Description
Session by Datuk Ismail Bin Yahya
Brief outline:
1. What is the purpose of the marriage?
2. What is Child Marriage?
3. Section 8 of Islamic Family Law (Federal Territory) Act, 1984 [Act 303] provides that;
4. According to Shafei school of thought, child marriage is totally invalid if :
5. The principle of trust (for wali/gurdian) is to safeguard the welfare of its trustees (children). Therefore, in certain circumstances the guardian’s actions that may be detrimental to the trustee’s child are prohibited, such as the guardian of the property of his child’s trust is considered invalid. In this regard, the position is the same as the issue of marriage of a child of her guardianship, as children are not prepared from the spiritual and physical aspects and do not require marriage as the Qur’an emphasizes.
6. The marriage of the Prophet SolalLahu alaihi wa Sallam and A’ishah which had said at that time A’ishah was nine years old, is the special right for the Prophet, AND cannot be the right argument that the hukum Syarak allows child marriage.
