Understanding Islam, debating if cultures can co-exist- daniel dury
Description
interview with a Muslim recently where we discussed the differences in cultural values, especially around the topic of child marriage.
In some parts of the Islamic world, child marriage is still considered acceptable, often justified by tradition or religious interpretation.
However, from a Western perspective, this practice is widely viewed as unhealthy and potentially abusive, particularly when it comes to the mental and emotional development of young girls.
We talked about how a truly healthy relationship should be based on mutual understanding, maturity, and consent—something that’s difficult to achieve when one party is still a child.
Eye-opening discussion on how deeply values can clash across cultures, especially on sensitive issues like this.
