andyanders:


so, you can allow your 6 yr old child or 9 yr old child to marry? That your religious practice sucks because ONLY a demonic person that will sleep with a 6 or 9 yr old child and see nothing wrong with that.
Only God will judge you people because all powers belongs to him. If cannot be touched by the cries of an infant 6yr old, then you are a replica of demon and if your religion accepts molesting an infant child of 6 to 9 rys, then I now know what you religion is for. I rest my case.

bennychuks: Ifeness or whatever you call yourself I warned u to keep your mouth shut or u incure the anger of God of christians. I know u will try to make some insults to this wirter. I assure u that ur woes has started. For u to have the got to insult my God,the God of heaven and earth u shall begin to have sleepless night so that u should know that God of christians is the God of heaven and earth.

jelel6: It's obvious that most of the people who posted here are christians, going by their level of reasoning! Let me clarify something here, the supposed 'underage' marriage law is Not thesame as the islamic viewpoint. Though the Qur'an is silent as to the age for marriage, But the prophet is reported to have said that once a child reaches puberty, he or she is allowed to marry.BUT THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS MUST BE FULFILLED;
1. The approval of the parent must be meet.
2. The girl in question must approve of the marriage. .
Now tell me, where does it say that you MUST allow your daughter to marry at a tender age. When you know that she is not mentally, emotional, physically ready to make such decisions. Dont forget the prophet said 'PUBERTY' not whatever the senate lawmakers suggests. What this means is that spiritually we dont consider it to be a sin if you allow or marry after attaining puberty.
If you more concern with the moral implication, am happy to clarify also:
the only argument i can recognise here as Genuine is the medical consequences which may arise if a girl marries at a tender age. For that, Allah has said in the quran that he we not place on us a burden which we can not bear.the general agreement in shariah is that when a practice becomes a danger to ones health or life, as proven by a medical doctor, them that practice should be avoided.
Any honest person, with reason,
who is not blinded by sentiment and prejudice, will conclude that the senate did not totally evaluate the situation, its trend and the dangers which may arise If the girl is too young. They failed to carryout their duty as guardians which is to analyse the situation and determine an age which will be totally free relatively from girl to girl from any medical complications. Hence, Neither prophet muhammed nor the religion "Islam" should be blamed.
Peace!

Don Demu: This guy is just hating cos he sure knows how tight a 9yr old will be down there and his fake religious belief wont allow him have a taste.

donchris999: Is your empty mad proffesor cultist who married and divorced 3 wives not seeing this. Has he suddenly lost his voice because it is tinubu's religion and not Gej's religion. Why would the empty mad proffesor talk when he sees matured women as domestic appendages and sex symbol not to talk of the girl child. The mad proffessor will soon be a regular visitor to yerima's house to give him a pat at the back for putting women were they belong. It is high time we divide this country and stop this madness, let the mad and corrupt people form their own country with the terrorist and paedophile people. Nigeria is a joke with mad people parading themselves as leaders. This madness must stop!

nijanigga:
You're either being disingenuous or you're not a true or proper Muslim. If Gov Yerima who introduced sharia law does not see anything wrong in marrying a 13 year old girl imported from Egypt,which kind of muslim are you then,by quoting the above from your feign mind?

shoody: If the Muslims did not protest against gay marriage as promoted by the Vatican, pope refusal to allow priests get married. Why the hullabaloo about the rights of a Muslim to marry a lady of marriageable age? There is no where 6 year old was ever mentioned as bandied about and where were the men of God in the Senate

Notes: (AISHA WAS NOT 9 YEARS OLD OR A CHILD WHEN THE PROPHET MARRIED HER)
[8] The popular version of ‘Ãisha’s youth age has been exploited by the anti-Islamic groups to attack the Prophet “for marrying a child”. The fact of the matter is that Lady ‘Ãisha was not a child when she was married in 2 AH to the Prophet. At-Tabari, the famous Muslim historian, writes that Abu Bakr’s first two wives and their children were all born in the pre-Islamic era. (Ta’rīkh at-Tabari, vol. 2 [Beirut: al-A‘lami, n.d.] p. 616.) Based on this, even if she was born a year before the commencement of Islam, ‘Ãisha would be 15 or 16 years old at the time of her marriage to the Prophet – an age in which marriage is common in most cultures. Ibn Kathīr, in his al-Bidãyah wa ’n-Nihãyah (vol. 8, p. 381) states that Asmã’ bint Abu Bakr, the sister of ‘Ãisha, was ten years older than ‘Ãisha. He also reports that Asmã’ died in the year 73 AH at the age of 100. Based on this calculation, ‘Ãisha was 18 or 19 years old at the time of her marriage.

