Majazi Khuda.
Sara516 mentioned emotional compatibility. You were too quick to dismiss her.
Had you given it further thought, you would have seen that the point was a child of 13 is not fully emotionally developed. Sex is not just a physical act, it also has emotional and psychological consequences which children of that age are ill equipped to handle. Why else do you think teenagers suffer so much through puberty?
Just because something can be done, does not mean it should be done.

a 13 year old can physically perform almost every other task. In 3rd world countries, a 13 years old male is a full fledged labor, farmer, fisherman and all. Its us as a society who assumed that 13 years old is not emotionally mature, and because we treat them as kids, they act as kids. Otherwise there is no medical proof that a 13 years old is not as responsible as 18 years old.

OK, let’s talk about Allah’s law, and nature’s law.

Geting married is highly recommended, getting married early is also. Now along with marriage comes responsibility, right? A woman must maintain her home, nurture her children, the man should take care of his family and protect them. Allah has also given us aqal. Now you tell me, can a 13 year old do all that?

And that is what I said. Its all economics that drive the need of our adulthood age limit. Those societies that live humble lifestyle (basic food and shelter), not only 13 years old kids get married but live a very happy life.
