Child marriage in Islam?

[A proud Muslim]

Is there any specific age for marriage in Islam? I have heard some salafis sheiks saying that it's even permissible to marry a 4 years old! How is that possible?!

[QuranSearchCom]

They are braying donkeys from a cult of donkeys.  Allah Almighty forbade for any boy or girl to be married off if they're not:

1-  Physically fit.
2-  Mentally fit.
3-  Socially fit.
4-  Mature enough.

Read the ample Noble Verses that clearly spell this out at:

There is no magical number regarding the minimum age for marriage in Islam, akhi.

ruling on giving a minor boy or daughter  to marriage https://islamqa.info/en/146882
he/she  must not sleep with his/her wife/husband until she/he reach puberty https://islamqa.info/en/22442

[QuranSearchCom]

.....a minor boy or daughter  to marriage ..... he/she  must not sleep with his/her wife/husband until she/he reach puberty

Do you see how stupid and false the cults that you're quoting sound?  Just complete opinionated garbage and ignorance.  It all contradicts the Glorious Quran.

No child can be married off by their parents.  Your parents do not own you.  Yes, they are responsible to raise you, but they do not own your future.  This is why Allah Almighty is several Noble Verses Commanded the Muslims to wait until the children "reach the age of marriage".

Do you see how stupid and false these cults are?

(a baby) he/she  must not sleep with his/her wife/husband until she/he reach puberty

What donkey brayed this?  These false cults make their stupid opinions as Islamic Divine Law.  "(a baby) must not sleep with his/her wife/husband".  Do you see how stupid and out of this planet these cults make you?



You can not marry off your child:

A person who has not "reached the age of marriage" is not to be married off.  Get that inside your head.  It's from the Glorious Quran.  I am not making this up.  Read the many Noble Verses in the link that I gave above.  Anyone who tells you otherwise is a prostitute who sold himself off to the satanic cults.  The almighty petro-dollar is quite influential and dominant.

A person who has not "reached the age of marriage" is not to be married off. 

yes, I agree. and our scholars also agree on this matter. they just said that, "if" it's necessary, then you are allowed to arrange a marriage for your child. otherwise it's haram.

[QuranSearchCom]

My dear brothter Mahir, again, donkeys braying who call themselves scholars.  Brother, a parent DOES NOT OWN their child!  Period.  No parent can marry off their baby.  No parent owns the future of their children.  Period.  And no one is allowed to get married until they "reach the age of marriage".

There is no necessity in marrying off a child, and you never have that right.  How do you know that the baby that you married your baby-daughter to will be a good man anyway???  Have you not read the story of Moses and Khidr?

Marrying off babies and children is a crime, akhi.  It is against Islam.

Aslaam alaikum
Please brother Osama kindly mind ur langauage.
Talking this way is not the part of Islam even.

Secondly Scholars are Agreed that it's permissible to marry a young girl and even a boy if that's going to serve clear interests of child it's not permissible to consummate the marriage until Girl becomes Physically Fit for Intercourse and intercourse is not going to harm her in any way but after she grows up and becomes Physically Fit for Intercourse and dislikes the Marriage she has the right to ask for a divorce or dissolution of Marriage

Wa Alaikum As'salam dear brother Affan,

Akhi, when you marry a young baby girl, you always subject her to the risk of getting pregnant at very very very young age.  This is something the Glorious Quran is against.  This is why Allah Almighty mentioned reaching "the age of marriage".

Everything you mentioned is opinions.  None of it is supported by the Glorious Quran.

I don't know why you guys kept talking about this topic, but here is my story about my parents.

My parents were born in Saudi Arabia. They are both conservative Muslims; for instance, my mother wears burqa in the United States.

How old are they? My mother is 10 years younger than him. They got married when they became adult.

In my experience, I haven't heard any issues about child marriage in Saudi Arabia. Human Right Watch doesn't say much about this topic.

I have dozens of uncles, aunts, cousins, etc, but I don't see any child marriage or early age.

However, the only thing I know is that Yemen has child bribes for a long time. Probably because of poverty and conflict. For example, when Saudi-led coalition invaded in Yemen, the child bribe has been grown rapidly, according to news reports.

Regarding holy Qur'an, there is one verse that mentioned child marriage:

"And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women – if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated. And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth. And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him of his matter ease." – Quran 65:4 (Sahih International Translation).


Many Muslim scholars said this verse supports child marriage, but this is questionable. Here is the link from Discover-the-Truth website about this particular verse. I urge you to read it.

Jazaka Allah Khayr for the link, dear brother Albarra:

I have added it to the following article under Noble Verse 65:4 section:

How do you know that the baby that you married your baby-daughter to will be a good man anyway???

indeed, you are right. but it's possible that certain situation may arise while we have to do haram,but then haram is considered as halal.
as example,  pig is also halal, if you want to avoid death.
