I will be digging in very deep into the topic to show you exactly how child marriage is addressed in the quran as well as in sharia law , this will be a fairly wrong thread . Kindly read the entire thread

The topic that i have mentioned won't be complete without a brief mention of aisha's controversial marriage with prophet muhammad .
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
Many muslim apologetics says that Aisha's age was not 9 when she married muhammad .To them I say that they are right because aisha was 6 when she was married and the authentic hadits says she was 9 when she lost her virginity
Ref: sahih bukhari , book 67 , hadith 69— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
Now muslim apologetics say that this number is false because if we will take a look at other hadiths alongside number of assumptions and calculations we can see her significantly older . But my point is that none of the other hadiths cite her age . Some of them are not authentic
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
The other i want to ask apologetics is that why do they deny the SAHIH HADITHS , where aisha herself states her age as 9 .

Some muslims says that aisha was very mature of her age even when she was 9 . But in authentic hadiths aisha herself states that she was not mature and used to play with dolls when prophet married her

Now from here muslims starts to compare Islam with other religions they say thatvchild marriage was also in other religions .
(Eg : king john of england ) .
But this attempt is futile because muhammad was supposed to be the perfect human— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
So far i have dealt with aisha's marriage to muhammad . Lets see what quran says on this verse .
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
Divorce is lawful and is regulated fairly claearly in the Quran . If a women gets divorce before intercourse has taken place . She can get married again immediately and doesn't have to sit out a waiting period offered to as IDDA in arabic
Ref : surat al azhab verse 49 pic.twitter.com/o4TcxNjd1v— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
As for women who had vaginal intercourse during that marriage & were divorcee surat al baqra verse 228 states that they need to wait for 3 menstrual cycles pic.twitter.com/yt43St8l91
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
Quran claims no waiting period for women if she never had an intercourse but waiting period of 3 menstrual cycles if they had intercourse
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
This caused a problem for arabs , who knew that this waiting applies to menstruating womens only . So they went back to ask muhammad what the waiting period would be for those who aren't menstruating . Namely young girls , old women and pregnant women

REF : Detailed in several places such as Asab-al-nuzul , the islamic text which describes the context behind quranic verses . Also mentioned in quran 65:4 pic.twitter.com/FWVoojJPAM

One of the most respected commentaries its crystal clear on what this verse means . Take a look at now on jalalayn and tanwir al miqbas commenatry pic.twitter.com/r1UdqsEvA2
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
So we can clearly see that the question that was asked to muhammad at that time was :
''What about those who are too young to have menstrual cycles ?''
The other major exegesis are ibn kathir and al tabari who are both very clear that this is refering to girls— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
at a young age ,and not to the girls who have reached their late teens without menstruating . Al tabari says this is an reference to young girls who have been divorced by their husbands after intercourse . With ibn kathir , he quotes a companion of muhammad asking him about
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
the waiting period for young girls , old women and pregnant women and muhammad revealed this verse . Quran 65:4 clearly states that there is no minimum age for marriage in islam . And even girls who haven't reached puberty can be married .
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
Some apologists have recently tried to ignore this verse altogether and quote another verse to claim that the quran forbids the marriage of children . They use this verse in surat al nisa to make this calim pic.twitter.com/dvkqU7XTq8
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
The word used her for puberty can also be translated as marriageable age . But the verse is clearly talking about the ideal time when a guardian can hand over the property and money of an orphan back , it is not refering to marriage itself , only hiw to deal with orphans
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
regarding their property . Let us now loom at the major commenatroes about this verse in its proper context which is handling the property of orphan and they also say that these verse is refering to orphan boys specifically who have hit puberty
Ibn Kathir says : pic.twitter.com/kwTOKyHoKB
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
Majority of the scholars say that puberty is reached through a wet dream .
Al tabari says : Test the orphan in his opinion and his mindset . Once the guardian know he is mature , his property is handed over to him , but only after puberty pic.twitter.com/AKNtpxlUQP— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
Both commentaries are clealry showing that the verse isn't related to marriage and not setting a minimum age of marriage at all .
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
Lets now take an honest assessment of what islamic laws often known as sharia law actually say regards to child marriage . I need to explain 2 points here so that the rest of this thread makes sense :
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
1) Islamic law in this day and age is primarily determined by 5 major schools of thought which are responsible for the jurisprudence of the vast majority of today's muslim
Sunni : hanafi , hanabali , shafi , maliki
Shia : jaafari— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
Nearly all muslims today belong to one of the schools of thought
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
2) According to sharia lawa " everything is halal(permissible) , unless explictly forbidden ".
In arabic this is refered to as the well know law of jurisprudence AL-ASLU FYLASHEEA AL EEBAHA
this means everything is allowed in islam unless there is a quranic verse or authentic— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
Hadith clearly banning it
Ref: mentioned in the commentary for main stream islam's second holiest text Vol 17 ; Fath Ul – Bukhari , page 28 pic.twitter.com/mbjdPErous— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
It states : Matters are lawful by default only when sharia explicitly states that it is not lawful .
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
If any muslim wants to claim (even moderate ones like @DrRizwanAhmed1 @RubikaLiyaquat @TheSamirAbbas @TarekFatah @Imamofpeace ) claim that marrying a girl who is yet to reach puberty is forbidden , then you need to provide evidence . And frankly you'd be contradicting quran 65:4
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
Lets now take a look at wheteher there is a minimum age of marriage in sharia
Ref : Fath al bari an exegesis of sahih bukhari , vol . 11 pic.twitter.com/wIqBDNhYBy— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
It says muslim schools of jurisprudence unaminously allowed the marriage of young girls , even if they were still babies in cradle . But intervourse can't occur until girl withstands penetration . pic.twitter.com/seSViKHblo
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
This clearly tells us that a muslim can marry a baby girl within sharia law . This rule is universal for the four sunni schools of thought .
Note: barring intercourse all typles of sexual pleasure can take place with girl even babies .— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
Iran's ayatollah khomeini spouts this out very clearly in his book TAHRIR AL WASILAH .
VOL 2 PAGE 216 states : "that a man can carry out all the secual oleasures he desires on his bride . Even if she is a baby . He is entitled to thigh her , even grope her pic.twitter.com/L1yQfJrgkO— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
But they can't have sex until she is 9 a/c to shia islam .

Now i will discuss about the time the girl can withstand intercourse .
Ref: SAHIH AL MUSLIM CALLEE SHARAB MUSLIM VOL 3 , PAGE 577 pic.twitter.com/1nI8FQrCIw— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
Here we can see thaf all the sunni school of thought agree that if the girl's father and husband both agree that the girl is ready for intervourse , the man can have intercourse with her regardless of her age . The girl has no consent here
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
According to ahmed (hanabali) if they don't agree she is forced to join her husband at 9 years . This is pure rape . Scholars however have said in Radul muthar , vol 5 page 283 the following pic.twitter.com/rCoSGuEb7d
— Abdul Qasim (@AbdulQa89632919) July 22, 2019
It says intercourse is not limited to any age . For example a fat young girl can withstand penetration at a very young age . So to sum up the five major schools of sharia in islam agree that there is no minimum age for marriage whatsoever . And a girl can be married off the

Day she is born . All types of sexual pleasures including thighing , handjobs , blowjobs , frenchkissing etc are allowed with girls as young as babies
