"According to UNICEF, there are about 60 million young women worldwide who were married before they came of age, half of them in South Asia."

...which is not principally a Muslim area of the world. This issue is poverty-driven, not religiously bound up with Islam. Girls from severely poor families are being married off like this, where the boys are being sold into child labour slavery (see photo below on linked page above of child labourers in Bangladesh.)

And I agree with Bonzo in that it also looked very much to me that Cope was using this as an example to support his well-documented position on Islam. And he may well accuse us of hiding behind 'political correctness' again, when actually we're seeing more of the wider reality behind this than how it helps us grind a particular political axe.
