Teenage marriages

· 9 Jumada II 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Why doesn't Islam forbid marriage during early teens after puberty (like 14,15) as it increases various risks (like death of mother)?

Answer

Islam is not based on your doubts and speculations.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
