Just inquiring - Is this permissible under Islamic Tenets?

I am aware that its a criminal offence under the Child Rights Act.

Just inquiring, cos I heard an Islamic Scholar this morning on TV saying that although legally its wrong, there is nothing wrong with it under Islamic Tenets.

Is this the case?

The beloved prophet of the Muslims married a 9 year old girl. . . .Sunnah is what they call living a life that emulates or follows the footsteps of the pedophil.e prophet. . . .

Are you implying that their prophet was a paedophile?

By our standards today,yes mohammad the prophet of islam was a pedophile. he was said to have married and started screwing a girl whose age was below 10. peace be upon him.

I did not type "craddle-robber". I typed "pedo.phile"

religion serves to preserve the status quo. even agro dey catch the perfect mohammed.

He wants to be sure he is the first person to plug his flash drive into the girls usb port.

Listening to Yerima "explain" on BBC Hausa Service would have been like listening to a joke but for the fact a thirteen year old girl is involved. He says (1) The girl is not thirteen but he will not disclose her age  (2) He has not broken Islamic Law (3) He must live according to the tenets of his religion (4) The prophet married a young girl (5) He will not obey any law that goes against his religion.

Listening to him, anyone unfamiliar with Islam would think there is a Quranic injunction that a Muslim must marry a thirteen year old. There is nothing like that! I think following the tradition of the prophet in this case makes no sense because, as many Muslim scholars have opined, that happened at a different time and place. And one wonders why a man who swore to protect the Constitution will turn around to say he may not obey all the laws. There are religious groups who don't obey all the laws, but at least, they don't seek public office.

I read the full text of the interview.

It was simply disgusting.

What will be more disgusting and laughable will be the Federal Republic of Nigeria - if he is not arrested, prosecuted, jailed and recalled from the Senate.

Don't hold your breath. Last I heard the case was dropped into a black hole called Ethics and Privileges Committee. And what was about "recall"? Not in Yerima's constituency!

why is this topic here? Does deep sight no longer know the way to the islamic section? Moderators pls fix this.
