Enemies Of Islam And The Senate's Resolution On Marriageable Age In The Constitu by princemolak(m): 5:47pm On Jul 20, 2013
Why do they find pleasure in antagonizing the Shari'ah? Why do they like tampering with our religious rights? If they are not conscious of their own religious rights, that is their own business. We are conscious of ours. I dont think they know what human right is again. They just keep mixing everything up.

To some people, it is human right to fornicate and engage in homosexuals, but it is not human right to marry early and safe the family from the kind of embarrassments that results from pre-marital sex. Pre-marital sex is now the order of the day and they think nothing is wrong with this generation. They are even teaching us how to do it in various NYSC camps in Nigeria

If a Muslim patronizes Islamic (non-interest) Banks, what is your headache? How does that affect you? You can go for a banking system that would kill your dreams with incredible rate of interest. Despite all their plots to stop the operation of Islamic banking in Nigeria, it would surprise you to note that many non-Muslims are now banking with Jaiz Bank because of its efficiency and viable prospects.

If a Muslim parent choses to give out his virgin girl (bikr) in marriage at the age of 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13..., how is that your problem? You can wait and allow your female children to commit fornication for several years before allowing her to marry, that is not our own business.

Western ideologies have blocked the thinking sense of many people today. One of the best way to curb the problem of moral decadence, sexual mistakes and crimes in our society today is early marriage. If a lady has an idea of the person she would marry at the early stage of her life, she would have a sense of belonging and would be restrained from any form of sexual temptation. But where a lady keep lingering here and there without a rope (like a straying goat), she feels free to do anything she likes. That is what what give different guys the confidence and opportunity to taste her before she gets to the final consumer.

If some women are to count the number of men that have taken advantage of them, you would be surprised at the incredible figure that would be mentioned. But God is so Merciful, the res is not like an electronic meter, it doesn't read. So, no one can measure the frequency of its visitors except God and the owner herself. Some ladies cannot even count the number of guys who have visited them. This is the reason why it is very difficult to find virgins among young men and women today.

If you don't know about something, why don't you ask questions, instead of condemning it maliciously. All these religious hatred, propaganda and bigotry should stop.

Afterall, the doctrine of compelling a virgin lady to marry a particular person at whatever age (ijbar) is not mandatory upon non-Muslims and the virgin girl given out in marriage at a tender age has the right to either ratify or disapprove it when she attains puberty. This is one of the most essential conditions of ijbar under the shari'ah.

Apart from that, the marriage can only be consumated when she attains the age of majority. So, what is the problem of the enemies of Islam in Nigeria and elsewhere in the world? We know there is virtually nothing that we can do to please you. But please, if you must criticise us, do it constructively and not obnoxiously. Stop attacking us spitefully without proper reasons.

So, what has Ahmed Sani Yerima done wrong again? God so good, the issue was debated in the floor of the Senate and the truth prevailed. The resolution was successfully passed by the legislative majority. Now, they are threatening to protest against the resolution of the Senate, does this make them reasonable at all?

However, it is very important to point out at this juncture that if any Muslim wants to practice this Islamic principle, it must be done in proper consideration of the rules and regulations of the shari'ah. There are numerous cases of abuse of this process by many Muslims, especially in the Northern Nigeria where this is majorly practiced. Some Muslims view this practice from cultural or customary angle instead of the religious perspective.

If a Muslim wants to practice ijbar, the principles of the shari'ah on it must be strictly and exclusively adhered to. Although Islam permits ijbar, child abuse is haram. We should not use the permission of ijbar under the shari'ah to violate other provisions of the shari'ah. What I am stressing in essence is that a person to whom a bikr is offered must not defile her

Similarly, when the virgin lady becomes matured, if she wishes to disapprove the marriage, she must not be induced, coerced or tortored to approve it. It is highly reprehensible under the shari'ah for any woman to be married forcefully against her wish. In an Hadith of the Prophet, sollaLohu 'alaihi wasallam, Abu Hurairah, rodhiyaLohu 'anh reported that the Prophet (peace and
blessings be upon him) said:

"A non-virgin woman may not be married without her command, and a virgin may
not be married without her permission; and enough permission for her is to
remain silent (because of her natural shyness)." [Al-Bukhari, Muslim, and others]

Thus the Prophet (peace and blessings be
upon him), prohibits forcing a virgin in marriage without her permission, whether
it be her father or someone else.

