    AMMAN, JORDAN—Nezar’s face is tight with expectation as she arrives for the meeting. She is a heavy-set mother of 12 and as she arranges herself on the small sofa in Um Majed’s living room she removes her black veil and the pious black gloves that allow her to shake hands with men who are not her relatives.
    Um Majed sets down small cups of hot Turkish coffee to ease the tension. Nezar is a Syrian refugee and looking for a husband for her daughter. She lists the girl’s qualities.
    “She is tall and pretty,” she tells Um Majed. “She finished the seventh grade.”
    “There is one available. He is Saudi,” Um Majed answers.

    This is what Nezar wants to hear. Saudis, flush with petrodollars, will pay well. She has high hopes for this Saudi.
    So does Um Majed who will earn a $287 fee if the two sides agree to the match.
    Um Majed, 28, is also a Syrian refugee, a former housewife from Homs. Um Majed isn’t her actual name but a respectable Arab moniker meaning ‘mother of Majed,’ her young son. She doesn’t want her full name published because of her shame about what she does for a living: procuring brides, some as young as 12, for men as old as 70 from all over the Middle East in exchange for money

    Nezar too was a homemaker in Homs who arrived in Jordan last year. Her husband was a taxi driver but he can no longer work because he has a heart condition. Her son is badly injured.
    “He was a fighter with the resistance army and they were removing a roadblock the regime set up on the street when he was hit by a missile,” she explains. “Four others died. He has had three surgeries and needs another one.”

    My daughter is willing to sacrifice herself for her family,” Nezar says. “If the war had not happened I would not marry my daughter to a Saudi. But the Syrians here are poor and have no money.”
    Nezar’s daughter is 17. The Saudi groom is 70    .

    This makes me very sad about the situation there and the condition people are in and angry that she is willing to destroy her girl's life like that just for money. Being poor is no excuse to start selling off your teenage daughters as brides for income, especially to men who would be eligible for senior citizen discount.  That is just disgusting

    Sexual Slavery.


    At least prositutes can quit if they really want to.


    With these girls they are essentially the property of their husbands.
    In my opinion a life without curiosity is not a life worth living

    Yep, it's actually sexual slavery and human trafficking.

    How sad.

    To think the lives of tens of thousands of women girls are going to vanish into oblivion thanks to selfish parents and Islam. And Islam is almost fully responsible for all this despite what any Muslim would like to claim.

    Muslims aren't the only ones selling their daughters to rich Arabs.

    Just thought that ought to be mentioned.

    I'll blame it on oil, rather than Islam. No oil in the gulf, no daughters sold to an old fart.
