Does 65:4 allow for prepubescent contractual marriage?
- Just like Rebekah’s marriage contract with Issac in the Bible at only 3 years old (Genesis 24), and numerous other historic examples (see below) this is allowed in Islam.
  - Isabella of Valois (age 6) – Married King Richard II of England (age 29) in 1396; the marriage was political and never consummated.
  - Mary, Queen of Scots (age 5) – Contracted to marry the Dauphin of France; formal betrothal at age 5, marriage at 15.
  - Anne de Mowbray (age 5) – Married Richard, Duke of York (age 4), son of Edward IV of England, in 1478.
  - Emperor Honorius of Rome (age 10) – Married Maria, daughter of Stilicho, at around age 10 in 398 AD.
  - Agnes of France (age 8–9) – Married Emperor Alexios II Komnenos of Byzantium in 1180.
  - Isabella II of Jerusalem (age 11) – Married Conrad of Montferrat in 1190, and later Henry of Champagne.
  - Helena (age 10) – Daughter of Ivan IV (Ivan the Terrible); married Prince Gustav of Sweden around age 10 in the mid-1500s

Does 65:4 allow for prepubescent sex?
- No, the verse provides a legal regulation for existing cases of a historical societal norm where "social and physical maturity", rather than chronological maturity, was sometimes considered sufficient for sex. The verse is neither a moral endorsement nor an encouragement of prepubescent sex. This societal norm was practiced based on the outlined principle of “No Harming Nor Reciprocating Harm” (al-Sunan al-Kubrá lil-Bayhaqī 11384 Grade: Hasan (fair) according to Al-Albani).
- Social maturing would absolutely not be acceptable or logical in our times due to the complexity of modern life and the laws of the land which rely mainly on “chronological maturity”.
- The Bible is what allows for prepubescent sex, as stated in Numbers 31:17–18 where God commands the Israelites to simply keep girls for themselves without mentioning marriage!!
- The prophet (pbuh) himself only consummated his marriage with Aisha RA. after she reached puberty.
- The consensus of the Muslim scholars agree that consummation should only happen after puberty.

Isn’t 65:4 a dogmatic permit for Pedophilia?
- Pedophilia is harmful to children. Islam has a rule against causing harm to others: Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The prophet (pbuh), said, “Do not cause harm or return harm. Whoever harms others, Allah will harm him. Whoever is harsh with others, Allah will be harsh with him.” (al-Sunan al-Kubrá lil-Bayhaqī 11384 Grade: Hasan (fair) according to Al-Albani)
- When the Quran (revealed 1400 years ago) refers to the historically prevalent concept of “ biological or social maturity” (as opposed to chronological maturity), it's not mandating or prescribing it, it simply refers to the circumstantial social norms of those pre-modern eras that would absolutely not be acceptable or logical in our times due to the complexity of life and laws of the land.
- Historically, underage marriage was not strange or out of the ordinary let alone regarded as pedophilia (a term coined only 139 years ago). It is a historical fact that girls from the ages of 6 to 14 were married off all across the world. Examples:
  - Isabella of Valois (age 6) – Married King Richard II of England (age 29) in 1396; the marriage was political and never consummated.
  - Mary, Queen of Scots (age 5) – Contracted to marry the Dauphin of France; formal betrothal at age 5, marriage at 15.
  - Anne de Mowbray (age 5) – Married Richard, Duke of York (age 4), son of Edward IV of England, in 1478.
  - Emperor Honorius of Rome (age 10) – Married Maria, daughter of Stilicho, at around age 10 in 398 AD.
  - Agnes of France (age 8–9) – Married Emperor Alexios II Komnenos of Byzantium in 1180.
  - Isabella II of Jerusalem (age 11) – Married Conrad of Montferrat in 1190, and later Henry of Champagne.
  - Helena (age 10) – Daughter of Ivan IV (Ivan the Terrible); married Prince Gustav of Sweden around age 10 in the mid-1500s
  - In 1880, the legal minimum marriage age in the United States was as low as 7 years old in Delaware and 10 years old in California.

- Numbers 31:17–18 in the Bible is what constitutes a dogmatic permit for pedophilia where God commands the Israelites to simply take young girls and keep them for themselves with no reference to marriage.

