PEDOPHILIA : Minimum marriageable age as per popular religion

Saturday 14 April 2012

It is so ironical that some people believe in one part of Islam and reject other. If Islam is not a true religion as per some of your senses than how come a verse defining the age of marriage of Muhammad with Ayesha become a point of argument????


First of all minimum legal age of marriage for different countries is different. So if we start making laws based on one nation than it is totally unfair and biased and this will lead to fight.


For Example minimum age of marriage in Singapore is 21, Libya - 21, Brazil - 21, Japan & China - 20, Nigeria (18-21), Switzerland, Sweden , Sri-Lanka - 18, Somalia, Russia - 18, Iraq, India - 18, Thailand, Korea, Israel - 17, UK, Pakistan, Hong Kong, Indonesia- 16, Iran, Costa Rica, Italy – 15, Mexico, Venezuela, Bolivia -14, Equatorial Guinea – 12, and Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Maldives have no age limit (http://unstats.un.org/ - Source UN website)


So, according to Mexico where a 14 year old girl is allowed to marry, she is prohibited to go into a marriage bond in Singapore where minimum age of marriage is 21. So who can justify these manmade laws???


What is the minimum age of marriage as per Bible? Vedas? Quran? Or any other sacred book??? All of us know that no religion has ever specified any minimum age of marriage in numbers but do you guys know what Quran and Bible speak about minimum age (or time) of marriage for women??

It’s the age when they attain puberty……. Does anyone of us can raise eyebrows on this? I think it’s a perfect solution. Why? As per medical study, women menses is a signal from her body that’s it’s the time she can get pregnant. The female egg travels through Filipino tube in order to mix with men sperm cell so as to form a combination and in absence of sperm cell, these eggs get collected in ovaries which later washed out through vagina in the form of blood. A girl from here can get pregnant anytime thus if GOD has wished something different for women, He wouldn’t have made girls experienced menses at such a young tendering age of 9-14.

3.  What is paedophilia? And what are its symptoms?

As per Britannica, a paedophile is a person who has a sustained sexual orientation toward children, generally aged 13 or younger and its symptoms defined by The American Psychiatric Association (APA) as "recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviours that involve children, nonhuman subjects, or other non-consenting adults, or the suffering or humiliation of oneself or one's partner."

Looking at Mohammad (s) life, he married to 11 women as per one source and only one out of 11 was virgin. His first wife was 15 year older to him and He remained with her till her last breath i.e. for 25 years they remained together without a second and this woman never complained of his behaviour even in those times when Muhammad (s) was weak and poor prior to migration to madinah. This nowhere shows the characteristics of paedophile and Muhammad at all time was surrounded by his companions and under a constant vigilance of his enemies who never left a chance to insult him and prove him wrong. Surely if marrying a 9 year girl was a crime in that society than they would definitely have caught him. On the other hand, he revived a system of marrying widow, divorcee and older women in order to strengthen society and help women develop. He even married a black woman and upholds her status. Who can compete with him??? (http://www.islamawareness.net/Muhammed/ibn_kathir_wives.html - Source Ibn Kathir)

4.  Age gap between men and women??

Sorry to say but there is no law as per any law governing body so one should not raise this question because a Hindu GOD Shiva who as per Hinduism is a living GOD for eon married a woman on earth which simply bring an age gap even greater than the life of our earth. This is baseless comparison and surely an educated guy should not raise such topics. I am not condemning Hindus and their belief but I am using their source to justify my point. Furthermore, an age gap is not considered a crime anywhere in the world.

5.  Why we not marry a 9 year old girl?

Our country allows a minimum age of 18 for women to get marry. Many people in Afghanistan and in Rajasthan marry to young women. But a point to be noted, in Afghanistan, men marry a woman when she attained a puberty or start experiencing menses whereas on the other hand a native of Rajasthan Village married away his daughter as young as 5 year old which is even against the teachings of Vedas. Vedas also allow minimum time of marriage for women is when she attains puberty.

I Hope we will not argue on topics without insulting each other. Every one of us has come from ONE GOD so we should not fight but discuss and understand each other in a humble and peaceful way.
