Did Umar (r) marry underage girls? | Mufti Abu Layth

Marcus Aurelius did I would have no power or the along on Murray underage girls ie I leave now in college daughter and over cos daughter no heater Murray underage girls because nobody really married underage girl you know this is a myth that is being that is being unfortunately it's being spread by I think two people one the the ridiculously naive yet committed a religious law who thinks somehow this is somehow defending their faith so they keep emphasizing this about the age of

Aisha and things like this that's number one and the other is I think people who are using this kind of stuff to justify their own desires or maybe to justify for certain people's and if not themselves so this is ridiculous yes the age in which people married may have varied and that's true but you it would have always been a certain age it would never have been like this six seven year old girls and eight year old girls things like that people did not do generally speaking I'm not saying you

know you may find an an incident in history and it's not to say old you know of people but you'll find examples of anything if you people have been cannibals but it doesn't mean that people generally were cannibals okay so that's my point and I've gone through that in great detail in my video on the age of Aisha where I explained that that look historically and they were certain cases when people at a young age when they could not provide they could not provide for their children so they would just marry them off in the hope that the

family of the other of the groom would provide for them and they would live there but it wasn't a sexual relationship like that and sometimes you see things like in places like India and even in Pakistan al I don't know if it's still going on but they would sometimes do things like when children were born they were to say okay I'm marrying him to this boy baby to that girl baby like I'm marrying them they married now and people did things like that sometimes they had princes married as as little kids and they would do but this was not a sexual kind it wasn't like you know oh this it wasn't from a sexual angle if they

did things like that first of all the majority the people did not do things like that contrary to what's being pushed and peddled by certain people and those that did wear these incidents did happen this was generally the kind of context so you see Imam Malik saying things like speaking about these issues but then he addresses that it would be forbidden for anybody to have any kind of sexual intercourse unless the girl was nubile so you say so this is how you have to have a holistic reading okay