Furthermore, Ayshah, rodhiyaLohu 'anha said that she asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):

"In the case of a young girl whose parents marry her, should her permission be sought or not?" He replied, "Yes, she must give her permission." She then said,
"But a virgin will be shy, O Allah's Messenger." He answered: "Her silence is [considered as] her
permission." [Al-Bukhari, Muslim, and
others]

In the same vein, the fact that a young female virgin is linked with a man in marriage does not automatically put an end to her education (both Islamic and western). In Islam, education of women is as important as education of men. The search for beneficial knowledge is mandatory upon the Muslimeen and the Muslimaat. There should be no discrimination in the quality of education of the men and women.

The celebrated case of Malala Yusufzai of Pakistan who was reportedly shot on the head by the Talibans for promoting female child's education in the country was unfortunate. There is no principle of the shari'ah that prevents women from seeking for beneficial knowledge like their male counterparts. In fact, we need more female Muslims in the medical field now than ever before. You all know the reason why. It is unfortunate that most Muslim women are treated by male gynacologists in the 21st Century when we have the opportunity of having female doctors.

However, the conditions for female children education must be met. There must be no free mixing of males in and females. It is most appropriate for men to train men and for women to train women. But where it would be difficult to achieve this, we must fear Allah and implement the principles of shari'ah to the best of our ability.

May Allah forgive us our sins and guide us aright in all our dispositions.

Ibn Abdallah As-sudaisiy

Iran seeks to legalise marriage for girls under 10

Saturday, 07 July 2012

The legal affairs committee of the Majles, the Iranian parliament, has told the press that they regard the law that prohibits girls below the age of 10 from being married off to be 'un-Islamic and illegal'.

Mohabatnews ) - According to recently released statistics, in the past few weeks over 75 female children under 10 were forced to marry much older men. In 3929 cases, bride and groom were both under 14.

In a discussion of the issue organised by the Khabar Online news website, conservative law-maker and spokesperson for the Majles committee Mohammad Ali Isfenani said: "Before the revolution girls under 16 were not allowed to marry.

Mohammad Ali Isfenani

Parents determined to get around the law would often tamper with their daughter's birth certificate. Under the previous constitution, people were legally regarded as adults when they were 18. After the revolution the age at which children were regarded as going through puberty was lowered to 9 for girls and 15 for boys.

" He added: "As some people may not comply with our current Islamic legal system, we must regard 9 as being the appropriate age for a girl to have reached puberty and qualified to get married. To do otherwise would be to contradict and challenge Islamic Sharia law."

He also confirmed that under his chairmanship the legal committee of the Majles would seek to change the current legislation./ shahrzad

Tens of thousands worldwide petition Iran to end child marriages
CHILD MARRIAGE
August 19, 2012
By: D.M. Murdock

A call to action at ThePetitionSite.com created by Christian Miller targets the Iranian government and requests that it not legalize the forced marriage of girls under the age of 10. The petition has garnered the signatures of many thousands of people worldwide, a number of whom have expressed outrage at the Islamic Republic's move, which some consider to reflect an attitude towards female children as property and household slaves.

in this age and time,it is wrong for so many reasons,and also because the reasons which motivated a 9 year old to get married back then hardly exist in our time.

Ayatollah Khomeini was born in 1902,a period during which the age of consent in parts of Europe and America was at age 10.there is no sin in islam that a girl should delay in marriage.and if she is not physically and mentally mature,with both the parents' and the girl's consent,she cant get married.

perverts like yerima who already have many wives should not take islam as excuse for his perversion in 2013.early marriage as it used to be for the sake of procreation (as diseases and famine were rampant in the distant past,leading to high mortality rate) and for the understanding of morality,do not exist in 2013.Aisha's age should also not be exploited as Aisha was not a child when the Prophet (sa) married as historical sources confirm.Aisha was at least 16 or 17,and possibly 21 year old.

if you or whoever cannot reason,then you got problem,and you should be ashamed for supporting perverts.

No because most girls don't attain puberty at that age and a whole lot of other factors like the country we live in and the requirement of the uniformity of laws enacted by National Assembly would make it impracticable to make a law to that effect without contravening Islamic guidelines.

Call people to Islam with wisdom, so the Qu'ran says, and Ali (ra) defines wisdom as knowing when to talk and when not to.

I believe this is bad timing, the country is heated enough with the activities of Boko haram and their so-called 'islamic jihad', why bring such a sensitive issue?

And not to talk of the country we live in, in as much as I want shariah to be enacted, we must also understand Nigeria is not an Islamic state yet, we should invite people towards islam with hikmah.

