Early Marriage" Is it practicable Nowadays?

We have gone through the Prophet's life, we know Rasulullah S.A.W married a 9 years old girl namely Aisyah [Radiallahu anha].

If we say prophet's practice is not necessarily to be conformed, then we should refresh our shahadah.

But, how should we do to convince and open the eyes of the world about the truth? The truth that Rasulullah’s practice is always practicable and flexible?

By the way, in my humble opinion, when we ponder the practice of Rasulullah, we cannot deny the reality we are living in now, plus, that above practice is not obliged upon Muslim to follow, it is recommended as a part of Rasulullah Sunnah.

Many people who get married early [in Malay culture, marry during study is considered as early] such as below 20 always give a reason, 'we follow the sunnah', and in Islam it is encourage to marry early , to avoid bad things happen.

But, does that reason is applicable for a couple who are poor, want to marry early but an orphan, where to get money, how to survive?

I’m strictly not condemning sunnah!I LOVE MY RASULULLAH

many times we do not follow sunnah, we follow the culture but we credit our ction as 'we follow the sunnah!"

How long should we use the sentence 'we follow the sunnah!" to hide our real intention?'

We marry early to follow the sunnah’, but in reality they want to avoid the maksiat and to make things forbidden becomes allowable.

Means, before marriage they can be together, already touch the heart but yet fail to touch the body. When they married..ah..You know it right.

I’m not being sarcastic here, i just want to realize we should not use 'we follow the sunnah' just to hide our real intention.

Back to the topic,

in Arab countries, early marriage is a culture. When they decide to study in Malaysia, they already get marriage, in most cases.

It is good!

Can we apply it in Malaysia? in our Malay community? OF COURSE!

What prophet did is capable for us to follow.

But, nowadays if we let our sister at the age of 9 or 15, do you think they can survive with their new life as a wife?

Most probably, during Prophet’s time, girl already mature at early age, like our ancestors who married early.

Can we use that time to compare with our time?Our time where girl does know to taken care even herself, to cook the rice or to wash the plates.

What they know is playing with the doll, pondok-pondok and etc.

my point here is strictly not to go astray from al-Quran and Sunnah, just trying to open up the mind of us, how easily we as in identity card stated as Islam, taking 'we follow the sunnah' as for granted!

Like a husband who wants to marry a second wife 'i just follow the sunnah!'

But deep in his heart, he just follows the nafsu.

But...Allah is Almighty; He can do anything to us, who know sister our sis get married early, she changes to be better.
