“Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this” — Ishaq Akintola, professor of Islamic Eschatology and Director of Muslim Rights Concern, Nigeria
“There is no minimum marriage age for either men or women in Islamic law. The law in many countries permits girls to marry only from the age of 18. This is arbitrary legislation, not Islamic law.” — Dr. Abd Al-Hamid Al-‘Ubeidi, Iraqi expert on Islamic law
There is no minimum age for marriage and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.” — Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council
“Islam does not forbid marriage of young children.” — Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology
Few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage:
“The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (Bukhari 7.62.88).
Another tradition has Aisha herself recount the scene:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, “Best wishes and Allah’s Blessing and a good luck.” Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age. (Bukhari 5.58.234).
Muhammad was at this time fifty-four years old.
Marrying young girls was not all that unusual for its time, but because in Islam Muhammad is the supreme example of conduct (cf. Qur’an 33:21), he is considered exemplary in this unto today. And so in April 2011, the Bangladesh Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini declared that those trying to pass a law banning child marriage in that country were putting Muhammad in a bad light: “Banning child marriage will cause challenging the marriage of the holy prophet of Islam, [putting] the moral character of the prophet into controversy and challenge.” He added a threat: “Islam permits child marriage and it will not be tolerated if any ruler will ever try to touch this issue in the name of giving more rights to women.” The Mufti said that 200,000 jihadists were ready to sacrifice their lives for any law restricting child marriage.
Likewise the influential website Islamonline.com in December 2010 justified child marriage by invoking not only Muhammad’s example, but the Qur’an as well:
The Noble Qur’an has also mentioned the waiting period [i.e. for a divorced wife to remarry] for the wife who has not yet menstruated, saying: “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” [Qur’an 65:4]. Since this is not negated later, we can take from this verse that it is permissible to have sexual intercourse with a prepubescent girl. The Qur’an is not like the books of jurisprudence which mention what the implications of things are, even if they are prohibited. It is true that the prophet entered into a marriage contract with A’isha when she was six years old, however he did not have sex with her until she was nine years old, according to al-Bukhari.
Other countries make Muhammad’s example the basis of their laws regarding the legal marriageable age for girls. Article 1041 of the Civil Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran states that girls can be engaged before the age of nine, and married at nine: “Marriage before puberty (nine full lunar years for girls) is prohibited. Marriage contracted before reaching puberty with the permission of the guardian is valid provided that the interests of the ward are duly observed.”
According to Amir Taheri in The Spirit of Allah: Khomeini and the Islamic Revolution (pp. 90-91), Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini himself married a ten-year-old girl when he was twenty-eight. Khomeini called marriage to a prepubescent girl “a divine blessing,” and advised the faithful to give their own daughters away accordingly: “Do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house.” When he took power in Iran, he lowered the legal marriageable age of girls to nine, in accord with Muhammad’s example.
“Police arrest culprits after 5-year-old girl married to 22-year-old man near Shikarpur,” by Hanif Samoon, Dawn, July 22, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A five-year-old girl was on Saturday married off to a 22-year-old man at village Raman Shar in the outskirts of Dakhan Town, some 40 kilometres from Shikarpur, before police intervened to arrest key individuals involved, local police said.
According to an official, a special police party headed by SHO Khuda Bakhsh Panhwar raided the ceremony and succeeded in arresting the nikkah khwan, Molvi Kifayatullah Bhutto, 40, the ‘groom’, Habibullah Shar, and the father of the groom, Gul Meer. The police also took the five-year-old bride, the daughter of Zameer Shar, into custody along with her mother.
According to police sources, the marriage had been solemnised before police reached the place….
Jim Conch says
The best you can say is that people are sick, sick sick. So this is the result of in breeding, eh. What else can you say?
manat bint allaha says
good point, i was wondering myself if the bride and groom are first cousins.
Terry says
Probably uncle/niece;
Lucia Bartoli says
We can add that their god is Ba’al, aka Molloch, and that they are vile creatures who not walk but slither. They live in dark places and seek refuge in the hearts and souls of humans. They are willling accomplices of their god.
epistemology says
You’re right about inbreeding, but that isn’t the only problem. As Robert explained and as we all know muzzies think a pedophile monster, a sociopath and pervert to the power of 10 is the best of all humans. Furthermore they want to teach as morals we Westerners are decadent, girls wear mini skirts, no wonder they get raped.
Islam is a crime against humanity, when will our elites ever learn?
Terry says
epist– last part of your last sentence.
PERHAPS–BUT ONLY PERHAPS- the elites will learn when they, their children their spouse; and other family members are raped and/or killed.
Then again, perhaps not.
Recall the German official whose daughter worked helping refugees, and was raped and killed by one. He donated money TO HELP REFUGEES GET SETTLED IN GERMANY.
epistemology says
Crazy, but the Germans are the ones who definitely draw the wrong conclusions from their past. Instead of supporting Israel wherever they can, they’re involved in BDS and lament about the victims of the victims. Utterly stupid, there are no victims of the victims. For a country under permanent threat Israel has the best human rights record.
Don Foss says
No worries. The Western Feminists and Women’s Rights organizations will be all over this…right after they settle the horrible atrocity of Trump calling Rosie a cow.
Terry says
Meped-I agree- but the liberals and progressives and their friends,, the elites and academics, will be all over everyone.
LOOK AT THE ISSUES–AND TRUMP IS USING THE TAW AND OBAMA’S LIST OF COUNTRIES.
AND THE FNM (FAKE NEWS MEDIA) ARE TALKING ABOUT TRUMP AND RUSSIA; AND IF TRUMP’S FAMILY—BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
WHO THE EFF KEPT CLINTON FROM GOING TO MICHIGAN ( AND WHO, IN DETROIT, SAID-USE THE SYRIAN REFUGEES TO REBUILD DETROIT? WHILE BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT AND POVERTY WAS IN DOUBLE DIGITS. HINT-NOBODY IN THE TRAMP CAMPAIGN, OR ADMINISTRATION OR ORGANIZATION). (William Jefferson (aka Bill) Clinton-answer.
Back, the Russians did not keep HRC campaigning in Arizona and Kansas, and not Wisc. etc.
But, the fake news and the intellectuals and their campaigns against Trump- and they cannot accept that they lost- are keeping the nation at risk.
Terry says
I did not hear that Trump called Rosie O’Donnell a cow.
PERSONALLY, I FIND THAT VERY INSULTING.
COWS ARE VERY USEFUL ANIMALS. There are dairy cows- that give us milk-from which we make many useful foods; and their are beef cows- that give us good meat.
PRES. TRUMP HAD NO RIGHT TO INSULT COWS, BY CALLING ROSIE O’DONNELL ONE.
Pres. trump SHOULD PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE TO ALL OF THE COWS OF THIS COUNTRY. (or, at the least, those cows in this country whose citizens showed intelligence and voted for him-like Texas, Wisc., FL., etc)

