If this is allah will for a child to be abusive and forced or allowed into early marriage, then I believe the koran must av be altered some where. cos me think allah the gracious and merciful as they put it won't allow this or maybe... Islam as a religion give credence to karl max word which said that "religion is indeed an opium of the masses"

Kay512:
Yes! because the Qur'an is meant to be our guide.
With a clear mind (without sentiment), I want you to answer this: If your holy book deemed something good but your "conscience( natural police)" deemed wrong will you condemn it?

gunuvi: in as much I pity the young girl she should face the music. why didn't she kill her parents who gave her out. at least she too is a Muslim and would have supported one or two similar sharia punishments in the past. now its her turn. if a Muslim is judged by sharia law we should let it be. they all supports the law.

Sissie:

You should read, ignorance is not an excuse.
From the Catholic to Protestant Christians, and jews it was said she was under 16 years although no specific age was recorded.

Feraz: at the bolded, really? Where's the proof? In what manuscript was it written? What made you believe that fact if not that you're looking for justification for what your religion preaches? Pls, give me a link with enough evidences that Mary married at that age and not some 'it was said'! All through my research on this issue, I discovered that it was only assumption based on the fact that most scholars believed that 'ancient Jewish tradition' normally give their girls out at 12 and not that there were documented evidences. So pls ma'am Sissie, I need documented proof. Thank you.

Chinziaski, the same also goes to you. Thank you.

Sadly the legal age of marriage in Iran is set at 13 for girls and 15 for boys.

However, the same Act allows girls below 13 and boys below 15 to be wed but conditioned on the consent of their father and the permission of a court judge.

In addition, there are reports that Iranian legal affairs committee is pushing to lower the legal age of marriage for girls back to 9 years of age.

These people and their Law, you never see anything, they rush the marriages like hot Rice. SMH

LyfeJennings:

U are very cruel.
U dont deserve to be human.
I am a strongpractising muslim. Was born and raised in Islam but I do not and will not support that evil judgement. If only U know what happens over there. If only U know what goes on in places like that. They live in stone age with very tough laws that is not fit for any human in modern times. ..

numerical_guy: The age for marriage in the USA is 12 years

The age for marriage in the state of Massachusetts is 12, while in New Hampshire is 14, most other state in the US range from 15 to 16
The age for marriage in Israel is 15

Even Mary the mother of Jesus Christ had him when she was between the age of 13-14 years old, this goes to show that should have conceived her child as early as 12 years, but the bigots on nairaland will want to pretend they don’t know that.

Violent crimes in the US is a disaster where murders, rape, armed robbery, gun running, are a way of life. In Louisiana for instance, the murder rate is 14.5 per 100,000 people. In California, the Police are so overwhelmed by murder cases that they stop investigating a murder case after the third day, because within that time, more other murders would have been committed.

All those people are mostly Christians who were raised by the church and are still church goers.

The average ra.ape case in South Africa (Christian dominated country) is one out of three women. An estimated of 500,000 ra.ape cases take place in the country, every year. South Africa estimate that a woman is raped every 26 seconds.

In the case of the Iranian woman, some posters say that the murder was a premeditated murder in cold blood, it happens everywhere In the world even more in western countries. America has the worst case of premeditated murders but the useless hypocrites on nairaland would not see those.

Seun the owner nairaland and his moderators are evil people who’s main objective in life is to smear the name of Muslims. Christians do all sorts of terrible things all around the world but these evil and Islamophobic owner of nairaland and his moderators will never bring it to front page. But let a Muslim do something, they rush and fall over themselves in bringing it to front page so that their ever ready and fellow anti Islamic bigots can start foaming at the mouth and say rubbish about Islam without even warning or banning all those people.

Nairaland is the official hate site for Islamophobic people and seun the owner is the worst.

As a personal advice: seun, you have too much bile and hate in you, better go and cure yourself of your diseases before it eats you up

Massachusetts: If you are under 18 years old, you will need a court order
from either a probate court or district
court in the locale where you live in
order to apply for a marriage license.

Another useless hypocrite who likes to bury his head in the sand like the proverbial ostrich.

immortalvoices:

Oh...really if I say what is on my mind it will seems blasphemy

If the koran made us to believe that Allah is a gentle God and compassionate God then why dis...

Feraz: If you can't enlighten me without insults, then don't bother quoting me. Just point out in my post where I insulted your religion or made a snide remark and I'll apologise. Even the person I quoted, I didn't insult her. So what's with the 'useless'?
I'm not going to return the favour by insulting you. I'm way above that.

numerical_guy:

If you don't know the facts of the case, why don't you keep shut like a reasonable person instead of saying rubbish like all the other ignorant anti Islamic bigots on this forum.

Feraz: When a Christian does evil, it is condemned openly. BTW, did you just pull out those statistics to suit your argument? You didn't bother completing it. It said with court order and parental consent.

most are pegged at 18. The other ones you see there are exceptions

Also answer my question directed above. Thanks.

BTW, I'm not here to castigate any religion.

Feraz: Do you know me from somewhere? Where have I insulted your religion? Which facts are you talking about? I quoted someone and pleaded she enlightened me which I don't think she has a problem with. You just came in and insulted me for my harmless opinion. Pray tell, do you have a problem with me?

Pls, don't bother quoting this moniker - feraz - if you have nothing important to tell me. I'm really holding myself from returning the favour. Thank you.

numerical_guy:

Apparently, you didn't read my post before quoting me. please go back and read the crimes of your fellow blood thirsty Christians.

Its either you are a liar or you just changed the American Marriage laws this morning.. google is your friend..

You are just a regular hypocrite like the rest of them. Iran pegs marriage for girls at 14 years and your kind starts foaming at the mouth and starts saying all sorts of rubbish, but you have now found out that US sets marriage for girls at 12 years , it then suddenly becomes an exception.

Hypocrites!!!

The age of marriage in USA varies by State, but is generally 18. There are,
however, two exceptions - Nebraska
(19) and Mississippi (21). Most states,
however, allow minors below 18 to
marry (generally they have to be at
least 16 but sometimes lower) with parental and/or judicial consent. Some
states allow female minors below 18
to marry without parental or judicial
consent, if she is pregnant.

shaggy007: The girl is a Muslim na...No be Islam again?

Terrorism runs in their blood...imagine a young girl shooting someone in the head when He's asleep (how heartless), and then burying the person (wtf??!!)...potential terrorist.

Well I don't blame her, this is what happens when you legalize child marriage.

Very useless religion.

Salym:

You must be very stupid for saying so. Why are you people so hell bent on painting Islam black. This forced young girls marriages have nothing to do with Islam as Islam condemns forced marriages. You people have failed to distinguish between Islamic injunctions and the cultures of people that greatly shape their ways of life. If such happens in non Muslim countries no one will connect it with their religion. The lynchings, rapes and murders that happen in your area, are the perpetrators of those Muslims? BLOODY HYPOCRITE!

simpleseyi:

You cannot abuse my religion and expect a hug from me except you want to hug a 33KVA electric transformer. Can you recollect that your holy Mary; mother of your god was just about 16 when she gave birth to your lord Jesus? Read your bible . This implies that a child-bride gave birth to your lord . Joseph's descendants should all be charged for a pedo-phile.

eagle,eye:

you are as useless, as useless can be.

delishpot:

Why that? Because she started her period prolly at that age and the prophet said when a girl starts menstruating she ahould be married so she started period at 8 or 11 and she was married out as soon as she started.
So you see why I said so?
