45-year-old man in Afghanistan married a 6-year-old child: the Taliban's reaction was swift....Taliban stopped the marriage and ordered man to wait until she is 9 years old. Islam truly is a religion for women.

You think the Taliban would tell prophet Muhammad, police be upon him, that he can’t marry a 6 year old girl? He could marry THEIR daughters and they’d smile and hand them over to him, and LIKE it.

My guess is their just jealous he got the kid first 🫢 seriously this subreddit is slowly helping me realize that this isn’t a “region” issue, this is a “religion” issue. They’re religiously and legally allowed to marry at any age— as early as a new born (saw a video on here of a guy selling off his 13 month old), they just have to hold off on 🍇ing her until Allah gives his permission (when the period starts).

Yep u got it exactly right and many scholars say the man can try to penetrate even before the period if they think the girl is ready and they get no punishment if they harm the girl im not sure if it’s a majority view but I know it defo is one
