This time it's all too real. The victims are Yazidi women who've been kidnapped and sold into 'marriage'.
Is there any Surah which condemns, or condones, such actions?

I'm sure if there isn't a condition in Surah about this something will be found and twisted to suit the circumstances, like most of the Koran in those nutters' hands.
There is probably something that can somehow be explained to justify it. Unfortunately, I don't have the knowledge.
the first one wasn't a myth. I've seen the photos.

No Qur'anic scholars, believers or otherwise, in tonight?
The Holy Bible tells of those who were sold into slavery (and presumably forced marriage), so it may not be restricted to the Koran.

I'd forgotten the Nigerian schoolgirls. If it's happening in West Africa and nearly half a world away in Iraq it can't be seen as Haram.

Thank you, Naomi, for your brief exegesis.

agchristie, I'm not sure I'd want to take anything written by someone with the surname, Shapiro, as gospel when it comes to matters Islamic.
sandyRoe - perhaps not, I just saw the Surah referred to, more of a confirmation really.
sandyRoe, I answered your question. Were you expecting more?

NO. 'Brief' wasn't a criticism.
OK.
Islam forbids forced marriage in any circumstances.
/Islam forbids forced marriage in any circumstances./

That would explain why it never happens in islamic states..
^True. It asks nine year old girls if they agree, they look at their fathers for guidance, their fathers nod, and the children do as they're told. They agree. No force there.
^That was to Keyplus.
Over to you, Khandro.
