According to the UN, this is all because of ‘climate change’.
Nothing to do with Islam. Nothing to do with the pedophile ‘prophet’ of Islam who ‘married’ a six year old and consummated the marriage when she was nine.
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has reported a 123% increase in reported forced and child marriages in Gaza between January and June 2026, while an Associated Press investigation uncovered girls as young as 13 being married to adult men.
According to Gaza’s Supreme Shariah Court, 20.6% of the 35,474 marriages registered in 2024 and 2025 involved girls under 18, including 627 marriages involving girls younger than 15. Before the war, the proportion was 17.8% in 2022.
The AP interviewed six girls married between the ages of 13 and 16. Two described repeated rape and physical abuse, four experienced dangerous pregnancies, and three suffered miscarriages.
One Palestinian mother married off her daughters, aged 13 and 14, to two brothers in their 20s after losing her husband and eldest son. Both daughters subsequently reported sexual and physical abuse.
Separate UN investigations documented cases where girls were being married to their rapists and a father marrying off his 14-year-old daughter in exchange for two bags of flour.
Investigators warn that the actual number of child marriages could be substantially higher because many marriages are never officially registered.