Terry says
This happened in Pakistan- seemingly almost normal there.
But, if the Dems and progressives have their way, coming to the US soon.
Note, the Dems are thinking of running a young Muslim for Gov. of Michigan, TO POSSIBLY GROOM HIM TO RUN IN 2020 FOR PRESIDENT.
And our anal pore Congress is worried about who spoke to Russians.
I WOULD BET THE RUSSIANS WERE HOPING FOR A CLINTON WIN– THEY ALREADY KNEW THAT SHE COULD BE BOUGHT. (See, uranium deal, where Russia got some 20% of the US stockpile).

Lighten up Islamophobes he’ll probably wait several weeks to consummate the “marriage,” and he probably paid good money for her.

As Muhammad did he could “thigh” her in the interim.
John A. Marre says
The problem is that “civilized” countries willingly allow Muslims to do this. That is being done with full knowledge of the fact that it will lead to the downfall of those “civilized” countries.

cheryl s. says
The final sentence, “According to police sources, the marriage had been solemnised before the police reach the house.”
What does “SOLEMNISED” mean?”
Does it mean, that they were already married or, that they already had intercourse?
Despite marriage to a very young child being sanctioned according to their supreme role mode, the pedophile, mohammad, it is inarguably the rape of an innocent child and is ALWAYS wrong!
This vile act is the theft of innocence and worthy of execution.
Terry says
I was going to ask that same question. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT SOLEMNIZED means?
M says
“Solemn vows” Give you a clue?
Terry says
Is a 5 year old – ANY FIVE YEAR OLD– able to know what a SOLEMN VOW IS?
Then again, with Muslims, could be SODOMIZED.
gravenimage says
Yes–it means this “marriage” was performed by an Iman, and cannot be reversed. *Ugh*.
Mo says
This is so appalling. What’s worse is an entire culture that thinks this is okay, and a legal system that allows for such “marriages”. Imagine a culture like this, where such things are simply accepted as the way things are? I cannot fathom such a thing.
How can any parent who has a little girl think this is okay?
Beyond sick.
Joe says
In one case of child marriage that I saw in in documentary, a 5 yo was married to her great uncle who was past 60. The sister of the bride said that the bride had been crying and crying since the marriage which was 2 years ago.
Guest says
Disgusting
Guy Macher says
We are well beyond the stage where talking will solve the Muslim problem that we have in the West.
davej says
Islam is the Religion of Taking Advantage of Others. Murder and steal from the infidels, demand special privileges for themselves, rape and enslave women – even in their own tribes. Marrying a 5 year old is pedophilia, plain and simple. At least the police arrived – this time.
gravenimage says
Spot on, Dave.
moeped says
We can’t continue to police the world. F*uck them and f*uck what they do. Just stop bringing them to the West and putting our own children at risk.
We need to change our policies yesterday.
Anne Smith says
Agree Moeped. We cannot police the whole world nor can we afford to. Our taxpayers are being heavily fleeced and the Government is borrowing year on year to fund Foreign Aid to enable backward countries like this to carry on as they want to.
Time to pull up the drawbridge. Keep them and their customs away from our own countries and do our own thing. Unfortunately in UK we not only have a colonial heritage which has made if very difficult to deny entry to people from our former colonial countries, such as Pakistan and Bangladesh, but we have innumerable do-gooders who clamour to let in the world’s dross as they think they are wonderful cultural enrichers.
Yoda Dunbar says
This is sickening, and yet, we are seeing in Western Nations, they want to legalize this, insanity has taken control, evil is in the house
Bill McKenzie says
First the Qruan tells us that there is no “Iddah” or “Waiting period” for a virgin wife who’s husband dies or who has been divorced and who has never had intercourse, ie is still a virgin, before she can be remarried:
Quran 33:49 Tafsir:
“O you who believe! When you marry believing women, and then divorce them before you have sexual intercourse with them, no `Iddah, [waiting period before remarraige], have you to count in respect of them. So, give them a present, and set them free in a handsome manner.”
