Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”
I have written about jihad. I have written about Sharia. I have written about terror, doctrine, lies, and political infiltration. But nothing, absolutely nothing, hits harder for me than this: the Islamic Republic of Iran has launched a state-blessed matchmaking platform that advertises thirteen-year-old girls for marriage.
According to the Islamic Republic’s own figures, 36,000 Iranian girls aged 10 to 14 were officially married from March 2021 to March 2022. That is just the paperwork. Iran’s own former Deputy Human Rights Minister admitted the real number is two to three times higher because many “marriages” are never registered.
And that’s before we even speak of the girls who became mothers. In 2021 alone, 1,349 girls under 15 gave birth. Babies having babies.
This isn’t “culture or tradition.” It is Islam as written, not Islam “misinterpreted.” Qur’an 4:3 laid the blueprint centuries ago: girls under guardianship are part of the marriage pool as soon as a man offers a fair price for her. In this worldview, a girl is an asset moving from one male authority to the next, father to husband, with no concept of childhood in between.
The Islamic Republic didn’t invent this.
The platform is called Adam & Hawa (Adam & Eve). It is not a rogue website. It is not some underground network. It is:
- registered legally
- promoted on state television
- aligned with the Supreme Leader’s “Family Policies.”
- owned by a company tied to a powerful IRGC-affiliated charity
- run by the son of a former IRGC intelligence commander
This is a state-run pipeline for selling little girls into marriage under the protection of Sharia.
The platform asks men what kind of girl they want.
It asks girls to list:
- political views
- belief in the Supreme Leader
- religious devotion
- details about their eyes, hair, and skin
- expectations for dowry (Marriage money)
- willingness to obey traditional roles
Because even at 13, a girl must prove she is obedient enough to become a man’s property.
One advertisement, shown in the screenshots, lists a 13-year-old girl from Mazandaran, with her height, weight, education level (“diploma and below”), and a full description of what she offers.
Everything except her price tag.
The Law Behind the Horror
The entire system sits on one foundational pillar: under the Islamic Republic’s reliance on Sharia, the age of religious and legal maturity for girls is 9 lunar years. That is the moment she is considered an “adult woman” in Islamic jurisprudence, capable of marriage, sexual relations, bearing legal responsibility, and subject to religious obligations.
“The age of criminal responsibility is 15 lunar years for boys and 9 lunar years for girls.”
— Islamic Penal Code of Iran, Article 147
And the follow-up clause:
“Bulugh is considered at 15 lunar years for boys and 9 lunar years for girls.”
— Civil Code of Iran, Article 1210(2)
So when the Islamic Republic registers marriages at 13, it doesn’t see a problem, because by its legal theology, the girl has already been an “adult” for four years.
Iran’s own chart from March 2021 to March 2022:
In cities:
- 16,510 girls aged 10–14 were already married.
- 142 became widows.
- 349 were divorced.
In rural areas:
- 20,000 girls aged 10–14 had husbands.
- 84 became widows.
- 250 were divorced.
And these are just the ones they admit.
The Men Behind the App
The platform is operated by Jafar Hosseini-Yekta, the son of Haj Hossein Yekta, a former IRGC intelligence commander and a key figure in the regime’s inner ideological network. Hossein Yekta now oversees the Imam Reza International Charitable Society, a so-called “charity” that functions as an extension of the regime’s social-engineering machinery. Adam & Hawa is one of its projects.
This “family network” is a system that pushes girls into marriage as early as possible, because early marriage produces more households shaped by Islamic doctrine. A system built on Sharia as its guidance, a legal mechanism that turns girls into commodities, and defines obedience as virtue. A system that manufactures loyal families for the regime, expanding the population it relies on to survive. A system that protects the clerical establishment by ensuring the next generation is raised inside the same ideological cage that held the last.
And all of it is packaged under the sanitized label of “Islamic family values,” as if branding a crime with religion turns it into virtue.
