I guest they grace your post with silence because of the way you present your point. Attributing child marriage to Islam(muslim) is a kin to attributing terrorism to Islam. Islam has a religion has nothing to do with child marriage. Though there is no specified age for a woman to marry but consideration is given to the Maturity if the said lady. It now depends on how you interpret maturity. From my own perspective, it seems emphasis, in most culture, is given to physical maturity (rapid body development) which does not translate to intellectual maturity.

guy1234:



So if a 10 year old girl is smart, well behaved, obedient and all, goes to mosque as at when due and doesn't give anyone problems, she's mature for marriage?

Ogashub:


Watch how he will avoid this question

Well those who mostly practice teenage/ child marriage In Nigeria are mostly hausas, though I'm not hausa but having spent a long time in d north I believe I can give some reasons
first and foremost there is a very high tendency for a girl in her early teens to get defiled and corrupted if she or her parents do not have any future education plans, so to forestall that since she isn't gonna be doing any meaningful schooling its better she is married off, than watch her become a neighborhood fuckaholic, and mind u, premarital pregnancy is something no family up north will ever tolerate cos it will give d family a bad and black name, so u may see abortions up north but hardly can u see an illegitimate child.
Another important reason is because most men up north like to marry their wives as virgins and it's quite easy to find virgins among the younger girls as against older ladies, in fact In a typical hausa society you can hardly find a lady who is 25 yrs and above who has never married, except of course if she is reading courses like medicine
Still another reason is bcoz of the need to have a good and stable family, the younger a lady the more easier it is to groom her and she gonna respect and cherish the man more as against older more experienced women who know various ways of dealing with the huaband
Also in Islam women are generally not expected to work and earn a living, but she may if there is need . So if she isn't expected to work or her parents don't want to sponsor her further, why should she not be married off at an early age before her sexual urge and instincts will prompt her to immoral unions?
So all in all it is to maintain morality and prevent indecency, let a girl grow up knowing that sex is only done under the cover of marriage and not for a girl to get married later in life after haven slept with so many men in her younger years premaritally - such women may not find satisfaction in marriage and can easily resort to adultery

I don't think you can ever find a suitable answer to your question

The truth is that, Islam is very misleading that the followers are naturally aggressive and arrogant, they are quick to anger and have zero tolerance level. They can commit murder in the guise of protecting the image of their Mohammed.

However, their Quran encourages misogyny, womanizing and pedophilia. And this is very evident in the life of their hero, Mohammed. He married multiple wives both adult and children and encourages other to do so provided they have the capability, so what do you expect from the followers nah? .

This is not blasphemy or anything, I'm only speaking the undiluted truth which most of them will find offensive

It is for the same reason they would try to distance their religion from those that they feel ashamed about, instead of admitting that there indeed are a few bad apples among their bunch.

I brought this link to a few muslim friends. This is an imam who has co-ordinated many mosque prayers and events. Even heralded as an islamic scholar, but the moment he announces to the world that he is gay, muslims denied him openly. They said he wasn't islam and was a Christian planted to smear the islamic name.

That's their general response to anything related to their religion. They will either try to justify the action, deny that the culprit was ever Muslim or just go to their backup plan and blame it on Christianity.

Ogashub:
Note this post is not meant to ridicule the Islamic religion or insult Muslims but to have clear explanations and education on why they allow child marriages

I shared my blog post on almost 15 Facebook groups were i always share links and spark up conversations related to the link I shared and I have also shared same link and Post on nairaland

http://ogashub.com.ng/once-shes-been-penetrated-shell-no-longer-be-a-girl-northern-man-who-married-a-very-young-girl-says/

The post is about a northern man who married a 12 years old girl and he said ( once she has been penetrated she will no longer be a small girl) the same group I usually share links that sparks conversations insults and deliberations on bad government went mute when I shared this link today and 85% of the members of this groups are Muslims so my question is why are they always shying away from addressing the issue and giving a concrete reason for the act?

It amazes me that most of them often say that Boko Haram are not Muslims.
