The marriage of minors or underage is growing rapidly on these days. Because of poverty or any other lack of substantial matters, people marry their children, they are girls of age between seven, eight or up to twelve or thirteen. If you go to refugee camps, the matter is bigger than you can imagine. For the lack of food, shelter or education, people marry their girls. Some of these girls do not know what marriage is. Greedy ones are taking the advantage of the situations. Those who are rich offer their money for a nine-year-old girl. To add more petrol to the fire, there are some people who arrange these marriages, taking the need of the family and the demand of the other side who wants to satisfy his desire.
Is it because of poverty, the absence of conscience or the wars?
Is there any remedy for this matter?

Hi,dara
Ithink the phenomenon marriage of minors consider common nowdays
specially in arabic and islamic countries, there are lot of reasons make
It spread and take high numbers ,the economic situation first role which
Consider responsible for happening of this phenomenon ,then social ,culture
level ,misunderstanding the real instructures islam ,unfortantely some fathers
They are push their girls to marry specially in rural reigions although their girls
Dont have suitable ages,and bodies to become mothers for childs, iknow some
Cases in my country happend ,the girl who marry man older her ,she was 11 ,her husband 36 ,the girl died after intercourses night as result of blooding .
Merci beaucoup mon ami, Massal! You are very reasonable. Sensitizing people is not easy. It's a long and hard work. Thanks, Massal for your nice comment!

So it is a good topic and good questions ,so from my opinion about first one, i think it can be because of poverty and custom because there are some ethnic group married their children in early age. and about last one : yes there is any remedy for this matter, to sensitized people who practice this kind of things.
Shookran ya Esraa! Thanks, Esraa for pressing the like button and thanks for your add. I am really happy to be one of your friends.
Thanks, Steven Mehler for your comment! Ahasan Khundaker's comment was very short and to the point. He described it as a disease. I agreed with him. By the way, where have you been? I need your opinion about that discussion drugs, too. Thank you.

I totally agree with Ahasan Khundaker! This can be acceptable in no ways and for no reasons!
Khahish mikonam doste khbam Narin! For the age of twelve, it depends, some children at tweleve can reach puberty. The age of fifteen considered a grown woman. I married a child at 12, I was about thirty or thirty five. I have stated this point before, here in area, you can marry a child of 12 or 13 after she accepts and her parents approve that. The court will not object. Thanks Narin!

it is not really acceptable ,but unfortunately still we hear this kind of marriage specially in villages i think.of course not under 12 nowa days but i think even 15 and under it is not a good age for marriage.tnx for sharing .
Ya Mohammed janantani. Mashaa Allah! Mudakhala mumtazza jidan! Shunu ya akhi? Ana ma gailak kida. Fantastic intervention! I really liked the way you analyzed that discussion. In fact, it's lack of education to let two young people get married. Definitely, they will not be able to cope with their life. They have not had previous experience or any previous knowledge about it. Many points you have mentioned about the problem. We should take that into consideration. Compatibility is very necessary for the couple. Also, you have talked nicely about their sexual relationship. Thanks for your time and nice comment on that discussion, the marriage of minors. I really appreciate it.