There are lots of things Islam needs right now, this obviously is not one of them in my opinion.

using your argument I can say the following, perverts like Khomeini who already married, but made changes to the law of marriage by reverting the age of consent to 9 during the Iranian revolution a time when the marriage age in Europe and America was 18 abused their authority as religious leaders an exploit shia as means to justify their own perversion, now retatded decision, using ur own words, of Khomeini has served as guidance that retards of the Iranian Parliament that they now state it is even illegal under shia Shari'a to do so. as far as authoritativeness go, you utterly irrelevant as a source of shia knowledge compared to Khomeini, while in your opinion he is a pervert, Khomeini opinion in this matter carries weight, yours simply represent your own opinion wwhich deviates from what Khomeini whose words remains a source of guidance to countless shias.

by the way do you care to tell us how old was your mother when your father married/punctured her (because I doubt a child born in of wedlock can be this rude and misguided)? perhaps you're hurt based on your own family experience,so you're out here beating around the bush and throwing words left and right.

a girl must be physically mature (seeing her period,her features are ripe,bodily fit to be able to handle a man and in the process childbirth if pregenancy result,and sound health),and also mentally mature (she is educated to some extent and can think for herself to know what is good and bad according to the religion).these are the least requirements.

lol sonce we are both in agreement that Tetonyerima is a pervert, we must apply your standards to Khomeini behavior, and the result is he is a pervert, Khomeini married a minor by modern Iranian law, further more like yerima, Khomeini permitted marriage with minors something u claimed to be retarded and pervert behavoir , I agree totally, regardless of whether Khomeini benefited from the law or not is neither Here nor there, he is no different from the pervert yerima they are both in agreement that marrying minors is not bad, then again the retards steps of Khomeini is being reenact by the Iranian Parliament filled with perverts like Khomeini, I am simply using your standards to judge things, Khomeini regardless of how you perceive him, remains more knowledgeable that any shia who hears your bantering mright accuse you of being a shia and further doubt whether u were legitimately conceive and further question how old was your mum was when your father had her, officiate this changes nothing, the shiia would then question whether you knew who Khomeini was and why would your standard judge him to be a pervert and retards, hence regardless of how u justify your argument Khomeini and yerima are simply Co travellers on the trip to marrying minors further and followed by the retards of Iranian Parliament. Khomeini could be a shia scholar, to me he just another individual who decisions are binding on shias and opened to my criticism. regardless of your revulsion Khomeini decision attains a higher degree of validity. I can only condemn his decision which I expect u to do if you are truthful as it has set precedence for misguided retards,perverts of the Iranian Parliament to follow. maybe two of us can do a review of his decision to know whether he is worthy of being called a shia scholar.

lol sonce we are both in agreement that Tetonyerima is a pervert, we must apply your standards to Khomeini behavior, and the result is he is a pervert, Khomeini married a minor by modern Iranian law, further more like yerima, Khomeini permitted marriage with minors something u claimed to be retarded and pervert behavoir , I agree totally, regardless of whether Khomeini benefited from the law or not is neither Here nor there, he is no different from the pervert yerima they are both in agreement that marrying minors is not bad, then again the retards steps of Khomeini is being reenact by the Iranian Parliament filled with perverts like Khomeini, I am simply using your standards to judge things, Khomeini regardless of how you perceive him, remains more knowledgeable that any shia who hears your bantering mright accuse you of being a shia and further doubt whether u were legitimately conceive and further question how old was your mum was when your father had her, officiate this changes nothing, the shiia would then question whether you knew who Khomeini was and why would your standard judge him to be a pervert and retards, hence regardless of how u justify your argument Khomeini and yerima are simply Co travellers on the trip to marrying minors further and followed by the retards of Iranian Parliament. Khomeini could be a shia scholar, to me he just another individual who decisions are binding on shias and opened to my criticism. regardless of your revulsion Khomeini decision attains a higher degree of validity. I can only condemn his decision which I expect u to do if you are truthful as it has set precedence for misguided retards,perverts of the Iranian Parliament to follow. maybe two of us can do a review of his decision to know whether he is worthy of being called a shia scholar.