I know what this system does to a girl’s soul. My childhood wasn’t something I grew out of; it was taken from me. The person who should have protected me instead traded away my innocence, my safety, and every part of me that was still discovering what life was supposed to feel like. I remember the confusion of trying to understand my place in a world where my own body felt like it belonged to others more than to me. I remember the emptiness left by the people who should have cared. My life wasn’t shortened by death; it was shortened by betrayal, by the decisions of adults who chose obedience to ideology over the well-being of a child.
I learned far too early that in this system, a girl’s confusion, fear, questions, and hopes do not matter. What matters is her compliance. What matters is the role she is assigned.
This is the machine these men are digitizing. The girls showcased on this app aren’t being “matched.” They are being groomed and processed into a structure designed to shape their lives before they even understand what a life is. The regime takes their education, their opportunities, their identities, their freedom, and calls it virtue. It takes their childhood and calls it faith. It takes their humanity and calls it culture.
And no regime official, no cleric, and no apologist in the West gets to justify any of this. A system that treats girls as assets to be transferred is state-backed child exploitation, legalized through doctrine and enforced through bureaucracy.
This government is advertising children for purchase while demanding legitimacy on the global stage. So, next time you defend your administration’s 3D chess diplomacy, remember what you are part of.
I survived this system, but many don’t.
I was saved by His glory to make it my mission to expose this evil cult of Islam and to help more of His children.
And I will…
With facts, evidence, names, and every tool I have. And I ask you to help me as you always have, because no thirteen-year-old girl deserves to lose her childhood so a dictatorship can protect its ideology.
And because silence is complicity, and I refuse to be complicit.
The more I learn about Islam the more nauseating it becomes.
The Muslims have to be evil, knowingly, consciously evil.
The evil of an adult man marrying and having sex with a child is self-evident. It needs no ethical explanation.
Even though such evil is not altruistic?
Altruism is the moral doctrine that claims that no man or woman is an end in himself or herself. That claims that an individual’s highest virtue and duty is to sacrifice himself or herself to others.
Under such a moral doctrine you will have those who are sacrificed and those collecting the sacrifices.
In the case of child marriage and rape the child is being sacrificed to the adult.
“What is the moral code of altruism? The basic principle of altruism is that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that service to others is the only justification of his existence, and that self-sacrifice is his highest moral duty, virtue and value….
It stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there’s someone collecting sacrificial offerings. Where there’s service, there’s someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice, speaks of slaves and masters. And intends to be the master.” – Ayn Rand
“The fallacy of altruism, or altruistic moralism (or moralistic altruism), is the sense that there is a general duty, or that morality as such requires us always, to act in the interest of others. On the other hand, an “altruistic moral aestheticism” [or, simply, “altruistic aestheticism”] is not a moral fallacy; for this only means that a person may act for the good of others if this seems good, which is unobjectionable as long as the action respects the autonomy of others, i.e. is not against their innocent and competent will. The asymmetry between egoistic and altruistic moral aestheticism, that one is a fallacy and the other isn’t, is due to the circumstance that morality limits the pursuit of self-interest and posits respect for others. The removal of moral constraint in aestheticism thus would be motivated for the self, which can then gain through wrong, but would not be motivated for others, who were protected from wrongful loss.”

I remember clipping a newspaper article of a 12-year old girl given over to an Afghan warlord to pay a debt.
That was back in 2004.
(I knew of the practice of islam and underage girls before then. I was just surprised the news media bothered to report on it.)
I assume the Islamic basis for this act was not mentioned in the article you read.
You all will find this hard to believe, but…
In the mid 1990s, NPR had a five minute segment about an airline stewardess who saw that a small girl who had been put on the plane she was working was crying. She asked the child what was wrong. The child was to be picked up by the family of the man to which she had been sold for marriage.
The stewardess saved the child. It created an “incident” between the Muslims and the Hindus.
