    Ampatuan :rolleyes: I wonder if he is part of the clan who perpetrated the maguindanao massacre :confused: as for the "marriage" Well, that's Islam.

    This actually reminds me of those NGO charities that ask you to give £3 a month to end child marriage in some fly blown 3'rd world backwater, the cash is swallowed up in admin and staff salaries, and they don't have a clue about deep rooted cultural practices :rolleyes:

    I wouldn't be too surprised if he is.. They are in one way or the other, all related to each other in that neck of the woods.

    It's around an hours travel between the massacre site and the new grooms home, I figure he is related to the clan somehow.

    The advert I spoke of has JUST been on TV, Alexa must have some input, but in all seriousness some 3'rd world girls are commodities for their families when they reach puberty, its how it is :oops:
