Iran to legalize marriage of 9 year old girls

The Iranian Parliament recently issued a statement saying they regard
the country’s law prohibiting marriage for girls under 10-years-old as
“un-Islamic and illegal.”


As such, girls as young as nine would be permitted – and in reality forced – to marry men much older than them.


“We must regard nine as being the appropriate age for a girl to have
reached puberty and qualified to get married,” said Parliament member
Mohammad Ali Isfenani.


Forcing girls to marry at such a young age carries many serious consequences.


A 9-year-old girl is not physically or emotionally ready to start in
engaging in sexual activity, not to mention carrying a child. If a young
girl does become pregnant, her health risks increase dramatically. In
fact, girls under 15-years-old are five times more likely to die during
childbirth.


Forcing a girl to marry a man much older than her would thus
effectively legalize sex between a minor and adult man and endanger a
girl’s health and safety.


Marrying at such a young age also rips a girl of her chance to a full
education with the added burden of household and family
responsibilities.


Nine-year-old girls should be spending their time in school learning
not having sex, managing a household, or taking care of children.


Join members on Care2 in asking the Iranian Parliament to put an end to child marriage by signing the “Iran: Don’t Legalize Marriage for Girls Under 10!” petition.


Over the summer 75 girls under 10-years-old have been forced to marry
men much older than them. How many more girls need to suffer before
child marriage is taken seriously?


Sign the petition today!

NO I did not, for once, but in an undecided button. I'm sorry. But either you're perfectly okay with allowing these girls to be married off to something they can barely comprehend, or you're against it.

    There are two things relating to this issue when the Sunnis, mixing them Shiites, and the enemies of Islam, made him one thing, namely: to marry our child, and to engage them.

    The first issue: a marriage of our child: the scholars on this passport, and it is not in the Shara certain age for marrying a female, so as to prevent marry her before.


    The second issue: the small marry are not delivered to her husband in order to be eligible to have intercourse, puberty is not required, but the ability to carry intercourse

    Meaning that even if she was 13 or 15 or even 20, but does not have the physical ability to carry intercourse may not be delivered to her husband

    - Both old girl 9 years old or more .. May not marry only with their consent.

    This is about what is allowed in Islam ..
    There orders are governed by the nature of the society .. Only what I know through more than 30 years .. I did not hear the marriage of less than 18 years in both the (Saudi Arabia), (Yemen) and the GCC General ... Mander by interest

    As if the great father is afraid to die .. Who shall marry off his daughter (contract) who trusts men and fit it

    For me personally: the period of the engagement to my wife was 8 years .. And we got married after .. And I was 21 years old ... and my wife 18 years ... We...

    As for Iran!!
    It is a mistake to say: (Muslim Iran) and right (Shiite Iran)
    Unfortunately Iran appear to the world as a front to Islam .. And Islam disavows them ..

    They have a lot of shameful acts .. Killing Sunni Muslims .. They believe that this bring them into paradise
    Enjoy the girl child from the age of two years (sexually) .. And enjoy the boys (sexually)
    Beating themselves and their children with swords and believe that reverence for the dead person (Islam does not order this)

    Was it "opposite day" when you answered this question!?
    Conservatives are for the utmost harshest punishment of pedophiles/rapists, while the liberal judges are letting the offenders go w/a slap on the wrist. (Recommending therapy, etc... talk about disgusting)!

    I was speaking of the dumbing down of American citizens by the GOP and Christian Fundamentalism which is no less capable of the kind of terrorism that the Muslim fundamentalist terrorists inflict. They are one and the same, if Christian fundamentalism gets a hold of this Country's government we will see this kind of thing here.

    The religion of Islam is simply an excuse for pedophiles to pick and choose their victims legally.

    "It is highly recommended that a girl be married off as soon as she reaches the age of puberty. One of the blessings of man is to have his daughter experience her first period not in her father’s house, but in that of her husband."Ayatollah Khomeini
