Reuters News is a Freaking Disgrace

Which one of these headlines doesn't belong?


Not sure? Here's a clue: It would be the one linking to the story wherein the marriage between an eight-year-old girl and a 30-year-old man is thusly described:
A Yemeni court ordered the marriage of an eight-year-old girl terminated on Tuesday because she had not reached puberty.

...The girl's lawyer and human rights activist Shatha Nasser said the minor had filed a suit in April asking for divorce and told the court that her husband had been physically abusing her and forcing her to have "sex with him after hitting her."
Hmm, it seems to me there's a word for that. What is it again...? Oh yeah: RAPE.

That's one hell of a double whammy, Reuters. Congratulations.
