Cleric who ‘married’ 12-year-old believed he had done nothing wrong
Of course not. Muhammad married Aisha when she was six and consummated the marriage when she was nine. He was the perfect man, uswa hasana, al insane al kamil. That doesn’t mean he was mad like a camel; it means his example should be emulated, till the end of time. That’s exactly what this cleric did: he followed the example of his profit. He was fined $500 and is in immigration detention awaiting deportation to Pakistan upon the cancellation of his Religious Leaders visa.

A Muslim cleric living in Australia on a religious visa believed he didn’t do anything wrong by “marrying” a 12-year-old girl to a 26-year-old man because the union was never officially registered. Muhammad Riaz Tasawar, 35, of Mayfield, appeared before Parramatta Local Court on March 19 where Magistrate Peter Miszalski accepted the plea to the offence of solemnisation of a marriage by an unauthorised person.