Isn’t Aisha just lucky to have survived the abuse/ rape?
- Survivors of childhood sexual abuse typically show lifelong physical and psychological trauma such as PTSD, shame, gynecological issues, and substance abuse, but none of this is seen in her case.
- She lived a long life (67 years), abuse victims often suffering poor long-term health outcomes.
- She was highly intelligent, a prolific scholar, and influential in society, which contradicts the profile of a traumatized abuse victim.
- She was active, athletic, charismatic, assertive, and even led troops in battle, none of which align with abuse-related debilitation.
- She openly engaged in playful and bold interactions with the Prophet, showing confidence rather than fear or trauma.
- She defended her husband even after his death, and labeling that Stockholm syndrome fails since it presupposes abuse for which evidence is lacking.
- Watch from 19:12 min https://youtu.be/ZH8L3XiVrXw?si=ja8Msx0aNkRdvrUx&t=1152
- The prophet (pbuh) gave his wives (including Aisha (R.A.) the option to leave him or stay with him and struggle through difficult circumstances, and all of them chose to stay with him (including Aisha (R.A.))
  https://sunnah.com/nasai:3445
  https://sunnah.com/nasai:3201
- At least 10 members of her immediate and extended family were present at the time of her marriage. Don't you think they would have spoken up if they sensed that she was in harm's way?
  https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Muslimin/discussions/1/595163560549765475/
- There was no coercion between the prophet (pbuh) and his wives, as evidenced by this incident:
  - https://sunnah.com/bukhari:5254
  - https://sunnah.com/bukhari:5255
    This incident happened after the Hijrah, during the Medinan period when Muslims were politically and militarily strong, not during the Meccan era of weakness; the woman is commonly identified as Asmāʾ bint al-Nuʿmān al-Jawniyyah, and reports place the event around 7 AH, after major consolidations of power such as Hudaybiyyah and Khaybar, meaning it occurred at a time when the Prophet ﷺ had full authority and security in Madinah—making her refusal especially significant, since it shows that even at the height of Muslim power, consent was decisive and immediately respected.

Historical marriage is immoral/ unethical
- First of all, early marriage was multiculturally common in historic eras due to numerous factors. Please review the answer to all the previous questions/ claims to avoid falling in Presentism.
- Morality is vague and subjective, less so with ethics, however both are culturally and time dependent. The burden falls on you to present a categorical or consequential framework to establish a more structured framework of evaluation.
- In Islam, the moral compass is the Quran, if your moral compass is the Bible please indicate where the age of marriage is explicitly stated in the Bible.
- The age of consent in Bahrain is 21, so it seems like every single country that is not Bahrain have to ponder on their immoral actions and try to bring their standard up to Bahrain's! (/sarcasm)
- If the question refers to contractual marriage, then this does not involve intimacy/ consummation (at least in Islam) it is literally signing a piece of paper based on the discretion, judgment and consent of the guardians (at least in Islam), so there is no actual breach of any perceived morality in this case.
- If the question refers to consummation of the marriage, consent is taken upon reaching puberty, any form of coercion to this regard is not allowed (at least in Islam), again there is no breach of any perceived morality in this case as well.
- Does that claim also apply to contractual marriage between Rebekah and Issac mentioned in the Bible?

