The ruling on marrying a young girl who understands the benefits of marriage

Question : You mean a young girl? We said that she is not to be married until she reaches puberty, even if the person grows up, meaning before she reaches puberty she started to become inactive and began to have an opinion on the matter?

Answer : It appears that if she understands the benefits of marriage, that is sufficient, because some scholars set the limit at nine years of age. A girl of nine usually starts menstruating, meaning she may start menstruating and may understand the benefits of marriage, especially in our time. Now, women have started to read and know the husband's rights and what is obligatory for him and what is obligatory for her. So a woman, even if she is twelve years old or around that age, understands the benefits of marriage. If a woman knows these matters well but has not reached puberty, and she is asked for permission and she gives it, there is no harm.
