Question:
Assalam alaikum,
What does Islam/the Shariah say about men having “child brides,” say age 6 or 7 and the girl has not reached puberty?
Thank you
Answer:
Wa `Alaykum Salam,
No, Islam allows consummation of marriage only as long as the girl has reached her pubescent stage, after she has begun her menstruation.
