Australian Muslim girls too young to get married in that country are being taken to Lebanon for arranged marriages
Washington Times:
The marriage age in Lebanon is 16, but some girls as young as 14 have reportedly been sent there.
Australian and Lebanese officials have been meeting for over a year after dozens of girls attempting to escape sought refuge at the Australian Embassy in Beirut.
In a practice Muslim leaders in Australia have condemned, girls are being married off to supposedly protect religious and family values in a world they view as becoming Westernized.
Australian officials are meeting with Muslim communities to discuss the issue and options.
