message: It's possible that the content Smatrah wants to remove is somewhat undue.  I noticed that the child related points were bold, which I've corrected.  Encyclopedia Britannica's entry on Iddahhttps://www.britannica.com/topic/iddah does not mention it (but it says that it's both for widows and divorced, a point Smatrah appears to have contested before).  We also have articles about the topic like Child marriage#Islam.  A possibility is also to keep some of the child-related material only that is considered in due weight.

replies: text: I think giving three commentaries on a single verse and not giving even a single commentary of other verses shows that article have undue weight. The letters which were written in bold I myself removed first. I think giving one commentary of every related verse will make article better. Or if it is not so then verses are already clear no need of commentary. Pepperbeast is contesting so I expect him to reply here. Smatrah (talk) 13:50, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Will it be fine if someone writes the 3 complete commentaries of the verse and also complete commentaries of other verses relating to iddah?

thread_title:  Child marriage 

message: The article discusses various Muslim scholarly views but currently has no information on third party analysis of the practice and context (i.e. including about why and how easy it is for women to fall into disrepute in the culture, etc).  —PaleoNeonate – 12:54, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Academic view in relation to patriarchy 

message: So I know that the person who decided to put that section in said to "watch it as it's a controversial topic", but having said section is an issue entirely because there is controversy on if said verse actually involves children or doesn't. Not to mention, it doesn't even say child in the original context, it solely says women (and child is used specifically in context during many verses). It seems as if certain tafsirs seem to delegate it to "young ones who have not menustrated", and if this is true then It would be necessary to put that in the article as it's a major distinction. However, in all instances it's not explicitly mentioning children in the original text. 
Another case you have which contradicts this section is this verse:
O you who believe, when you marry believing women and then divorce them before you have marital relations, then you have no ‘iddah upon them… (Qur’an 33:49)
This verse implies that iddah is only applicable to women who are actually capable of having sexual relations (Which in classical jurisprudence is when they reach maturity), meaning that the verse can't apply to children.
https://islamqa.org/hanafi/askimam/5667 This explains what I mean in more detail.  
My final point is, there are multiple different viewpoints on what people think of this ayah, and it is best if someone includes those viewpoints.
