[quote]Sorry if you got offended, I did not call any person dumb. If you read my statement again, I was saying the idea to impose age limit is dumb. That is what my point is, imposition of age limit is wrong. Since we already have an age limit in most countries, there is no need to overhaul the existing system, we can work with it. I proposed we not be so rigid, and let a judge decide individual cases that are below the age limit. Do you agree that this is a workable solution? I do not need to approve or disapprove whether or not age 9 is ok age for marriage. My whole argument goes against fixing an arbitrary age limit. Each case is unique. Each case needs to be decided individually. Denying any marriage just because the age is under 18 is stupid. The factors that really matter that are never considered are whether or not they are physically, sexually and financial mature and responsible or not. <<Are you saying that as the west has age limit on marriage,fornication, child molestation, homosexuality, only occurs in the west & the muslim countries in their beautiful way have no such problems?>> I never said that. Please try to understand what I am saying. If two 16 year old's want to cohabit, the law will not allow them to do so under marriage. So they will be inclined towards fornication when they cohabitat. The law in such case is actually encouraging what Islam has discouraged. A similar example of a stupid law is married couples to pay more taxes to the government than individuals cohabitting. Such a law discourages marriage. The law should require cohabitting couples to pay more than married couples so marriage gets promoted, but now most see higher taxes as a drawback of getting married and they prefer to not get married. I do not know where you or Junaid got the idea that I was inclined towards pedophilia. You totally failed to grab my argument. We may live in the west, but we should not let pro-western ideas fog our Islamic values.[/quote]
