Moroccan teenager forced to marry for rapist, commits suicide. Amina Filali killed herself last Wednesday in order to escape the marriage. The forcing for the rapist to marry Amina is set in law from the Bible itself. In this passage, depending on the translation used, says that the man must marry the woman and he may never divorce her.

In my opinion I think that this law in Morocco is very stupid. It is seriously a common sense issue, people it seems are just really dumb in that part of the world. No government in their right mind should follow this law, this could be compared to having a pedifil marry a child that he/she was found having relationships with. So bad idea that would be terrible. To quote one of my favorite youtube commetors Philp DeFranco "Some parts of the world still scary, some of the parts still stupid, and we just watch the back-asswordness from Disney Land." By the way sorry for the language but still a good quote. That video below has the story in it as well as some others. Careful there is some stronger language in it, not for young children!
