The point junaidj from Canada is making is valid one in that how can you accept anything which suggests it is ok for a 9 year old to get married. 
The arguments of education and non education are of no relevance. How many of those who are trying to gloss over this issue would marry off thier own daughter(s) at the age of 9 simply due to the fact that she had not attended school as yet. Anyhow what is an educated 9 yr old?

I am slightly confused by the original comments 'It seems in the west, they ridicule Muslims for this practice, and yet their own children are indulging in sexual activities as soon as they reach puberty' I was not aware that this is a practice exists in the Muslim countries. It is purely a say so in a Hadith. 
Illegal sexual acts are not condoned in any society. Just because unmarried children are having unlawful sex, does not make those in the West any more hypocrites than those in the Muslim countries. Are there no illegal sexual acts being commited in th Muslim countries? Just because a law is being broken, it does not make it an unjust law or its originators as hypocrites. 
The proof of the marriage at 9 is strongly disputed by many learned experts. I hesitate to use the word scholar. As the so called scholars have brought Islam into disrepute.
I must have lived a very sheltered life as I have never come across a mature 9 year old who can stand on his/her own. I
I would be intersted to know how our readers would respond to a man in thier neighbourhood expressing the desire to marry their 9 yr old daughter/sister etc.[/quote]