Not only an adult man, but a 40 year old plus pedophile adult man.
This is why the Woke Right wants to endlessly talk about Epstein. They are providing a diversion, essentially a shield for depravity like that described in this excellent and chilling article.
Epstein is dead. Maxwell went to prison. I guess we could spend the rest of the century trying to round up a handful of Epstein’s associates in endless show trials and making award winning documentaries about Jimmy Savile and the former prince Andrew. Meanwhile, vast numbers of underage girls in Western Europe have been gang raped by so-called grooming gangs. Canada is on the verge of it and America is right behind. And that is to say nothing of what is going on where Sharia is already the law of the land. And that is to say nothing of yet further genocidal atrocities in non-Western regions. So by the time we have finally polished off the Epstein scandal, when his last victim is a centenarian, there will have been around a few hundred million other kids raped and Sharia will be the law across two or three more continents.
We may not know much about Thomas Crooks, but we do know that he was 15 years old when Epstein died. So unless he was a victim of Epstein, I fail to see any possible connection between Crooks and Epstein, other than the vague connection via general corruption in various branches of law enforcement.
It is not Woke to demand a clean up of federal law enforcement. But gratuitously crowding the Sharia driven mass rapes out of the headlines in favor of yet another story about Epstein is part and parcel of being Woke Right. The English and their so-called constabulary have been particularly wicked about covering up and enabling grooming gang activity. If people think corruption in law enforcement is bad now, they should take a look across the pond. That is what the U.S. will be dealing with in a few short years if people waste any time and energy with bad priorities.
No Woke-Right? Yeah right.
Not just a diversion, but they want us to feel that we have no business questioning Islamic norms, because (or so we are supposed to think) our own society is just as bad.
It’s how the victim mentality left justifies all of their pedophilia. Yes, it’s on both sides but we don’t welcome it with open arms and pass laws to enable it.
Islam must be abolished.
Dear Ms Cyrus: Hearing your personal story really brought home a vivid reality. I have a question, did you hear this from other women as well or is it never spoken or maybe just your experience?
Simply the next taboo to fall in America. I can see the Left embracing this as a part of the red / green alliance that’s emerging. Folks on the left will do it because they want the girls. And Islam will work with the left – useful idiots – to bring down America. The “Big Satan” and the “Little Satan” must go. The green is in it for world domination and the left wants a world with no restraints on their passions, lusts and desires.
Bingo, you nailed it!!!
Disgusting, for sure. But who’s surprised at this from a culture with a 10th-century mindset. These people are barbarians, and they will never be even close to being compatible with Western culture.
This is what they think & write about their Prophet Muhammad. In order to emulate him they read the
Quran & Hadiths. So what Mohammad did, they will do to show their allegiance to him & Allah.
” Prophet Muhammad: The Perfect Example for Humanity
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is regarded as the epitome of excellence and the perfect role model for all of humanity. He was chosen by Allah to deliver His final message to mankind and to exemplify the noble characteristics and values that every individual should aspire to embody. Throughout his life, Prophet Muhammad demonstrated remarkable qualities of compassion, patience, justice, humility, and wisdom. He treated all people with kindness and respect, regardless of their background or social status. His actions and teachings serve as a timeless guide for Muslims to navigate their lives and seek the pleasure of Allah. Prophet Muhammad’s teachings emphasize the importance of establishing a just society, upholding the rights of others, and fostering unity among believers. He prioritized the well-being of others over his own and showed utmost mercy and forgiveness even to his enemies. As Muslims, we strive to emulate the noble character of Prophet Muhammad in our daily lives. We look to his exemplary behavior as a guide for our actions, interactions, and decision-making. By following in his footsteps, we seek to attain spiritual elevation and draw closer to Allah.
If only people truly understood how devastating this is for a little girl. These are monsters who will do unimaginable things to her that others do not want to know and she will silently scream tears of suffering that others paying any attention cannot miss, yet, the world does.
