The morality behind child marriage

Recommended Posts

Johnny B   

Islam and Muslims are having difficulties moving forward significantly regarding their child marriage morality,it goes without saying that least helps Islamic communities garner much sympathy from non-Moslims around the world.

 

Today almost all muslim communities TOLERATE or more or less CONDONE child marriages,

How can one justify that?!

 

Although the despicable child marriage culture can not be soley attributed to Islam, one has to be dishonest to overlook the Islamic role in it.

Those (many) Muslims who defend this barbaric practice do so with Islam at heart,and consider themselves sincere believers.

 

The practice is readily defended by referencing the 'Sunnah' of Muhammad.

The prophet himself married a little girl ( Aisha ) when she was just nine and "consummated" the marriage a couple of years later, and that fact alone seems to trouble many Muslims to be able to look critically at it, and there we've the birth of a tacit tolerance of a despicable practice in Muslim communities.

 

Today , most Muslims are unable to state unambiguously that child marriage is immoral,without facing 'Takfeeri' assults from the Community or having their inner morale-compass twisted.

 

Your take !!

Define childhood..

 

That being said, Islam and Muslims don't measure themselves through YOUR moral compass, sweetheart. Get over yourself already!

^It's unfortunate that one (despite his/her knowledge of what childhood is) apologetically chooses to delete (obliterate if you like ) the physiological,psychological and social bounderies between childhood and adulthood,displaying such combustion and coarse willingness to just consider every menstruating baby-girl of 9,10,.....15 years old an adult.

 

Marriage is a Social contract between two equally mutually interested individuals. No?
