These phenomena are remnaints of old customs, and those old customs are remnaints of pure economics. We know that in the most of societies, both western and eastern, there existed (or exists) a tradition that a girl must stay a virgin untill her marriage. If girl spoils her virginity, she cannot find a husband and she becames a burden for her family (similar to a case of widows and suttee in India). Be it killing, a monastery, excomunication or ANY KIND of condemnation, it is the same. We don't have right to kill ANYBODY, be it our meat and flash or not, for each human creature is somebody's meat and flesh. But I find western "sophisticated" ways equally brutal. The girls which are castaway by their families often end in prostitution or drug-dealing as their only way to survive. It's maybe worse than killing, for it's double moral. And one more difference: countries like Turkia talk about such events in public for they want to show their dissaproval. Western countries are enough wise not to mention such events, for they want to keep unimpaired image of their perfect and human societies. And we don't think about one aspect: too much sexual freedom means pushing our children into a world of immorality and diseases like AIDS. We live differently than our grandmas and grandpas, but it means we should make compromises, not to live in hypocrisia.

i certainly wouldnt condone this act and if someone tried to do this to my daughter i wuld kill them with my bare hands..and her consent is irrelevant,at such an age she shouldnt be sexually active and if she is then people should be questioning why she was in a position to consent to sex in the first place..why is it that young people want to throw their virginity away anyway?:-S something is going wrong with societies everywhere when people are having sex so young..makes u wonder about their parents...
