(ANSAmed) - BEIRUT, SEPT 10- Syrian girls, even under 15,
sold as "wives" for a few hundred euro from desperate parents
to men from different Arab countries. This, according to reports
by some media of the Gulf countries, is among the terrible
consequences of violence in Syria, which have driven many
thousands to seek refuge in neighboring countries, ending up in
refugee camps. It "became common",
explains journalist Hassan from the columns of the daily paper
The National, to see on some Arabs online forums requests from
men such as "Syrian girls wanted, purpose marriage." But
this would just be a ploy to "buy" minors with the sole purpose
of sexual enjoyment, he adds. Bid prices, according to the press
sources, range on average from 500 to 1,000 Saudi riyals, i.e.
from 105 to 210 euro. The girls are found among refugees in Jordan and end up in prevalence in Saudi Arabia. But similar cases were reported in Iraq and Turkey. (ANSAmed).
