As you can see in the video below Imam in Saudi Arabia (where there is no age restriction for marriage), claims that girls can get married at any age and that marriage does not necessarily indicate an intimate relationship.
He claims in India a 9 year old girl is developed enough to handle marriage and have children, it all depends on hot weather he says.
Child marriage is still a common practice in most of the Middle East, Asia and Africa, especially in countries that practice Sharia laws.
An estimated 15 million girls under 18 are married each year. Girls who marry before they turn 18 are less likely to remain in school and more likely to experience domestic violence. Everything possible must be done to protect these vulnerable children.
Under Sharia law girls can marry at the age of 6, just like the Prophet Muhammad from the Koran did when he married Aisha. Muhammad consummated his marriage with Aisha when she was nine.
