Very unusual that this was a Saudi production. Like-what the heck?
Could they possibly be readying the masses for a move against the child bride scourge?
Somehow I doubt it, but how do you explain this series otherwise?
"The Minors, which tells viewers the story of a 9-year-old bride. Reactions in the Islamic world to the series have been stormy. "
"The series not only
criticizes the early age at which these girls are taken as wives, but
also the fact that the men are often paid to take these girls as their
wives, taking advantage of the poverty of the young brides' families."
"In the opening scene of the series aired last week, a nine-year-old
girl, Sabah Shama, is seen playing with her friends. Suddenly viewers
are shown signs that little Sabah is ‘coming of age,’ meaning she is now
marriageable"
UGH.
Barbarians.
