It is amazing how in today's times young age of marriage is perceived to be immoral & illegal worldwide. However this is exactly what is required to resolve the epidemic of teenage pregnancy in the West!! May Allah reward you for sharing, and may Allah grant us the ability of logic & reason. Ameen.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[People were making conclusion about Prophet marriage at today period of 20th century. They do not think the Europe marriage of sixth century, where parts of Europe were in uncivilise war. It is estimated that the Plague of Justinian which began in 541 and recurred periodically for 150 years thereafter killed as many as 100 million people across the Europe.[9] Some historians such as Josiah C. Russell (1958) have suggested a total European population loss of 50 to 60 percent between 541 and 700. WHAT AGE OF MARRIAGE DO THEY HAVE AT THAT CENTURY.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Late marriage phenomenon is of recent origin and it has emanated from the life style of the Industrializati on together with advancement of education system. That’s why it is more of a western phenomenon where Industrializati on is widespread as compared to third world countries with agrarian economy. It has to be borne in mind that higher education and career options were not available even a few centuries ago. Therefore it was normal for young children to be wedded of at the attainment of puberty. Even as on date, in rural India some parents opt for such marriages – making engagement first and then after a few years cohabiting (though law does not permit). People with malevolent intentions raise this issue – there is no substance in it. Glory to the exalted, and most gracious God - Allah and may blessings and peace be upon the last and the most noble and the leader of the Prophets – Muhammed. Amen.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you for this article and facts on file about the age of consent in history and for recognising the importance of social norms in Islam. Unfortunately, in the Muslims communities where child marriage exists today, the example of Aisha ra is used as a reference point or a justification or as Sunnah to support this practice. Since the age of consent is not fixed in Shariah, 10 - 14 year old girls are forced, coerced and even sold into marriage - such actions are opposed to the laws of Islam, we KNOW. We are calling upon Muslims from around the globe, from all walks of life, to take part in a consensus (ijma) through which the age of age can be fixed at 16 years in Islamic Law and thus eliminating/pre venting the possibility of contracting underage marriages and taking advantage of minors. We are also calling upon the scholars/Islami c institiutions and individuals to join us in this endeavor by endorsing the petition. Join this consensus on facebook: facebook.com/ch ild.marriage or sign the petition: [censored]ipeti tions.com/petit ion/childbrides /]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Answer to Abdulaziz Kaisi: Refer to [censored]Qtafs ir.com ibn Kathir tafsir, surah An-Nisaa: (19. O you who believe! You are not permitted to inherit women against their will, nor to prevent them from marriage in order to get part of (the dowry) what you have given them, unless they commit open Fahishah. And live with them honorably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allah brings through it a great deal of good.) (20. But if you intend to replace a wife by another and you have given one of them a Qintar, take not the least bit of it back; would you take it wrongfully without a right and (with) a manifest sin) (21. And how could you take it (back) while you have gone in unto each other, and they have taken from you a firm and strong covenant) (22. And marry not women whom your fathers married, except what has already passed; indeed it was shameful and Maqtan, and an evil way.)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So it is true that women have married at ages younger than 9 in the past, without their consent, and when still not capable of conceiving. _Aisha (radhi Allah-u anha) however had reached puberty at 9, her consent was taken, and most important of all, she loved her husband. Isn\'t her opinion of the marriage what really counts?_We know she was an outspoken, clever, opinionated young girl, yet in the hadiths she related we see how much she genuinely loved Prophet Muhammad (sal Allah-u alaihi wa sallam). In fact, she was proud of being the Prophet\'s favourite wife. She was also jealous of his love for his other wives. Isn\'t this enough proof of how much she loved him and had no care for the age difference? _One evidence of her love is when Prophet Muhammad (sal Allah-u alaihi wa sallam) gave his wives the option of divorce or to stay with him. What did Aisha (radhi Allah-u anha) choose? She was older then, more clever and knowledgable, and she chose to stay with him. So there\'s really]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The time when my grandparents were small - i think in 1920s - it was common practice for girls to get married at 9 years old. The would be ashamed if they hadn't got married at that age. Even, it is still a common practice in some regions. Secondly, when we talk about marriage, it's about a formal bond of man and woman. In early time, girl and boy wouldn't have a [censored] intercourse unless they had got married. But, nowadays particularly in west cultures, boys and girls can have [censored] intercourse without getting married first. Marriage and [censored] inercourse are separated.]]></description>

History of the world in genral is so valuable, as seen in this article. It helps people clear the fog and remember that as people change and time elapses, so do peoples customs. And, in actuality the west have no right to try and make an issue of this; theres just to many double standards. For examlpe, if an issue is related to something in 'their' history, its all fine and they understand...Bu t, as soon as that same issue is attached to islam, then suddenly it is unacceptable. Just Plain Ridiculous!]]></description>