We know that the UN traffics children into sexual slavery. That the drug cartels obliterate their souls as a reusable commodity while their paying customers do to them the most sadistic, malicious, torturous and hideous acts in service to their depravity.
These are beautiful, innocent children and they are defenseless against this sexual tyranny disguised as “marriage”.
They will reside in the deepest corridors of their souls; most will retreat from life by abandoning themselves, becoming a young, withered husk in a tormented body. Their right to a childhood, to play, to grow, to learn and to become young women delighted in discovering their talents and abilities erased under the savagery of those who call themselves men but who are despicable parasites seeking life from their delicate beauty only to further the propagation of another generation of evil.
Any woman who has lived through similar violations understands and once it happens you are permanently altered and your life often becomes your excruciating fight for the survival of your soul as your body is continually brutalized and those around you look away.
You feel into your bones the terrifying aloneness of being unseen, of having no value, and of knowing that you can only survive by accommodating the perpetrator while your belly burns with the rage of this injustice and you hope and plan for your escape.
Those who survive and escape this malevolent curse thrust upon them become the ones who emerge as the strong, passionate women who seek the truth and tell it facing life’s vicissitudes with a courage few will ever understand.
If only our world truly loved these little girls, we would blow to smithereens every outpost allowing this until every little girl was freed from rhis enslavement and those attempting to continue using them obliterated across the world!
During B. Hussein’s 2nd term, many islamists were dumped in a small town in Idaho.
Rapes (previously unknown) erupted accordingly.
Naturally the rural citizens voiced concerns, and B. Hussein’s A.G., Loretta Lynch threatened the residents with “hate crimes” if they didn’t shut up about it.
They were bewildered and angered by the new order of things.
B. Hussein wasn’t, as it was simply dismissed as the price of admission. (Diversity is our strength!)
Needless to say the DNC media moved on, and flushed the entire affair down the memory hole.
Anybody else disturbed by the downvote on Gabrielle’s comment?
I hope that it is just that someone misread it, and thought that she was condemning marriage per se, rather than a hollow sham that claims the name in order to mask abuse. We should perhaps stop using the word “marriage” to describe Islamic unions. Etymologically, it has a common root with Anglo Saxon “marrow”, a companion or partner.
The website sounds a definite target for Predatory Sparrow, or maybe a technically gifted Israeli could turn his or her attention to hacking it.
13-year olds?
That’s a bit long-in-the-tooth for Islam, isn’t it?
I think these people need to consult with their “perfect man” Muhammed. I mean, he got things started with a girl half that age.
They only last until thirteen because they have been protected instead of being captured.
Ayana,
May the Lord continue to bless you and the ones around you. Even in this area of free speech, there is someone who would love to shut us up.
How did a very young girl of only 15 as was Anni Cyrus – the recipient
of several lashings – ever find the courage and fortitude it took to leave
her situation as a child bride in Iran and escape to Turkey? But escape
this little female did, winding up in Chicago three years later to face a
strange new world and language and customs. This girl went on to
embrace Christianity and to master English enough to superbly write
and speak in it to Americans about what had happened to her as a
Muslim in Iran. Today, there is a fatwa on Anni’s head and she lives
under credible death threats and tight security. To pay to keep going,
she sells her beautiful artwork online.
None of that is conceivable (except the imposition of terror part) to the
Muslim male dunces in the pictures in this article – who perceive young
girls as only genitalia objects with stunted minds – like livestock – to be
sold to the highest bidder on TV. That is because what they believe is a
lie – just like Islam itself, an ideology of terrifying domination over all non-
Muslims, is a lie before God who – through his son Jesus – is all about
men and women learning how to love others and build a civilized society.
I may not always agree with Anni but that happens with members of my
own family sometime. We’ve had occasional arguments over the years but
always communicate and deeply love each other. So Happy Thanksgiving
Aynaz Anni Cyrus. May God be with you and protect you always.
