[quote]What I am saying is age limit is not a good measure of telling when a person should be allowed to get married. Ok so what magic formulae are we going to use? In the USA if a 16 year old boy marries a 20 year old girl, it will be considered statutory rape of the boy by the girl. Because the boy is underage, he is considered a rape victim, with the 20 year old girl being the rapist. Does that even make any sense? Why does it not make sense. It is the law, with which I assume those in USA feel comfortable. What criteria would you apply or is it ok for a woman to have marital relationship with a boy of any age! I am not sure the purpose of these examples, do they in any way justify the marriage of a 9 year old child. Surely as Muslims if we find the mariage of a 9 year old girl unacceptable then we should say so unequivocally & not muddle the issue by pointing out the faults in the west. Besides do two wrongs = one right?[/quote]
