The story in the OP has been confirmed to be not true.
As far as who started the false storys circulation, I cannot answer that question.
That particular story may not be true - but, it's indicative of a very real problem in Yemen. Yemen has a reputation for child marriages.
That may be true. But the problem being raised through a fictious story that paints this as an evil of Islam is not the way to discuss this global problem of child marriages, that affects peoples of many different cultures and religions.
I agree...well said.
