This is from an article talking about underage "mut`a" or "`urfi" marriages to Syrian girls in Jordan.
I know it is literally "weak souled" or "weak hearted" but neither of these seem appropriate. Is it perhaps "heartless"? Thank you for any suggestions!
في بلد اشتعلت فيه الأسعار في شكل جنوني بسبب حجم اللجوء المرتفع، واتساع شهية ضعاف النفوس من التجار.
