"Fatal message"
German mosque offers marriage courses for 13-year-olds
The invitation from a mosque in Mannheim to the "Girls' Evening in the Mosque" series has caused outrage in Germany. The courses "in preparation for marriage" are aimed at "girls and women aged 13 and over".
The flyer, which is available to Bild, reads: "Girls' evening in the mosque. Seminar series for girls and women aged 13 and over to prepare for marriage".
There is also a quote from "Tabarani" on the flyer: "He who marries has completed half of his faith."
The courses are to be offered in the mosque of the Islamic Omar Al Faruq Center in the Neckarstadt-West district. Many people with a migration background live there.
"Strengthening self-confidence"
Criticism was not long in coming. The district chairman of the CDU youth organization Junge Union, Lennart Christ (26), sees "a fatal message". The organizers of the courses are placating: The aim of the courses is to "strengthen the self-confidence of the participants". Marriages of women under the age of 18 would not take place.
