The entire thing. It doesn’t condemn child marriage. It doesn’t specify what age people can be married at

That discusses the waiting period for old, widowed divorced women who cannot give birth any longer. Try again. I’ve memorized the whole thing.

the Bible definitely specifies that marriage should be consenting and both parties should be mature…

“Past the age of menstruation” as in, no longer can menstruate. Can no longer rear children. Very, very old. Not children. Come on, connect the dots!

“Past the age of menstruation….and for those who have not menstruated as well”, also didn’t the prophet Muhammad marry a 6 year old ?

I think that’s because the age of menstruation has become significantly less as time has progressed. Apparently women usually menstruated later back then

Well you see if you could read Arabic you’d know the context of that! They meant people with sickness or disability who cannot give birth.

It’s a long story. Generally speaking her age is only known through very old and very eroded old books. Arabic has also changed a lot since then. It COULD be 6 but it could also equally likely be 9 or 14. We simply don’t know for certain.

So the founder of Islam married a child but you’re unclear whether or not that’s allowed in Islam even though the law of Islam allows it as well

The law of Islam does not allow it? We just went over this, friend!

And let’s not forget Aisha’s age is only spoken of explicitly in like… three or four different places? At least as far as we know. Islamic scholars are still to this day unsure of her exact age, but they’re also unsure of a lot of things. It was over two thousand years ago for crying out loud!

You still haven’t shown where the Bible condemns child marriage btw. How old was Mary?

The Bible is clear on marriage it’s mutual love and serving each other and keeping God at the center, child marriage is abuse and non consensual and very obviously doesn’t honor God. Also Mary gave consent “And Mary said, ‘Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word’ And the angel departed from her.” (Luke 1:31-38), it’s believed she was 15 or 16, she was engaged at the time

Sure by today’s standards but this was two thousand years ago, like she was 16 engaged and that was the norm
