Question:
This questioner from Libya asks: What is the age of marriage for a Muslim girl? Is there a specific age for a girl to get married?
Answer:
As far as I know, there is no specific limit in this matter. The point is her ability to bear it; if she can bear marriage, there is no specific limit for her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married Aisha when she was seven years old and consummated the marriage when she was nine. So, if the girl can bear her husband and her guardian, that is the case. But if she cannot bear it due to the smallness of her body or her weakness, they should not hasten to marry her off until she is capable of marriage. As for the age, it varies; a girl of ten may be able to bear it, while a girl of fifteen may not be able to bear it due to her weakness and the weakness of her body, or due to an illness that has befallen her, or something similar.
So the point is: the woman's guardian, her mother, and her female relatives should look into her condition and not marry her off unless she is able to bear marriage. Yes.
