Is it un-Islamic to ban marriage to children?
details coming...
An eight year old bride in Yemen died from internal injuries on her wedding night, bleeding to death after deep vaginal tearing caused by sex with her 40 year old husband.
The girl, identified only by the name Rawan, died in Hardh in the governorate of Hajjah in northwestern Yemen, according to a report issued by UPI on Sunday, Sept. 8.
Activists in the region want to put an end to the practice of marrying young girls, and have called for police to arrest the girl's husband and family. Nevertheless, the forced marriage of child brides in Yemen remains a socially accepted custom in many rural areas.
Indeed, the practice has deep cultural and religious roots, and is widespread in Yemen. A February 2009 law set the minimum age for marriage at 17, but it was repealed after some conservative lawmakers called it un-Islamic.

that's the reason why i don't believe the 9 year old marriage thing,how can we stop others if we believe that our prophet did it???
so i totally reject it,i love my prophet and i believe he could never do anything like that,all the evidence of the world cant convince me otherwise
marriage to children should be strictly banned,i get depressed when i hear stories like that,people are so inhumane

That girl was very unfortunate. I can't believe you are trying to support something like that. You are a depraved monster. It's un-HUMAN to NOT ban it.
