QUESTION: What is the minimum marriageable age of a little girl according to Islam?

In some Sharia governed countries, they legislate new legal regulations to reduce the marriage age limit to 9 years old. Is it allowed to marry with a little girl in 9 years old ? ANSWER: Infants or young children could not be married. It is not enough to reach the age of puberty for marriage, age of majority is also needed. There could be different age limitations because of the majority may vary regionally, but a child who is 9 years old would not be in age of majority. In the 6th verse of Surah An-Nisa, the Glorified Allah commands: Test the orphans until they reach marriageable age. Then if you perceive in them sound judgement, release their property to them. Do not consume their property excessively and quickly, that they will grow up and take it back. And (the guardian) who is rich should behave honestly (by not spending their wealth); and who is poor should eat only as much as is fair. Then when you release their property to them, bring witnesses upon them. Allah is sufficient to call to account. (An-Nisa/ The Women 4:6) Additionally, the people who have enough knowledge to evaluate 2nd and 3rd verses of Surah An-Nisa together with the verse mentioned above will realize that the age of majority is also needed for marriage. According to this verse, the age named as marriage age states age of majority in our religion. Age of majority period, starts by passing to the age of puberty but can vary for everyone. For example; the person A may have entered the age of puberty, with the same time age of majority but the person B may have not entered age of majority although a few years had passed from the age of puberty. The parents or guardian will decide whether the person enters the marriageable age or not. Therefore our religion declares that it is not allowed to marry without the permission of guardian and also declares null and void these kinds of marriages. Suleymaniye Foundation, Turkey
