Question Regarding Surah At-Talaq (65:4) And The Issue Of Underage Marriage
To understand the issue of marriage to underage girls in Islam, it is necessary to view the Qur’anic verses in their full context. In Surah At-Talaq, Ayah 4, the phrase وَاللَّائِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ refers only to the matter of ‘iddah. The purpose of this verse is to clarify that if a girl was previously married and has not yet reached menstruation or is pregnant, then what her waiting period (‘iddah) will be after divorce. This verse does not permit marriage or promote marriage to underage girls. The rules of ‘iddah and its duration are legal rulings related to divorce, not permission for marriage.In Islam, human dignity, protection, and avoidance of harm are fundamental principles. Any marriage is only valid when the girl has reached physical and mental maturity and her consent is possible. Islamic jurisprudence has strict protective measures regarding marriage of underage girls. The guardian or parents of the girl ensure her protection and welfare, and any harmful or forced marriage without her consent is not acceptable.Therefore, interpreting this Qur’anic verse as allowing marriage to underage girls is a misunderstanding. Islam has always prioritized human compassion and protection and has set legal and moral limits to prevent harm to minors.