"Khomeini" appears 11 times in your short post. grin

this thread is not about Khomeini who passed away in 1989.it is about a law sponsored by yerima in 2013.

and for your info whether it is Khomeini or in fact the Prophet (sa) himself who married a 9 year old girl,it is wrong and condemnable for someone who is sane and just.be it Khomeini or whoever,i condemn it because there are many 9 year old girls especially in our age and time who do not mature (physically and mentally) to meet the requirements for marriage.if Islam makes a provision for marriage at the youngest age being 9 for girls with conditions,it does not mean marrying girls at 9 should become the norm and law.rather it is the exception and not the rule.and this we witness in many muslim countries.stop hiding behind Khomeini (who married his wife at age 16 as presently 16 is the age of consent in iran) and get sane.why do you think many point out with records to show that Aisha was 16,17 or 21 when the Prophet (sa) married her?

grin grin grin grin abi ohhhh , better to shut up than continually.dribble yourself, anyway since u stated your position as being the Islamic position it is only sensible for us to view the major opinion of shia scholar who u claim to follow, well from every indication Khomeini position in this matter is unislamic.

EARLY MARRIAGE? - By Dr. Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu

A virus is a small infectious agent replicates only inside the living cells.Viruses infect all types of organisms, from animals and plants to bacteria. Since 1892 when Dmitri Ivanovsky described a non-bacterial pathogen infecting tobacco about 5,000 viruses have been described in detail,they can be found in every ecosystem on Earth and are the most abundant type of biological entity.

Of late, virus have found a heavenly host in the Nigerian social media network.

In minutes,a concept can go viral,permeating every corner of the world.This trend can be greatly beneficial,but also deadly dangerous. On this particular occasion I find it dangerous. In the last 48hrs, there has been an outcry on social media about a bill in the Nigerian Senate to legalise child marriage. The bone of contention simply ' Instead, they gave a legislative seal of approval for the marriage of underage girls. That means even a 5 year old toddler could be married off by her parents' Pro ported to be pushed by Senator Yerima Ahmed Sani,the former governor of Zamfara state,the institutor of sh aria law and admittedly a colourful and controversial figure. There is no reference to where this legislative seal lies. Which section of which constitution. All that is going round is an advocacy outcry and anti child marriage logos. If this rage against the so called amendment legalising child marriage is to remind us of Yerima's marriage to an Egyptian girl a few years ago then let us clearly say so. Again if the aim is to create awareness against child marriage then kudos again but let us be clear. But to mix up the two issues is mischievous and unnecessary.

Unfortunately it seems as a nation we delight in criticizing actions taken by leadership blindly,without objective use of glaring facts. The debate on the constitutional amendment was televised nationally. The senate sittings are documented daily. The votes and proceeding document is a legal document produced and available to the public. Unlike the British constitution that's unwritten, ours is written clearly and available to buy on most street corners. So anyone that can read the english language access and analyze what and what happened. Instead, majority of us are just copying pasting and broadcasting a misleading and inciting message. What is upsetting to me personally now is that this 'us' that are spreading the stop the child marriage message can read. We graduated from the best primary schools and obtained degrees from an era when universities that didn't go on endless strikes. So 'WE' have no right to be spreading messages without at the very least verifying what the true situation is. I have received at least 10 of the message. Directed against the Nigerian senate and Ahmed Sani in particular. I am certain also certain that all of these 10 people can read, possess TVs and internet subscriptions that enables them access past events and most of all do not have up to six degrees of separation from the legislators that can easily explain what the issue is. The danger of this is obvious. We are living in divisive times when suddenly every Nigerian is acutely aware of being muslim or christian,being Urobo or Kanuri. Feelings that certainly didn't exist in my formative years but are glaring in my twilight ones.

The issue is one split in two. Chapter 3 covers citizenship of Nigeria. Chapter 3 clause 26 relates to attaining whilst Chapter 3 clause29 relates to renouncing Nigerian citizenship.

As it is, the law allows foreign wives to obtain Nigerian citizenship via marriage; Chapter 3clause(26)(a). Conversely, if a Nigerian woman marries a foreign man, he does not automatically get the right to apply for Nigerian citizenship. That gender discrimination was considered in the ongoing review by the current lawmakers. The votes and proceedings paper of Tuesday 16th July 2013 show the senators voted to replace the word woman for person. A less discriminatory word and giving Nigerian women the power to grant her husband citizenship of her country also.

The second issue and probably the more pertinent one is the Renouncement of Nigerian citizenship. This is what is being erroneously broadcast. Chapter 3 Section 29(1) of the Nigerian constitution states that to renounce citizenship, one must be of full age. Subsection 4 goes further to define full age as a) 18yrs and above and b) woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age.

