Re: Saudis rethinking on Tribal traditions of child marriage
look, I agree with Islamic ruling where the best age of marriage is at puberty. I will no way by any means refute this ruling. I also believe its the best system. However, 99.9999999999999888888% of the time, a 9 year old girl WILL NOT CONSENSUALLY AGREE TO MARRIAGE WITH A 30 YEAR OLD LET ALONE HAVING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE.
At the end of the day, the final decision should always be with the girl. If she is incapable of making such a decision then she is therefore physiologically unable to commit to the marriage. If the marriage has gone forward one has to assume that someone has taken advantage of the girl.
