"Marrying kidnapped girls  is not permitted." Boko Haram kidnapped some 250 girls on April 14 from a secondary school  in Chibok village, near the Cameroon border, while they took exams.  Fifty have since escaped. Shekau's video was released on Monday, sparking a wave of revulsion in  Nigeria and abroad and prompting offers of help from countries such as  the United States, Britain and France to search for them.On Thursday,scholars and human rights officials of the Organization of  Islamic Cooperation denounced the kidnapping as "a gross  misinterpretation of Islam". This week, Al-Azhar also said that the kidnapping "has nothing to do with the tolerant and noble teachings of Islam."</blockquote>
