That's one interpretation. Many Muslims interpret the verse as referring to women who no longer menstruate and adult women (not children) who have never menstruated due to some disorder or other reason.

That's true. I can see why many Muslims would wish to distance themselves from this but I was replying to the charge that "It has nothing to do with her being too young to menstruate."
Clearly, that is exactly how it has been interpreted for many generations by many Imams, clerics and the culture in general and this still goes on today in unfortunately large numbers. I'm happy that some are trying to end this practice, but there is no sense in pretending it's not an Islamic practice rooted in the Quran and Muhammad's example.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
