nobody say nothing. All of the old school marriages lasted fifty years and more, and of these dumb behind people getting divorced now a days. I would rather for my daughter to have a boy want to marry her than just "F" her. What is wrong with yall??



UmmAbdurRahman

Fifteen is too young to marry, but not too young to "F" and have babies and the boy run off. Make his behind responsible, before he end up child support anyway.


CourtzDiorParis

yoooooo WTF??


ThatOneDude

Whom am I to judge their culture. They seem to have their stuff more together then most Western cultures.

maxwas989

SweetNenita2010

Almost no divorce rate because the women have no say!!!


eurotrash

I don't give a *** if that's their culture or not! And ya know all your *** on here... well except the Muslims on MTO, know that this is just wrong.

What kind of religion is Islam with all the extreme stuff that they do? Grown man marring little kids, them arranging marriages, etc. I just don't get it. Sick ***!


Kellytaylor407

yeah, and when these kids grow up and don't want to be with other it's the female that can LEGALLY be murdered by her family for calling off the wedding, or walking away from the wedding. i swear that culture is *** up for real.


kjreallife

wats really disgraceful is that women sleep with 50+ men, contract mad diseases, experiment with women, trick off, ,strip, slit their wrist, sell *** then wonder why nobody want to marry them....God willing when they get married like their parents say when they are teenagers, the same age our grandparents got married they wont go thru the stresses sum of us go thru


bezsenny

.

*** @ The-Proverbial-Hater! You have lots of patience and determination; By then I'm sure you were after more than just her koochie, right...? I hear you though, Loud and Clear!

.


Miss-honey

SMH, what right do some of you have to criticize when your own communities are rampant with AIDS, unwed teen pregnancies, rape, murder etc etc.

These kids arent getting married today, their promised to each other when they are older and only IF they want to go on with it. Is it so disgraceful to install in your kids the value of marriage and family? MTO your the same site that promotes *** who are literally famous for giving up their pum pum to the highest bidder.

Would it be better if she turned 13 and was having her second kid, as is so the norm over here.


Miss-honey

And do a little reading for once before you start calling Muslims paedophiles! This has nothing to do with Islam or religion of any kind. Did you know in many parts of the world, Africa, Asia, the middle east and pretty much anywhere that isn't the west, this is an acceptable and common tradition in cultures everywhere.....

Ahhh forget it, just go back to looking at pictures of the latest glimpses of Rihanna's or beyonce's pu$$y LOL.


fudge85

WTF?????



Esteban

The prophet Mohammed was a pedophile who married a 9 year old girl when he was in his fifties. The Muslim religion is based on pedophilia and murder.


Vivianne_sex_69

Thats the youngest possible


justwant2say

That's the way those people roll MTO. I don't understand it but it's their way.

What we think is crazy is what they have been doing for centuries.

At least they didn't make a promise to shack up together in 10 years which is something us Americans find no problem doing.


NeeNeeBSF

millions2nette

Well you think this is bad? Most arranged marriages that I've heard of, the bride and groom meet and see each other for the first time on their wedding day.


millions2nette

Well, the little girl can enjoy this time while it lasts. She's wearing make up, her face, neck and arms are also fully exposed.

crazy to us normal to them



EBZ01

This is where my cultural relativism goes OUT THE WINDOW......... this is DISGUSTING.


anabanana18

First of all we arent looking at the fact that the parents stated that they do understand that they will change their minds whe older but that they are happy now. That is how their culture works. Just like in America we have females and men that sleep around and don't respect theyselves walkn round half naked and being single and/or teen parents AND don't know who the daddy is. Arranged marriages have been around forever, and the girls were married young. Seriously didn't anyone pay attention in history class ancient greece girls were married of as young as five years old. NOT engaged, MARRIED


anabanana18

in asia, same thing. in the early american days, same thing, native americans, same. In the slave days, same. pioneer days, same. It only appears disgusting to us because our culture is diferent. it doesnt make us better than them and it don't mean that they are primitive. Here in America its the asians and mideastern races that make most the money. My friend is indian and her dad works the same place my stepmom did for *** the amount of time, guess who makes more and has a big *** house. so primitive no. they also get devorced less. so think on that.
