    WARNING NFSW - READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION

    Upon a clear reading of Quran 654, Allah explicitly allows Muslim men to not only marry prepubescent girls, but to have sex with them too.

    As for your women who have despaired of further menstruating, if you are in doubt, their period shall be three months; and those who have not menstruated as yet. And those who are with child, their term is when they bring forth their burden. Whoso fears God, God will appoint for him, of His command, easiness. (Quran 654)

    The key word phrase here is "and those who have not yet menstruated which in 99.9% of cases can only mean little girls. The iddah (waiting period) refers to the amount of time a divorced Muslim woman/girl must wait after remarrying to ensure that she is not pregnant. This is to determine the fatherhood of her child, assuming she was pregnant after being divorced.

    Note The iddah is only applicable to Muslim women/girls who have had sex whilst married to their ex-husbands. Quran 3349 is clear that there is no iddah for the woman/girl who has not had any sex whilst being married.

    O believers, when you marry believing women and then divorce them before you touch them, you have no period to reckon against them; so make provision for them, and set them free with kindliness. (Quran 3349)

    What does this all mean? Well, since married girls who have not been "touched" (i.e. had sex) do not have an iddah, this means that in Quran 654, the prepubescent girls who do have an iddah must by necessity have had sex with their former husbands before being divorced.

    Now, I am aware that most of you are Quran Only Muslims, but even going back to the earliest records of Islam, from the earliest tafsirs and the earliest books of fiqh, every Islamic scholar has interpreted "and those who have not menstruated as yet" in 654 as meaning prepubescent girls. Here is Ibn-Kathir's exegesis of 654

    And that is the one whose menstruation has stopped due to her older age. Her Iddah is three months instead of the three monthly cycles for those who menstruate, which is based upon the Ayah in (Surat) Al-Baqarah. see 2228 The same for the young, who have not reached the years of menstruation. Their Iddah is three months like those in menopause. This is the meaning of His saying;
    وَاللَّـتِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ
    (and for those who have no courses...) as for His saying...

    Every other classical exegete up until the modern age interprets this verse the same way. And even if you reject all the tafsir/fiqh/ijma, even then there can only be one possible meaning from a plain reading of the text - that Islam allows Muslim men to marry and have sex with their prepubescent wives and that these underage girls also have an iddah.

    My question to all the Quran Only Muslims reading this, especially the women, is that how can you remain a Muslim when the Quran essentially allows pedophilia?

      Where is the issue with 654?

      As for the women who have reached menopause, if you have any doubts, their interim shall be three months. As for those who do not menstruate, and discover that they are pregnant, their interim ends upon giving birth. Anyone who reverences God, He makes everything easy for him.
      وَالّٰـٔى يَئِسنَ مِنَ المَحيضِ مِن نِسائِكُم إِنِ ارتَبتُم فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلٰثَةُ أَشهُرٍ وَالّٰـٔى لَم يَحِضنَ وَأُولٰتُ الأَحمالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَن يَضَعنَ حَملَهُنَّ وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجعَل لَهُ مِن أَمرِهِ يُسرًا

      The verse is talking about married women. Some women find that their period stops or becomes irregular before the menopause.
      Where do you see under age girls in the verse?

      GOD bless you.
      Peace.

        Please read your own text. Girls who cannot menstruate are either prepubescent or menopausal. Menopausal women have already been addressed in the beginning of the verse. 654 clearly says that prepubescent girls have a waiting period, i.e. they have had sex (been raped) by their former husbands, as prepubescent girls cannot consent to having sex.

            The verse is talking about married women and girls.

            Some women find that their period stops

            You don't say. Menopause is when a woman stops having periods. This is addressed in the first half of the verse.

            or becomes irregular before the menopause

            Red herring. Irrelevant comment. A woman who has an irregular period still has an iddah as long as she has had sex with her former husband as per Quran 3349.

            Where do you see under age girls in the verse?

            "Those who have not menstruated" means prepubescent girls. Menopausal women have already been addressed in the first half of the verse, in the second half, prepubescent girls are being addressed. It is a very simple deduction.

            Repeating the same question will not make the problem go away.

              Peace Assassino.
              The verse is talking only about married women. Divorce is between a married couple.
              I do not see any issue. Read the verses in context, 651 onwards,- When you divorce women....
              You see under age girls and they are not mentioned in any of the verses.
              That is my take.
              Thank you.
              GOD bless you.
              Peace.

                The context is clear. The verse is talking about the iddah of both women and girls who have not yet menstruated which can only mean prepubescent girls.

                You see under age girls and they are not mentioned in any of the verses.

                Dude, you are coping hard. THOSE WHO DO NOT MENSTRUATE can only mean menopausal women or prepubescent girls! Both classes of females are addressed in 654! Jesus Christ.

                That is my take.

                Yes, and this is all you can fall back on. Every tafsir, every classical scholar of the Sunnah, every book of fiqh from the Mukhtasar Al-Quduri to the Reliance of the Traveller agrees that prepubescent girls can be married/slept with. For 1400 years, Islamic scholarship has interpreted 654 this way.

