Islam vs western values.

Exactly. Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha was purely an Arabian cultural practice not ingrained in Islam. People like to call out the Prophet’s marriage to Aisha 1,300 years ago but never talk about obese, bloated and crazily violent 55 year old Henry VIII’s marriage to 16 year old Katherine Howard in 1540 (whom he beheaded 2 years later). Talk about double standards...
Abayo we are not comparing but coming fully to terms with our believe.
 
The prophet did marry Aisha, a 9 years old. This is only an analogy
People aged much quicker back then. She wouldn’t be the same as a nine year old today. The Prophet forbid people from marrying girls who were not of age and without her own volition. That effectively bans child marriage.
 
The west does not have a monolithic ideology. It does not exist. I think you are referring to liberal values, right? But liberty and islam are not mutually exclusive.

Did you know that nobody got stoned the first thousand years after the prophet's death? It is used as a deterrent and is a complicated process that can nearly be impossible to reach, becuase rhe requirements are hard to fit. This notion that people that steal gets their hands chopped off, and people that does adultery gets stoned to death is a grossly misinterpretation on the real usage of the law.
I'm referring to the liberal ones.

Let's say you found your dream girl and she is mentally and physically mature,but she is 9 years old. Would you still marry her then?
 
Bruh, 9 year old dream girl? This time the word 'girl' is taken too literal:cryinglaughsmiley::cryinglaughsmiley:
Alright! let's say you lived at the time of the prophet (pbu) and you fell in love with a 9 years old girl who is just like aisha in every aspect.what would yo have done in that case!. I feel like you all know what I mean but subconsciously find it disturbing which is the whole point of this thread.
 
I don't even wanna imagine, but I guess nothing is impossible:manny:
I mean yes, if the girl is a social genius and maybe suffers from a rare mental disease that make her think like an adult or something. But what is the odds of that? And even in that nearly impossible scenario you stumble on a new problem. In a normal romantic setting there lies a constant sexual undertone, so if you proclaim that you love a child romantically, then you are somewhat of a pedophile.

Maybe in a situation where you mary a 9 year old. And you restrain your urges, but cultivate a form of social bond until the girl becomes an adult, would make a better argument. But even in that situation many issues arises. Too many problems, so it's best to ban the practice, and we don't want to give pedo's legal pass

But wouldn't that be some sort of kufr. How can you make something halal haram. Btw I highly doubt there is much difference between Arab 9 years old girls now and then.

If it is halal then, ok. I mean, in a perfect world where everybody got good intentions then you would make it legal, but in this reality that assumption should not be made because the majority are corrupt.

Let's make an example. Let's say it is halal to own weapons for the purpose of protecting oneself. But in reality people are using these weapons for ill inventions and the death rates are staggering. Is it not logical to ban the practise of owning weapons so people can be more safe?

How it ought to be and how it really is, are two different things. And we should not make laws based on how things ought to be and ignore reality.

Actually I'm all for that .what I intended to get at was the thought of marring a 9 years old no matter the circumstances makes most of us disgusted. Should that be the case even though the prophet married aishaa at that age .
 
As Muslims, we shouldn't under any circumstances dilute the integral morals and ethics of our faith to fit this constantly changing and evolving secular and kaffir culture. What if it was socially acceptable here in the West to marry animals? :farmajoyaab:Y'all would be sitting here trying to deliberately pervert and manipulate the Holy Qu'ran and Hadith to fit your agenda.
