Danish lawmaker Inger Støjberg faces prison for rescuing Islamic child brides

A Danish lawmaker is facing prosecution for rescuing children from Islamic child marriages in Denmark.

Denmark’s former Minister for Immigration, Integration, and Housing Inger Støjberg rescued migrant child brides from illegal marriages when they arrived in the country.

Serving as Immigration Minister from 2015 until 2019, Støjberg oversaw the peak of the “migrant crisis.”

During her time in office, she was known for her tough stance on illegal migration and her insistence that those arriving must respect Danish cultural values. She was also known for rescuing Muslim child brides.

Calling the practice of marrying child brides “medieval and cruel,” Støjberg did everything in her power to end the practise in Denmark.

Thus, Støjberg enacted a measure in 2016 in which the authorities were compelled to separate married couples in cases where the woman was under the age of 18.

“We must not turn a blind eye!” Støjberg said in a social media post, as reported by Norway’s Human Rights Service. “These girls are entitled to their own lives and need help. Anything else would have been completely obscene!”

But now, far-left parties in Denmark are threatening to prosecute Støjberg for violating a technicality of international law. Under the conventions concerning children, the separation of couples can only be carried out on a case-by-case basis. Støjberg, however, stated in a press release in 2016 that not every case would be dealt with individually – thus offering an opening to the Left to trap her. She is now under investigation.

Voiceofeurope.com reports: In her defense, Støjberg told the commission of inquiry on Sunday that the press release had been a political message and not a policy statement. “When you issue a press release, you do not talk about the exceptions,” she said. “You communicate the main points.” She insists that her actual instructions specified that individual assessments should be made in each case.

The investigation is still ongoing. When it is complete, the Danish Parliament will make a decision as to whether Støjberg shall be prosecuted or not.

The issue of child brides is not limited to Denmark but is endemic throughout the migrant communities of Western Europe — especially since Muslims see it as part of their culture. The BBC conducted an interview with a Muslim imam in which he stated that marrying child brides is permissible under Islamic law, as previously reported by Voice of Europe.

Well the current pedo laws in the west are really an entrapment set up over half a century almost by perversity personified as caring community values Its a tradition over centuries for 12 year kids to be married all over the entire planet Its quite normal throughout history everywhere Even younger for morganic marriages amongst wealthy or powerful families, such as Henry 7 proposing to marry Mary Stuart when she was 4 .all educated people and everyone knows girls were marrying from 13 to 16 or 17 very common Everywhere Marilyn Monroe first married at 16 The big boppers 3rd wife was 13 . My aunt married her first husband at 17 In school the top girl was engaged to her 24 to boyfriend at 16 .Rhe new pedi laws are an abomination against the human rights of young people everywhere
