Paedophilia - Underage Marriages of Girls

Inserting one's own interpretation and ideas from personal prejudices and whims into verses are common doings of people who read the Qur'an with a twisted and insincere objective. Many text-books are filled with such interpretations. In this article, we are concerned with a verse in Surah At-Talaq, which is used by traditional groups to propagate the claim that the Qur'an endorses child marriages (marriages of girls who are below the age of puberty), and the "husbands" right to have sexual intercourse with her. Their stance has become a particular point of attack for anti-Islamic writers. Translations have also emerged that are either intentionally, or un-intentionally inconsistent with the Arabic grammar of the verse, and these attempts have become a further point of attack by Anti-Islamic writers.

وَاللائِي يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ مِنْ نِسَائِكُمْ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَاللائِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ وَأُولاتُ الأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ يُسْرًا

"And those among your women who despair of menstruation, if you have any doubt, their appointed (waiting) time is three months, and (same) for those who did not menstruate. As for those who are pregnant, their term shall be when they have given birth. Whoever is mindful of Allah, He will make his matters easy for him." (Qur'an 65:4)

The deviated at heart strike the controversy using the term "and those who did not menstruate" - ( وَاللائِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ - wallaa-ee lam yahidna).

Traditional writers use this part of the verse to mean those who did not menstruate yet. The critical word here, not found in the original Qur'an is "yet". By this interpretation, it would mean this part of the verse is in reference to girls who have not started menstruation, and therefore, are still below the age of puberty. And since the verse is discussing the process of divorce for them, it must be approving of their marriages. They then propagate that child [forced] marriages of daughters are valid and pious deeds committed by the father. They state explicitly that sexual intercourses with prepubescent girls, by their alleged adult "husbands" is endorsed by Allah in the Qur'an! Therefore, they seek to authorise paedophilia using the Book of Allah. Also, such scenarios are by default rapes of children, since children are not developed in sexual awareness and their teachings involves sexual imposition of a man upon a child girl who subsequently surrenders under the circumstances. The traditionalists connect the child bride with their relentless teachings of a wife's obligation to obey and surrender to the sexual whims of her husband, which only worsens the sexual exploitation and abuse of children. The mindset of these people have been diagnosed in the Qur'an:

"When they commit an indecent act (Fahish / فَاحِشَة), they say, "We found our fathers doing it and Allah commanded us to do it too." Say: "Allah does not command indecency (fahshaa / فَحْشَاء), or do you say things about Allah you do not know?" (Qur'an, 7:28)

When these people read the Qur'an, they always seek to find ways to validate their extra-Quranic writings and ideas of revered men using the Qur'an, as with many other lewd ideas they try to validate, such as sex with concubines. When a person freed of their prejudices listens to the original Arabic Qur'an recited to him, or reads it in the written form, he or she interprets it naturally as intended by Allah. There is no room for confusion in this verse.

The Quran does not specify the age of marriage; however, it stresses maturity and mutual consent.
Why does the mullah in the first video keep telling that it's an agenda of the West and secularism? What secularism has to do with it?
I believe the minimum age of 18 for marriage is reasonable.

Of course it is against the version of Islam majority of the Muslims follow. From their most sacred book ( after the Quran as they like to say )
Narrated `Aisha:
that the Prophet (ﷺ) married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham said: I have been informed that `Aisha remained with the Prophet (ﷺ) for nine years (i.e. till his death).
Sahih al-Bukhari 5134, Book 67, Hadith 70
Graded SAHIH

Now no one come and tell me this is a fake hadith, dhaif hadith etc etc It is in the "most authentic book after the Quran" and if you go pick up a copy which came off fresh off the printing press 1 minute ago, it will say exactly the same thing and will also be graded sahih.

Only talk when you have managed to expunge this hadith from Bukhari or at the very least changed its rating from sahih to fabricated

Otherwise accept that this bill is against the Islam you follow

Who cares about any of that, hadith says it as quoted above, end of story, finish, khalas! And if you even have a doubt about that hadith, then you are a kaffir! As stated by Moulana Sheikh Asim Al Hakeem

The issue is that some individuals who identify themselves as Muslims believe in the Quran and Ahadith, yet are unaware of their actual content.

Should early marriages not be banned to control the high population growth rate
What has that got to do with population control? Early marriages were never allowed in China yet they managed to become the most populous nation in the world at one time, now in 2nd place
