Confusion Over Syrian Wedding Package
- 19 June 2013
KUALA LUMPUR: The sudden surge of postings, on several blogs and Facebook since last week, over an unconfirmed news report purportedly from Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood offering special packages to wed Syrian women have caused a stir among Netizens.
Harian Metro reported today that one of the Facebook posts claimed that the Muslim women, aged between 15 and 20, were ready for marriage for a mere USD40 (RM126) and currently housed somewhere in Cairo.
Also mentioned were the need for the suitor to top-up the travelling fees, costing an additional RM2,000, wedding reception for 200 guests (RM2,000), and RM300 for the qadi and documentation. The total cost of the entire package sums up to about RM4,420.
Photographs of young and beautiful Syrian women were also attached next to the package.
Harian Metro reported that the blogs received mixed reactions from its readers. Most were angered by the idea and opined that such action would tarnish the image of Islam and gave the impression that Muslims are all in favor for polygamy.
Meanwhile, a Facebook page belonging to 'Rakyat Malaysia Bersama Revolusi Syria' denied the existence of such package and called the post as irresponsible. It claimed the post was purposely created by certain group and does not reflect the religion.
In their latest post yesterday, the group said they were puzzled that the matter was being circulated extensively although authenticity of the news is still debatable.
Malaysian Scholars Advisory Bureau (ILMU) chief Fazrin Ahmad Yahya said the issue could started following a documentary titled 'Syria's Sex Slaves' in Jordan on the suffering of Syrian women that had appeared on YouTube recently.
