There’s wisdom in getting married young, these little horny teenagers need to call a sheikh, get an apple, and a do nikah.
These very same parents are the ones that have made marriage unaffordable for all of them at a time were the haram has become easier then ever, people often try to hand them the excuse "that they simply don't know" but they know as well as you and I do.
My innocent brother in secondary school asked me not long ago that he overheard two of his friends (females) talking (16) and one of them told the other, this mystery dude she met (much older then her who picked her up in a car) taught her how to "ride".
He didn't know what that meant so he asked one of those girls which type of "car" it was, they both laughed at him for days until he asked me what they meant by this.
That's at the age of 16, in Somalia they are married off at that age and earlier, if she even turns 18/19 without being married everyone assumes she is a "" and no one goes near her for marriage.
I was always baffled by this attitude but now I know why it always existed back home despite FGM & conservative culture, they are simply employing a probability model of 'likelihood' because it's a case of not "if" but "when" she will be broken, the more years, the stronger the likelihood, hence the prophetic advice to marry young.
These are the kinds of ages where females make the worst mistakes which taints them for good, even worse in the west. A year ago I read a survey done among Muslims at university, it was anonymous one, 75% admitted to having engaged in "zinna" with 90% having had or currently are in relationships.
I had some fiery debates with many dayuus fathers in public over this who don't care and think my ideas are extreme, it's amazing how these men are blessed with the most wicked of daughters or sons, it's like a punishment coming from the skies to inflict them but they still don't learn.
If I have a daughter she will be married at 16 if not before, to a man minimum 8 years older since men mature much later, to someone who I know very well and have vetted for years prior including their family, if you don't do this, you have consented to her many illegitimate marriages