The 2013 review sought to remove the second qualifier. That is a married woman. On the surface, it didn't seem to make sense to differentiate in that manner as in the earlier section 26. Not until Senator Ahmed Sani pointed out the historic reason for this.

Whilst 18years is generally accepted as the age of maturity in most cultures Islamic law is not as clearly stated. Maturity in Islam is measured in various ways. One of which is marriage. Thus a married woman, (and NOT a 5year old) is deemed mature enough to make a decision to renounce her citizenship of Nigeria. Furthermore, in 1979,the lawmakers led by late Aminu Kano of PRP felt the age 18 years used was an arbitrary western concept of maturity. The legislators in 1979 at the time agreed to the PRP argument and it was included.
Even in the west, standards are adjusted to suit the welfare of all citizens. In the USA for instance, a 14year old that gets pregnant and has a child is eligible to social benefits,including housing, even though she cannot vote. So in her welfare,she is treated as an adult and provided safe home for herself and her child.

Last week, when Senator Ahmed Sani pointed out the same reason and sought not to remove the married woman clause. The senators voted 60 ayes to 35nos and thus the constitution will remain as it is assuming the bill that will eventually be brought from this is passed. A minimum of 72(one third) votes are required for any amendment to pass. The nays and abstains do not matter. This amendment had 60,and thus failed.

Both times, relating to section 26 and 29, the lawmakers voted in a manner that carried along gender and religion; a reflection of why each of us has a senator representing our interests. Nothing in the proceedings indicate age of marriage or how a legislative seal was given to child or even adult marriage as is being circulated in the messages going around.

Because I have mentioned Islamic law and maturity, I will mention one more point. I mention it to balance,not to start a religious debate. What is the age of competence for marriage? I am not an expert in Islamic jurisprudence, so I cannot go further than I have. However in the 12th century, the age for marriage without parental consent was set by the Roman Catholic church, a ruling which remains unchanged. For females it is 12 years and for males it is 14 years. Conversely in Islam, a 20year female old can not get married without the consent of her parents. Agreed Nigerian laws are neither Islamic or catholic. Instead the laws are guided by these major religions and native laws and customs. If we feel the need to put more clarity in this has come, then let us say so and do so in the proper way. Over the last year,each legislator has had constituency meetings on the ongoing constitutional amendments. This was stepped up to the Zonal groupings where each zone took a stand on the various issues. We had ample time to make submissions to amend our constitution. Anyone who didn't do so at the time has no moral justification to take to twitter and facebook lamblasting imaginary changes in our laws.

Yerima's fault on this occasion might also be in his timing. As a member of the current constitutional review committee, he had ample time to bring the issue to the table and stop it being included on the recommended change that was debated on Tuesday. But that is Yerima. That is his way. You can love him or hate him, that is another matter.

All I am saying here is,let us be careful in our expressing our sentiments and use social media to unite Nigeria unshakably, instead of ripping her apart bit by bit. Till there are no 5year olds left to marry even if Yerima wanted to.

yusuf01: Call people to Islam with wisdom, so the Qu'ran says, and Ali (ra) defines wisdom as knowing when to talk and when not to.

I believe this is bad timing, the country is heated enough with the activities of Boko haram and their so-called 'islamic jihad', why bring such a sensitive issue?

And not to talk of the country we live in, in as much as I want shariah to be enacted, we must also understand Nigeria is not an Islamic state yet, we should invite people towards islam with hikmah.

There are lots of things Islam needs right now, this obviously is not one of them in my opinion.

Please leave Boko Haram out of this
I went to school. My children will. I will support whoever wants to go to school like Malala wants for girls
Shekau says they support killing children in schools.
Killing people who are in church is a sin
Killing women and children is a sin
Killing muslims is a sin
The don't represent what I want. I denounce them

That aside Muslims should be able to discuss what matters to them anytime
Otherwise all issues that have effect on Muslims would be brought up now and we would keep quiet and live under the law
And this matter has to do with age of discernment under the constitution

Are Christians not forging ahead of concern to them, BH or no BH, Rev King or not?
Please we have to live in this world and not submit to perpetual fear of controversy

... and mistake me as the person supporting it.

I never referred to you in my post, (maybe you mistake my mentioning Ali (ra) as referring to you), don't act on insinuations and suspicions, Islam frowns at it.

But then, I was talking about the northern senators that want to pass such a bill, If you have read Yerima's response to this whole child marriage stuff, I believe you'll understand my post better.