Historical early marriage (post puberty) is pedophilia
- This claim is an example of “Presentism” which is a logical fallacy in which one judges past events or historical figures by modern day contemporary standards which are obviously different from those of the societies and people of the past that are being dishonestly evaluated.
- There were many reasons for early marriage in past eras, including:
  - Lower life expectancy – With shorter lifespans, people married earlier to have children before health declined.
  - Lack of mandatory education – Without compulsory schooling, children often transitioned to adult roles earlier, including marriage.
  - Simplicity of life in the past, life was generally more straightforward and structured around survival, family roles, and community expectations, which made it easier for children to take on adult responsibilities early—including marriage, examples:
    - Survival-focused lifestyles: Families depended on all members, including children, to contribute to farming, herding, or household work, making kids more involved in adult roles early on.
    - Work over schooling: Limited or no access to formal education meant children weren’t spending years in school, allowing them to transition to adult responsibilities sooner.
    - Early skill acquisition: Kids learned by directly observing and helping parents, gaining practical life skills early without needing formal training.
    - Clear gender roles: Societal expectations were straightforward—girls were were traditionally expected to marry and bear children early, with limited opportunities outside the home. Boys were prepared for labor or leadership, reducing confusion about their roles.
    - Community-based living: Children were raised in close-knit communities where responsibilities and expectations were reinforced by elders and peers.
    - Puberty marked adulthood: There was no extended adolescence; reaching puberty often meant readiness for marriage and starting a family.
    - Agrarian Societies – Farming communities valued large families for labor, encouraging early marriage and childbearing.
    - High Infant Mortality Rates – More childbirth years increased the chances of having surviving offspring.
    - Low Population Density – In sparsely populated areas, early marriage helped grow communities and ensure survival.
    - Seasonal & Climatic Factors – Harsh winters or agricultural cycles influenced marriage timing, often leading to earlier unions for practical reasons.
    - Legal Constraints on Women – In many cultures, women had few rights outside of marriage, making early marriage a necessity for social and economic survival.
    - Limited Medical Knowledge – Early childbirth was encouraged because maternal health risks were poorly understood, and younger women were seen as more fertile.
    - Lack of Modern Contraception- Before modern contraception, early marriage ensured reproduction occurred within socially accepted norms, preventing illegitimacy and regulating family structures. Without reliable birth control, societies encouraged marriage at a young age to align sexual activity with childbearing.
    - Legal & Social Maturity – Adulthood was defined by physical maturity rather than age, so marriage happened earlier. In many past societies, adulthood was determined by physical maturity rather than a fixed age. Since there were no standardized age markers like legal adulthood or mandatory education, puberty was often seen as the transition to adulthood. Once a person—especially a girl—was physically capable of bearing children, they were considered ready for marriage. This was partly due to the necessity of reproduction and ensuring lineage continuation. Additionally, without modern scientific understanding of adolescent development, societies placed fewer distinctions between teenagers and adults in terms of responsibilities, making early marriage a natural expectation.
    - Protection & Security – Marriage provided social and economic security, especially for young women.
    - Lack of Career Opportunities – With limited education and job options, marriage was the primary path for many.
    - Religious Encouragement – Many faiths promoted early marriage to uphold moral values and prevent immorality.
    - War & Conflict – Unstable times led families to marry off children early to ensure security and lineage survival.
    - Inheritance Laws – Early marriage helped secure family wealth and property through heirs.
    - Rural & Nomadic Lifestyles – In traditional societies, early marriage ensured a steady workforce for survival.
    - Avoiding Scandals – In societies where premarital relationships were stigmatized, early marriage prevented social disgrace.
    - Shorter Adolescence – The concept of "teenage years" as a separate life stage is modern; historically, people transitioned quickly from childhood to adulthood.
    - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH8L3XiVrXw
- Furthermore, the change in people’s norms and customs of the age of marriage undeniably happens in all nations. California increased the age that allows one to legally have sexual intercourse many times within only a 25 year time bracket. Until 1889 the legal age for sexual intercourse was 10 years old, then it became 14 years, then 16 years in 1897, then in 1913 it became 18 years. However, until today it is still 13 years old in the State of New Mexico and 14 years old in the States of Mississippi and Iowa. This is a nation that differs to the previous nations and it is an era that differs to that era and the legal age for marriage and sexual intercourse was, until recently, 10 years old. What about a different nation that lived in a different era with different norms and customs that existed 14 centuries ago, akin to that of the Prophet's (pbuh)? The recent extensive changes in the circumstances of the world have led to great changes in people’s customs and norms, therefore it is unfair and unwise for the people of this era to judge human history based on their current standards and norms.

Why did the government of Iraq make it legal to marry at the age of 9 if you claim that this is not recommended in our time
- The government of Iraq that passed this law is Shia. No, Shia are not the same as Sunni. Shia have many deviations and innovations that stray from the authentic teachings of Islam so this example is already invalid
- This law was reversed and re-instituted the age of 18 as the baseline for legal marriage (January 2025).

