[quote][quote]No we do not become mature at 40 years! We become mature much earlier. Please refer to verse 4.6, where baligh age or maturity is defined as when one is intelligent enough to be married off.

And try orphans (as regards their intelligence) until they reach the age of marriage; if then you find sound judgement in them, release their property to them....

If you read arabic verse, you will see word 'baligh' is used here.

dear oosman, Though I dont want to go with this clearfying contradictions but i think ur post just made a confusion in here, so few things abt it.

1. word [b]balagh[/b] means to reach, to attain, to ripen, to grow.
2.In ayah 4:6, it says as [b]balagh-un-nikhah[/b] ------ means to attain the age of nikah.
3.ayah 46:15 says, [b]balagha ashaddo [/b] --- means to attain the age of strength.
4. The same ayah 46:15 then too says [b]balagha arbaAAeena sanatan [/b] --- means attains forty years.

Now in the ayah 46:15 it says "[b]when he reaches his strength and when he becomes forty"..., [/b] therefore there are two conditions described to fulfill before a man establishes the said opinion.

I wont establish my opinion in here as I m not forty neither have i attained of full strength but
i think its very shallow to take the only consideration in here that 40 is the age of maturness.[/quote]