http://www.qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1841&Itemid=89#1
Later, Mohammad was ASKED to clarify the waiting periods for post menopausal widdows/divorcees and the very young who are non-virgins:
Quran 65:4 Tafsir:
Allah the Exalted clarifies the waiting period of the woman in menopause. And that is the one whose menstruation has stopped due to her older age. Her `Iddah, [waiting period before remarriage], is three months instead of the three monthly cycles for those who menstruate, which is based upon the Ayah in (Surat) Al-Baqarah. ?see 2:228? The same for the young, who have not reached the years of menstruation.
http://qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1316&Itemid=121
Waiting periods only apply to non-virgins.
Additionally, we know that Mohammad married Aisha at 6 and then raped her at age 9, but what did he do with her between the ages of 6 and 9? The Sunnah has the answer for this as well:
SAHIH BUKHARI Volume 7, Number 17: Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah: When I got married, Allah’s Apostle said to me, “What type of lady have you married?” I replied, “I have married a matron’ He said, “Why, don’t you have a liking for the virgins and for fondling them?” Jabir also said: Allah’s Apostle said, “Why didn’t you marry a young girl so that you might play with her and she with you?’
The word for “fondle” is “mufakathat” or “mufaakhathah”, which in Arabic means rubbing the male organ between the legs.
According to Arab womens rights activist Ghada Jamsheer, little girls, even as young as babys, are still being legally raped and molested, based on Mohammads teaching, in both Sunni and Shia Islam where it is legal for Imams to enter them into “temporary marriages”, (mut’ah and misyar marriages), so they can abused repeatedly. They are also being trafficked from places like India, Cambodia and the Philippines.

Ghada Jamsheer is now imprisoned – watch her video on the subject where she talks about the common practice if thighing little girls, even infants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKpywuGSNFg
Carolyne says
“Thighing” is common practice among depraved Muslim men. It makes me so angry to even think abut it that I would like to castrate them all. If only one Arab had had two brain cells to rub together, he would have known that Muhammed (Pig sh*t be upon him) was depraved and insane and not follow him into his morass of evil.
Lori says
Great! Another young girl to be raped to death by an insane imbecile!
Carolyne says
The Ayatollah Khomeini, when Jimmy Carter returned him to Iran, married a 12 year old. He said that having sex with a prepubescent girl is a divine blessing. He also said that fathers should make sure their daughters leave their home before they have a menstrual period.
This man, of course, was mentally ill and a pedophile. Yet he is revered as the father of modern Iran. Muslims seem to have no morals or human feeling. The young girl subjected to such physical abuse must suffer great pain as her body is not yet mature enough for intercourse.Of course, Muslim men do not care if they cause pain to children. They revel in it.
PaulM says
Carolyne: I do not know if you have read the Koran or not. Maybe you wouldn’t want to anyway. It is such a literally depraved, sick, evil, satanic, corrupt piece of shit. Words in any language, cannot sufficiently describe the festering, pus ridden scabrous infectious disease that is this cult. I know the definition of a Cult presupposes that it is a small religious group i.e.: “a small religious group that is not part of a larger and more accepted religion and that has beliefs regarded by many people as extreme or dangerous.” Which makes Islam and Muslims even more bizarre and downright evil. To think that 1.2(?) billion of these perverts are out there. And condoning supporting and defending the abuse of these little girls and you ladies. Not to mention the other tortures and abuses that this sick publication commands their brain dead followers to do.
Terry says
The Muslims sent used women to the Danish Virgin islands to be recycled.
