@Magigi nani nasema hiyo. You have to give context.
Quote:So I feel medically, scientifically, and Islamically a marriage can be consumated at the age 9 once a lady is mature.
Where I come from, traditionally age limit is not specified. Tell me what it says where you come from, even in your Bible. In my country Kenya it is 18 years.
@bellshade additionally I can tell you, the Prophet (pbuh) said, if you marry a spouse (man or woman), look for four things:
(i). Virtue (her religion or religiousness)
(ii). Noble (her family status)
(iii). Wealth (her wealth)
(iv). Beauty (her beauty)
You should marry the religious woman (otherwise) you will be a loser.
The same holds true for those looking for husbands.
He further said:
"
When someone with whose character you are satisfied asks to marry your daughter, comply with his request. If you do not do so, there will be corruption and great evil on earth."
