i am trying to locate one thread...in which two replies are very intellectual...which shuts the mouth of everyone...

i will try to post it soon...inshallah!

Here i ve quoted it:

In hot countries girls tend to reach their puberty earlier than others. This is well known fact. Even today, in Saudi or some other countries you can find 9-year old mothers with 2 children. The age to become a mother is designed, written, proposed and implemented by the very architect of our bodies, that's our Creator, although man-made laws would come up with superstitious impractical numbers.

The marriage of Prophet (s.a.w) to Aysha (r.anha) was decreed by Allah through inspirational dreams that the prophet saw. The dreams of the prophets are wahy', and wahy' is a divine command, similar to the command given to prophet Ibrahim (a.s) to slaughter his son Ismail (a.s). The fact that Aysha (r.anha) was young with a brilliant inquisitive mind and powerful memory, to later on convey all what she'd learned from her noble husband (s.a.w) in general, and in particular his intimate relations and behaviors within household, are to be count among some wisdom of this marriage.

Having said this, I don't deny or refuse to abide by the laws of the countries we reside in. These are two different things.

following on that suggestion that Nabi

would marry her and not consummate that marriage, precisely what age should the wife be when a husband can consummate the marriage without having to be answerable for it?

A more probing question would be, how do you think our Fiqh and Islamic rules would evolve for today, if we assume that Nabi

had not consummated the marriage? Do you think any madhab (School of thought) would allow consummating with a 9/10 year old female who is completely mature, able to bear children, desirous of relationship by token of being baligh. Afterall Rasulullah

did not, then it must be impermissible.

My point is, that Rasulullah

doing so also establishes a ruling of shariah, that consummation does not depend on age rather the ability of girl to consummate and bear children.

Another point to ponder, just something to tantalize those neurons. According to Western law normally age of consensual relation is 18. What makes 17 years and 364 days not eligible for the woman to make her private choice, and suddenly the birthday bells give her that ability?

You can also twist this matter into Islamic question. The surety of buloogh (maturity) is at the age of 15 lunar (14.5 solar) years. What makes her mature a moment after her 15th year? and not before then?
