Child brides being brought to Europe by their often considerably older migrant husbands are to be separated in Denmark, but one high profile Imam is urging the government to accept “that it is a different culture”.

A number of recent cases where marriages of adult men to girls as young as 14 years of age, sanctioned by the Danish state, has become a national scandal. Now, right-wing immigration minister Inger Støjberg has vowed the children will be protected in future, with couples where one of the parties is under 18 being separated whether they have already arrived in Denmark or not — although the age of consent in the country is just 15.

“It is completely unacceptable that there are currently minors within the Danish asylum system living with their spouses or partners and I have asked the Danish Immigration Service to immediately put a stop to it”, said Støjberg this week. In at least one case an adult husband was allowed to see his pregnant young wife under supervision, and in another the authorities were misled over the age of the wife and she was allowed to live with her husband in migrant accommodation unchecked.

It is reported eight married children in Danish asylum centres are already pregnant, or have given birth. The government is now planning to deport migrant men who marry and impregnate children, while giving the girls refuge.

Despite the strong Danish reaction to the practice of marrying children among some migrants, Imam Oussama El-Saadi of the Aarhus mosque has said the Danish government must relax their laws and respect migrant families, whatever age the brides are.

Speaking to Danish newspaper Metroxpress, the Imam said: “One should look at these cases from a different perspective. It is an extraordinary humanitarian situation, and I think you have to take care of these families. They’re married, and even if the man is twice as old as they have built a family. We have to accept that it is a different culture, and we can not destroy family life”.

The marriage of young children to older men went even further than just foreign and unfamiliar cultures arriving in Europe, said the Imam, but it was also a side-effect of the migrant crisis, he said: “If you look at the situation in the refugee camps, it is often filled with violence and uncertainty.

“If your daughter marries early and gets a man, it can give the family a safer situation”.

The Imam was of the opinion that girls married off early during the migrant crisis would be more sheltered and protected than those who were not, but added he wouldn’t allow his own daughter to marry until she turned 18.

While the youngest married girl seeking asylum in Denmark so far has been 14, other northern European states have seen similar problems, and worse. Norway saw dozens of migrant children arriving married in 2015, with one girl just eleven years old. Most of the married children came from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, as reported by Breitbart London at the time.

Comment by DTOM on February 16, 2016 at 5:13pm: Britain has also been under the control of certain parties since the tyrant Oliver Cromwell brought them back in...since then they have been fermenting war and misery throughout Europe and the world, using Britain and other nations as proxies.

The (now interwoven by marriage) Anglo-Zionist control system has no care or concerns for any others, bar themselves and their agenda.

Britain's elite do not represent the ordinary English, Scots, Northern Irish or Welsh people, but yes, for generations the collective peoples under the British Empire were told they were part of something great and they bought into it - the elite's agenda changed after WW2, the British Empire fell and the U.S rose to ascendancy, now it's time for 'CHANGE' again - well Barry promised it to you - and time for the Elite to throw out the old and bring in the new.

In the words of George Carlin:

Comment by Ragnarok on February 16, 2016 at 4:51pm: I've read numbers that as much as 40% in reality was sympathisers before the the bombings and no wonder really people dying at age 25 of coal fumes. Britain has always used it's unique card to seperate people from uniting like the danes, germans, french, turks and so on (every country feels unique its a part of their gov pr doctrins to secure eternal bowing tax payers who doesnt ask questions) if Britain isn't a part of Europe which is it then? :-)

Comment by DTOM on February 16, 2016 at 4:30pm: Most of the Freiwilligen units were quite large, the Britisches Freikorps numbered 27 men at most and wasn't really comparable to Nordland, Wiking etc as it was more of a propaganda opportunity. The latter units were real fighting forces.

Exactly, suffering and misery, to create more suffering and misery...plus debt, stupidity etc

Sick of it...

Comment by Ragnarok on February 16, 2016 at 4:17pm: Everyone did terrible things....but the terrible part is it was again all to boost economies and industries and to create the dumb you live in today....

Comment by DTOM on February 16, 2016 at 4:06pm: The more I learn about the Bolsheviks and their activities in Europe (i.e the stuff we were NOT taught at pre-university level) the more I understand why so many in occupied nations signed up with the volunteer units in the Waffen-SS during WW2.

(For the record, I hate National Socialists as much as I truly despise other Marxists)

The more truths I learn about WW1 and WW2, it has become blatantly apparent how the PTB play, cull and control the population through the same 'apply, rinse and repeat' process of economic collapse, war, rebuilding and social engineering.

It's also interesting to note that the PTB have always done this as the serfs get clued up about the standard operating procedure of the Elite. Unfortunately for them, the internet seems to have backfired on them this time, the dissemination of information hasn't worked entirely in their favor.

Comment by Ragnarok on February 16, 2016 at 3:49pm: Well you're are right and then again the story here alone during that time is so dark and messy and covered up that i dont really know where to begin.

Again the Danish government claimed neutrality which is the same as an invite and many signed up for the eastern front under SS personally i dont think it was to be evil or anything i think many were driven by the atrocities committed by the Bolsheviks to the nations they occupied in agreement with France, Britain, Germany and Russia other to try to resolve a new big war some may invade others.....sorry i cannot remember the pact/treaty (none were ever held anyways and truly a pure imagine of western thinking at the time) and how bad our country was governed. But things were just so freaking unfair and messed up even back then.

The book burnings never really ended when it started in Berlin it just spead like a wildfire across the globe.

Comment by DTOM on February 13, 2016 at 4:41pm: Dan, I first visited Denmark in 1986 as a kid with my family, and (like every country with its faults) it is a unique and beautiful place, and it pisses me off that your wonderful culture and heritage is being ground into the soil in the name of 'progress'.

I had hoped to be able to visit again with my niece (yes there is much more to see than plastic building block them parks) particularly at midsummer, but I doubt it will happen with things as they are.

One thing I have learnt from my studies and direct investigation, is that ALL of the REAL resistance movements in WW2 were undertaken by less than 1% of the population in their respective countries.

Of course at the end of the war, EVERYONE claimed to be in the resistance.

I have NO doubt that patriotic Danes will fight back - and like before they will be the ones that no one considers or suspects.

If the Danes could build weapons under the noses of the Nazi occupation, the 21st C resistance will do much more, both in the physical, cyber and spiritual battlegrounds.

This time it's for the very survival of the people.

Comment by Ragnarok on February 13, 2016 at 12:10pm: It will never happen here this place will fall too in a matter of time. The battle for liberation starts elsewhere they managed to mess it all up big time. Everything has been manipulated historically and culturally for too long and we screwed up several generations in the process so now we all have to pay the price all because of crooked leadership and greed. It's going to be hell with all this new technology...

Comment by DTOM on February 12, 2016 at 12:32pm: Oh he makes it sound so 'Hygge'

So it should work both ways right?

Visions of child brides cooking rød pølse (Danish pork sausages) as Muslims and native Danes enjoy a beer on the coast while watching the midsummer bonfires burn into the sky on Sankt Hans.

...er no, not going to happen.

Here are some elements of Danske Kultur I would like to see re-emerge...
