@khoji

Are you saying that marrying early should not be allowed in Islam?
How can you forbid something which has not been forbidden by Allah or Prophet? Isn’t it the very definition of bidat?

You may or may not agree but there are many Muslims who marry young girls the age of their grand daughters, only on this basis.

For all the women supporting marriage in infancy or childhood, I wish YOU were married in your infancy or childhood.

Afghanistan: Marriage Practice Victimizes Young Girls, Society

So young are some girls, Mosleh says, that they hold onto their toys during the wedding ceremony. And they usually become mothers in their early teens, while they are still children themselves.

“When we speak with girls who married very young, they usually say, 'It feels like we didn’t have a life, we didn’t have childhood,'” Mosleh says. “These girls don’t even remember their wedding day because they were so young. They say, ‘We had a wedding, but we didn’t even understand what the ceremony meant.’”

…

Badriya Hassas, a gynecologist in Rabiya Balkhi Hospital in Kabul, says that shortly after being married, many young girls are admitted to hospital in a state of shock from serious physical injuries and psychological trauma. “Some of these girls suffer irreversible physical damage,” Hassas tells RFE/RL. “They suffer from tearing and extensive bleeding. Besides, they usually come to hospital too late – after massive bleeding, and in a state of shock. We have personally seen many such cases.”

Peace khoji

I am saying that we are responsible to find suitable mates - those who like each other and are happy to be with one another as well as be a source of guidance and betterment for one another. The marriage of Aisha (RA) turned her in to scholar of Islam and mother of the believers …

Why are you pasting these pictures? I’m not advocating child marriage … I am however advocating the marriage of Aisha (RA) with RasoolAllah (SAW) …

Is this a bid’a? No … As I said earlier there are some things that the prophet (SAW) did, he neither prevented us from doing nor instructed us … and just because something was done by RasoolAllah (SAW) it is not automatically classified as a mandoub (praiseworthy) act for us to emulate.

In the matter of marriage we should use a lot of discretion with the hadith of Aisha (RA) - we must understand that the clause of the hadith is stressing the permissibility to delay consumation after nikkah … not about getting married early.