                All you have, is to fall back on your own singular interpretation which can ultimately mean anything if you choose to reject authority like most Quranists.

                  What does this all mean? Well, since married girls who have not been "touched" (i.e. had sex) do not have an iddah, this means that in Quran 654, the prepubescent girls who do have an iddah must by necessity have had sex with their former husbands before being divorced.

                  My question to all the Quran Only Muslims reading this, especially the women, is that how can you remain a Muslim when the Quran essentially allows pedophilia?

                  When the Quran talks about women or marriage of a women it is talking about women who are able to bear child. These ages can range from ages under 18 and up. I don't know what your religion is but if you are a Christian you should know that when Mary had Jesus she very likely had him under the age of 18 years old. Most Biblical scholars would tell you this because this was the normal age of bearing children for most young women since the dawn of civilization.

                  Young women who were capable of bearing children got married at a very young age. The Jews did this, the Christians did this and so did the Muslims. This was perfectly acceptable practice for all Abrahamic faiths and many civilizations for centuries. So if you are a Christian and you refuse to accept this you are shaming every messenger, prophet for doing something that was perfectly acceptable and normal under the Scripture and God.

                  You are no God. Just as women are not equal to men and are placed lower then men you may not like what God has allowed but you are no position to question what he has allowed. If you do so, you do so incurring severe consequences.

                  Back to the text, Sura 654 is taking about women who have the capability to bear children. This does not mean only woman over 18. This notion of 18 being the acceptable age for marriage is a radical modern fabrication that has never been the norm for 99.9% of all cultures on earth for centuries. Pedophilia to me is what the Jews allow in the Talmud. In the Talmud, a man could have sex with child as young as 3 years old! Such acts are disgusting, and unlawful and it those kinds of acts that should be condemned by society and anyone that does such a thing should be killed. Rape is unacceptable. This goes for ALL ages. These are the acts that deserve death. However I refuse to condemn Moses, Abraham, Issac, Jacob or David for marrying any young women under the age of 18 which was perfectly normal. God did not condemn them. And neither will I.

                    Married women are not and should not be under age girls. Or you might as well add baby girls to your list.
                    Marriage is a big responsibility. No woman can be married without authorisation from her parents/guardians.
                    Qoran protects the rights of women and children.
                    Qoran does not say what you claim.
                    GOD bless you.
                    Peace.

                      Exactely. There are two classes of women that are mentioned in the Quran.

                      • Non-independent Women

                      • Independent Women

                      Non-independent women fall under the bracket of women that have no resources or means to gain resources. In modern terms this is akin to an unemployed women who is still dependent on others namely their guardians. In order to earn her hand in marriage you need to go through her parents to make a request.

                      Independent women fall under the bracket of women who had resources. In modern terms this is akin to an employed women who is not a dependent. These women I reckon you will not need permission from her parents to ask to marry. I may be wrong on this, God knows best. But my understanding is that if you are an independent individual you don't need the permission of your family to marry someone seeing as you're responsible for yourself...hence the term independent.

                      Regards,

                        The key phrase is when you are divorcing your women in ayah 1.

                        O Prophet!
                        When you are divorcing the women (إذا طلقتم النساء) ...

                        A man marries a girl who has not yet menstruated
                        in order to divorce her while she has not yet menstruated.
                        Right?

                        Is he in his right mind
                        if the girl is healthy in terms of menstruation,
                        so will have her firtst menstruation (menarche)
                        at age 12?

                          Peace Assassino,

                          You have mistranslated 65/4, it does not say "who have not yet menstruated" but who have not menstruated.

                          654 With regards to your women who have given up on menstruation, should you be in doubt, then their interim
                          shall be three months, and that also applies to those who have not menstruated. As for those who are pregnant,
                          their term ends upon giving birth. Whoever reveres God, He makes his affairs easy for him.

                          Some women have what is called Amenorrhea, a hormone imbalance.

                          God bless you

                          peace

                            you have chosen a translation that uses the word “yet”, not all translations do so. the “yet” is an inserted word. most translations say “those who have not menstruated” or “those who do not menstruate”. there are grown adult women who do not have periods, this is not about children. look into the Quran and you will see God does allow mistreatment of women or girls. please do not use fake activism to slander Islam.
                            My God guide you.

                                The three-month waiting period
                                is not elated to the divorcing women's menstrual cycle in 651-4,
                                therefore it is not related to whether they are pregnant or not.

                                The proof is
                                the length of the menstrual cycle changes from 28 to 35 days
                                whereas the length of the three months never change.

                                  If you doubt,
                                  their waiting period is three lunar months.

                                  In other words
                                  if you doubt whether you really want to divorce your wife
                                  think over and over again in order to become sure
                                  before their waiting period expires.

                                  Women
                                  who have not had their courses until 18
                                  are living the problem of delayed puberty*
                                  but they are eligible to marry.

                                  You can marry them at 18 although they have not had their courses
                                  and divorce them at say 25 although they have not had their courses.
