A challenge about women and marriage in Islam

[Violet]

Also I've been searching and I can't find one instance of a 9, 10, 11 12 13 or even 14 year old being married in america.

Go back a century, you'll find plenty of 14 year olds married in America Two, and you'll likely find them married at 12.

And marriage isn't in general proven to give people much more of an opportunity to abuse their fellows?

Precisely so why expose 9 year olds to this.

Why not instead make the argument: why explose *anyone* to this?

9, 10, 43, 23428452... it doesn't matter, abuse is abuse regardless of age, and independent of age.