What about the Yemen incident where an 8 yr old girl died after her old husband abused her?
- The story is “Unproven” https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/yemen-child-bride/
- Yemen has a sizable percentage of Shia Muslims who deviate greatly from the authentic teachings of the prophet (pbuh)
- And even if it was a proven story from a Sunni household, the general Islamic principle is “la derar, wa la dirar” (don’t do harm nor return harm) but followers of any religion are not robots, they are people and people make mistakes. You don’t judge a religion by the actions of the followers but by the teachings of the central figures (in this case the marriage of the prophet pbuh and Aisha Ra.)
- If you want to talk about anecdotes and followers lets talk about the catholic church child abuse scandal:
  - According to the 2004 John Jay Report, approximately 4,392 Catholic clergy members in the United States were accused of child sexual abuse between 1950 and 2002, representing about 4% of the clergy active during that period. More recently, a 2023 report by the Illinois Attorney General identified 451 Catholic clerics and religious brothers in Illinois who abused nearly 2,000 children over almost 90 years. While these figures provide insight into the scope of abuse within the Catholic Church, comprehensive global data is limited, and the total number of religious figures involved remains uncertain
    - John Geoghan (USA) – A former Boston priest accused of molesting over 130 boys over three decades. His case triggered the 2002 Boston Globe investigation that exposed widespread abuse and cover-up by the Archdiocese.
    - Marcial Maciel (Mexico) – Founder of the Legionaries of Christ, accused of abusing seminarians, fathering multiple children, and abusing some of them. Despite early Vatican protection, he was eventually disciplined in 2006.
    - James Porter (USA) – A Massachusetts priest who admitted to molesting at least 100 children in the 1960s. He was convicted and imprisoned in the 1990s, becoming one of the first widely publicized predator priests.
    - Gerald Ridsdale (Australia) – An Australian priest convicted of sexually abusing dozens of children between the 1960s and 1980s. Church officials, including Cardinal George Pell, were later criticized for failing to act.
    - Fernando Karadima (Chile) – A highly influential priest found guilty by the Vatican in 2011 of sexually abusing minors. His case led to widespread resignations of Chilean bishops.
    - Lawrence Murphy (USA) – Accused of molesting up to 200 deaf boys at a Wisconsin school from 1950 to 1974. The Vatican was informed in the 1990s but did not act publicly before his death.
    - Paul Shanley (USA) – A priest in Boston known for outreach to troubled youth, convicted in 2005 of raping a boy in the 1980s. He had been moved between parishes despite numerous complaints.
    - Norbert Maday (USA) – A former Chicago priest convicted of abusing boys during church retreats in the 1980s. He was imprisoned and defrocked.
    - Joseph Birmingham (USA) – Allegedly abused over 50 boys in Massachusetts during the 1960s and 70s. Church officials reassigned him multiple times despite complaints.
    - Oliver O’Grady (USA) – An Irish priest in California who admitted to abusing at least 25 children. He was convicted and deported; his case was featured in the documentary Deliver Us from Evil.

Why are you advocating for child marriage today?
- This is a strawman argument, another form of a logical fallacy, me explaining the circumstantial historical events leading to early marriage has nothing to do with what I think about the age of marriage in modern times.
- When the Quran references a pre-modern societal practice (just like that in the Bible in the case of Rebeccah and Issac) it doesn’t mean that it advocates for it.
- There is no obligation (wujūb) to get married before the age of 18 in Islāmic law and each nation has its own laws regarding the legal age of marriage.
- The consensus of Muslim Scholars in our time agree and recommend for the spouse to first reach an age well above puberty (15-18) before initiating any type of marriage process, even if only contractual. They also advocate to follow the law of the land regarding the age of consent.

