"A additionnal verse that prove child marriage that is missing in this article"

This talk page is not a forum

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

A lot of quran only ( 100% quranist or just muslim who are rejecting some hadith will oppose you that the 65:4 didnt explicitly talk about child so they will tell you that the quran is actually talking about mature women who didnt menstruate yet and will reject all the tafsir( and even some hadith) since they are just regular "human" that can make mistakes .

But I have found a verse to prove child marriage DIRECTLY :

23. Forbidden for you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your foster-mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your stepdaughters in your guardianship—born of wives you have gone into—but if you have not gone into them, there is no blame on you. And the wives of your genetic sons, and marrying two sisters simultaneously. Except what is past. God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

so here in this verse the quran CLEARLY makes hallal to marry your "stepdaughter which you have in charge " You wouldnt have here in charge if she was a mature women.

I think muslims critics should add this verse to their arsenal even muslim quran only or who are rejecting all the bad hadith cant respond to that. This is the first time I use wiki I am not sure If I this is the right place and the right manner to provide you this proof But please think about adding this verse to this very good article that made me questioning my faith. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E0A:3E9:A260:393F:4B75:9279:4294 (talk) 12:21, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

bride kidnapping

The section on bride kidnapping doesn't demonstrate its relevance to this page. A kidnapped bride could be young or old, but nothing is said about that. It needs a source connecting it to child marriage or it should be removed. Zero^talk 10:26, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fixing an Error

I get it. You guys clearly don’t want people to know about other sources, but what Mordechai A. Friedman said in his book. I can’t say he is wrong, but most sources that I read on Jewish marriage contradict what he said. The sources I’ve read said most married at teen years or early to mid or mid or mid to late or early to late. None said before 15. Some point out that Palestinian Jewish women typically married in mid to late teen years while those in Babylon married earlier. Several sources said Palestinian Jewish women married 12-18. 2601:406:5101:F500:8889:EF3D:51CD:601B (talk) 16:30, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

mysterious statistic

I'm temporarily removing

"There are estimated to be around a hundred million child brides in Africa.^[1]"

More information and source is needed that says what the number means and who estimated it. The source says 125 million child brides, but this is more than the total number of females aged 12-18 in all of Africa. So it is quite impossible that this is the number of persons who are child brides now, even if (impossibly) all young African females are child brides. It could plausibly be the total number of married women who were children when they married, but that is only a guess.

Add A Fact: "650 million women married as children"

I found a fact that might belong in this article. See the quote below

650 million women and girls alive today were married before their 18th birthday

The fact comes from the following source:

https://data.unicef.org/topic/gender/child-marriage/
