In Yemen a man who was over 80 years old married a girl who was 8 years old. She died on the first night... This is why I have called upon all Muslim countries to make laws which determine a minimum marriageable age for females. This is no longer an secondary issue. In the sharia we have a principle known as “Blocking of the Means to Harm”... Do they not see that this is a harm that must be blocked as well? People in states of extreme poverty are selling their daughters to relieve their conditions... but the issue of young girls being married off is a reality occurring before our very eyes and it must be treated. - an interview with Habib Ali al Jifri