In the Bible, God orders rape of prepubescent girls!!
- Numbers 31:17-18 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones (taph), and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the female children (taph), that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
  - Direct order from God! (unlike Quran which only references a pre-modern social practice)
  - An order for Rape! which is harmful (in Islam all sexual relationships are within the scope of marriage, under supervision and permission of the guardians, and with clear instructions against causing harm, also rape is prohibited in Islam)
    - https://www.dar-alifta.org/en/fatwa/details/6033/does-marital-rape-exist-in-islam
    - https://sistersinislam.org/quran-marital-rape/
  - No requirement to reach puberty! (Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) only consummated after puberty)

  - Perhaps this dogmatic allowance of rape is what lead to the Catholic church sexual abuse scandal

  - Gentile women argument
    - God FORBID for Jews to have Gentile women as wives:
    - Exodus 34:16 (ESV): "And you take their daughters for your sons, and their daughters whore after their gods and make your sons whore after their gods."
    - Deuteronomy 7:3-4 (ESV): "You shall not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons, for they would turn away your sons from following me, to serve other gods. Then the anger of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly."
    - So Numbers 31:18 is speaking about taking SERVANTS, not wives.
    - Rebuttal:
      - This reply is flaud on many levels:
        Moral perspective-
        The text in Numbers 31:17–18 does not simply frame the issue as one of intermarriage but explicitly distinguishes between killing women who had known a man sexually and sparing virgins “for yourselves.” Simply pointing to verses that forbid intermarriage doesn’t resolve the perception that the spared virgins could be used for sexual purposes—whether as wives, concubines, or slaves.
        Arguing “they were only servants, not wives” sounds even more problematic, because it still leaves open the question of whether servitude excuses the implied sexual exploitation.
        Textual focus – Numbers 31:18 literally says, “keep alive for yourselves,” which strongly suggests possession, not neutral servitude; trying to reframe it as mere "servanthood" ignores the plain wording.
        Historical context – In the Ancient Near East, female captives were commonly taken as concubines or wives after wars. To deny that context without evidence is just an evasion tactic.
        Contradictory logic – Citing Deuteronomy and Exodus about prohibitions of intermarriage does not erase the fact that Israelite law (e.g., Deuteronomy 21:10–14) explicitly permits taking captive women as wives. So the argument actually undermines itself by cherry-picking verses.
        Ethical optics – Claiming the women were “just servants” is not morally exonerating, since enslavement of captives (especially young girls) is itself ethically troubling, so the counterargument doesn’t defuse the charge but reinforces it.

Is God of Israel a Pedophile?!
- Numbers 31:35–40 "[From the captives of war] 32,000 women who had never slept with a man...of which the tribute for the LORD was 32 [among them were virgin girls]."
  - "Even though God Almighty's share of the 32 virgin girls is metaphoric, meaning that He didn't come down and have sex with them, but if any wants to call Prophet Muhammad a pedophile or womanizer for marrying (his best friend's daughter with both her parents' approval) a young girl and marrying multiple women throughout his life, then he should not only call his Biblical Prophets as such, but also the GOD of Israel Himself!"

The Bible endorses rape!
- Deuteronomy 21:10-14 Good News Translation (GNT) – 10 “When the Lord your God gives you victory in battle and you take prisoners, 11 you may see among them a beautiful woman that you like and want to marry. 12 Take her to your home, where she will shave her head, cut her fingernails, 13 and change her clothes. She is to stay in your home and mourn for her parents for a month; after that, you may marry her. 14 Later, if you no longer want her, you are to let her go free. Since you forced her to have intercourse with you, you cannot treat her as a slave and sell her.”
  - YHWH commands his soldiers when they go out in war and they see beautiful females, and the soldier is attracted to her, he can “TAKE” the female and force her to marry him after one month. The word “take” is in of itself evidence that the females were taken without their consent i.e., they were forced into a marriage that they did not consent to . In verses 13 to 14, it goes further and states, that if the soldier were to not desire the female anymore he may let her go as he wishes because “you forced her to have intercourse with you”.

Bible allows marriage of a 3 year old!
- (Genesis 24–25) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IUWB7cwWA9M
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9pBlICgXKs
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLzxHPZME-s
- Isaac married Rebekah when he was 40 years old. Rabbinic sources offer two main views: some calculate from the timeline that she was only 3 years old, meaning a marriage contract (kiddushin) was made symbolically at that age but without physical union. Thus, the tradition emphasizes that Isaac was a mature man of forty, while Rebekah was very young—contractually “married” as early as 3 in one rabbinic interpretation.