LagosShia: [b]first muslims do not support "underage" marriage as the title of the thread suggest. we have to first understand who is "underage" to conclude that muslims are supporting "underage" marriage or not.according to Nigerian law,the age of consent for girls in Nigeria is 13 year old.if you look at many muslim countries,the age is above that as different factors are also considered.

there are factors which determine if a girl is mature enough to get married.it is not what the parents want,as Islam forbids marriage in which the girl does not have a say about the man she is getting married to and is expected to live the rest of her life with.forcing girls into marriage is forbidden in islam and amounts to oppression,which is a sin.

the physical and mental conditions of a girl is to be taken into consideration before marriage,and also the time and environment matter.for example in about a century ago,the age of consent in some parts of the United States was 10 year old.the question arises as to who or what determines if a girl is mature enough to enter marriage.in Islam,when a girl reaches the age of puberty and she is physically grown enough,she can become a woman or perform intimacy within a legal framework (i.e. marriage),as "boy friends" are not allowed for muslim girls.now the question arises if EVERY girl that sees her period can get married.of course not! there is the mental maturity of girls and the time and environment she is living in that also determine if girls can get married once they are physically mature.in the past,a girl that is physically mature can get married at age 12 for instance.but now when it takes 12 years to finish high school,can a girl of 12 get married? by the time she is done with high school she would be oldest at 16.these are things to take into consideration,in addition to the girl's and parents' consent. otherwise the word "underage" is subjective and prejudiced.even in the west as I cited the USA, there was no yardstick to determine what was "underage".they reduced and increased it as they wanted to,and still do.we also know according to a report found in the Catholic encyclopedia that Mary (as),the virgin mother of Jesus (as),is said to have been age 12 when she conceived,and at that time she was betrothed to Joseph,who was a man of 90 year old.time,environment,consent,alongside maturity (physical and mental),all have to play a role to determine the age suitable for a girl to get married.

LagosShia: TURNING THE TABLES ON THE IGNORANT CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES:

HOW OLD WAS MARY WHEN SHE CONCEIVED MIRACULOUSLY?

Mary was 12 or 13 years old! so says the Catholic Encyclopaedia and the Oxford Dictionary Bible.

source: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15464b.htm

furthermore,Mary (at a tender age) was engaged to Joseph who was at that time 90 years old!!!!

Regarding the Marriage of Mary to Joseph, Catholic Encyclopaedia(http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08504a.htm),says:


"When forty years of age, Joseph married a woman called Melcha or Escha by some, Salome by others; they lived forty-nine years together and had six children, two daughters and four sons, the youngest of whom was James (the Less, "the Lord's brother". A year after his wife's death, as the priests announced through Judea that they wished to find in the tribe of Juda a respectable man to espouse Mary, then twelve to fourteen years of age, Joseph, who was at the time ninety years old,[/b]went up to Jerusalem among the candidates; a miracle manifested the choice God had made of Joseph, and two years later the Annunciation took place."

Note: That article on Catholic Encyclopaedia obtains its information from early Christian writing .

Wsdm:
Every aspect of Islamic practice must be preserve no matter how ill it sound to others. Underage marriages are only optional just like polygamy. Who ever do not practice it is not call to account. But you can't stop others from practicing it because you don't subscribe to it.

Buc: Islamic republic of Nigeria and not the federal Republic of Nigeria. If we practise "true federalism", state houses of assembly would be the ones making the decision on this issue, that way those state that reject such practices can be safe heavens for victims and jail for anybody that would not let them be after they move into areas that see them as underage.

omenka:

And what has you people's jesus on earth done or said about this reprehensible assault on womanhood?

Chanchit: Huhuhuhhhuhuhuuhuhuhuh. Laughing in arabic. So Mr (SAW) sef strike 9yrs old pikin...? No wonder. Its now I knw that conscience is the atlas of religion. How would I defy a 9yrs old and still go and pray with the hope that God would hear my prayers.