“We all say we have to identify the threat. We’ll I think the one who
identified it the best was Erdogan from Turkey when he said; “Islam is Islam, there are no modifiers, democracy is the train we ride to our ultimate objective.” He couldn’t have said it any planer and until you recognize Islam is a political movement masquerading as a religion your never going to come to grips with it. ” …

Yes, the problem with democracy is that it is vulnerable to demographic jihad.
What are the age requirements in Michigan for marriage? How many little girls are “married” there ? Will the state AG enforce the law in Dearborn? Outrage? Not really. When all is said and done, there is a lot more said than done.
The savages have taken England, we are on the list.
once america has been flooded with barbarians and its well on its way , no go zones are already in place , as is FGM ruled by a u.s. court as cultural therefore the court could not prosecute the morons who inflict the barbarism on their daughters . america is well on its way to hell in a hand basket . its only a matter of time before the evil that is islam holds sway over the u.s.
I never see any essays like this on any of the Women’s Studies bulletin boards at local colleges. (There’s a ton of stuff about “reproductive health care.” Nothing about whether the aborted babies’ health is better or worse after that “health care.”)
Aisha was six when Mohammed married her. Demonstrating self-control by not having sex with her until she was nine wasn’t so impressive. He had other wives to bop. My daughter was assigned the book “The Bookseller of Kabul” in her first semester of college. I read it. I cannot imagine what it must feel like to be a wife who suddenly become second (or third or fourth) fiddle to a much younger bride. Exposure to other cultures teaches us some cultures are inferior.
Meanwhile all we hear from Western Feminist is crickets. These are very loud crickets!
That’s intersectionality for you – Muslims are deemed to be fellow victims, hence above criticism.
“Blessed is the man that finds a wife before her “first blood”, prayed the imam when the Shah was first expelled.
Winston Churchill implied (my paraphrase), “Islam in a man is like rabies in a dog!”
BORAT: My wife was nice and tight when I bought her at 13, now three years later……
And that’s a point – what is it like for these underdeveloped children to be penetrated with a full-size male organ? I read of a UK situation, not one of paedophilia, but of marriage between a very tall man and a tiny woman, and the woman’s vagina was ruptured.
Those who claim Islam is the Religion of Peace is a Delusional Noodle Noggin
Brilliant and beautiful and heart-wrenchingly sad comment, Gabrielle.
I can only conjecture it comes from some wellspring of similar personal experience, but your comment illuminates one of the many ways that Islam corrupts and degrades everything it touches.
Thanks.
I am so sorry to learn what a travesty your childhood was – and so glad that you escaped, and that you are now my sister in Christ. Thank you for your illuminating and heartfelt articles.
One scholar on Islam, Robert Spencer, wrote that the Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law.”
Muslims view their Prophet Muhammad and their take him as the perfect module to follow as an example of how to live their own lives.
Therefore, male Muslim marriage of an adult man to a young girl who is really only a child of common in the world of Islam. One of the “reasons” for this female child abuse in Islam is because of the corrupt and perverse wickedness in the hearts of men. This is seen and described in the Bible with reads “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9. [N.K.J.V.]
To explain this in another way, the Islamic practice of an adult male Muslim having a marriage with a little girl who is only a child is part of Islam since all Muslim admire the prophet of Islam, Muhammad and attempt to live like him and he did marry a 9 year old girl.”.
Nevertheless, this heinous Islam tradition is accepted as “normal “in most of the Islamic world. Therefore, this may serve as an example of how the influence of Islam is able to warp the cogitation of the human mind to the extent that a person who is a Muslim might not be able to understand the obvious difference between right and wrong.
Such an awful thing as not having the discerning mental power to seethe clear difference is described in the Bible. For in Isaiah 5:20. “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil…”
The irony of 7th century barbarians, using the 21th century technology, invented by infidels, to promote their Stone Age traditions of sexual slavery. 😰
