Is Underage Marriage Allowed in Islam?

[Raymann]

You can inform me about laws in other countries, but I don't live there, so it's not my business.

On 28 April 2022, the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Minimum Age) Act 2022 received Royal Assent and became law. The Act will raise the minimum age at which people in England and Wales can marry or form a civil partnership from 16 (although parental consent is already required for people aged 16-18) to 18.

But you follow the law of the land or Shariah?
Or both?
Or you pick and choose?

I follow the law of the land, unless it encourages me to sin.

The point is that we are not discussing UK laws but Shariah.
So let me paraphrase the question:
Is there any Sharia law against a man marrying a girl and consummating the marriage at 7 years old?
The parents gave their consent and claim she is mature enough.
What would your local Arab Scholar say about it?

You're like a broken record..
The question has been answered already.
There are over 200 posts in this thread.

"Sharia law" is law based on the Qur'an. It doesn't mean that people can do what they like, if it is not mentioned in the Qur'an.
Evil deeds tend to happen in war zones, by humans in general.

The answer has been avoided for more than 200 posts but I take it that your answer is YES, Islam allows marrying girls underage by omission, that is by not having any law against it.
Funny how not a single Muslim would ever answer yes to this simple question which means that there is a conflict of morals here, many Muslims deep inside don't agree with the morals imparted by their own God.

Nothing funny about it..
"Islam" is not a person. Nor is it a country.

I live in the UK, and I'm in favour of lowering the age of marriage, but not to 7.
Does that make me a bad Muslim, do you think?

Of course not, that would make you a better Muslim.
Islam doesn't care if you have sex with a 4-year-old as long as her parents consent and they assure you she is mature enough.

Islam doesn't care if you have sex with a 4-year-old..

That is so ridiculous.
"Islam" doesn't care, it would be Allah, the Most High, that cares.

It is more than obvious, that whatever we do, we will have to answer for.
Claiming that it says its alright to do wicked things in scripture is not a defence. It won't be accepted.

How do you know that Allah cares?
Do you speak in the name of Allah?
When did Allah specifically prohibit sex with young children?
Time to show proof or stop defending the crime.

Do you?
