Thousands of child brides are wedded every year in Islamic countries

Tehran, Iran - Under Iranian Islamic law, girls can legally be married at age 9 lunar years (approximately 8 years and 9 months) with parental consent and court approval. While the official minimum marriage age is set at 13 for girls and 15 for boys, Article 1041 of Iran's Civil Code permits marriages below these ages with permission from a father or male guardian and a judge.

According to the Statistical Centre of Iran, between 2021 and 2022, at least 27,448 registered marriages of girls under the age of 15 were recorded. In 2020, 31,379 girls between ages 10-14 were married.

Girls as young as 9 lunar years who are married become subject to Civil Code Article 1108, which obligates wives to fulfill the sexual needs of their husbands. Factsheet · Women and Girls’ Rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran - Impact Iran The law essentially legalizes forced marriage, as court permission allows legal guardians to marry minor daughters without their genuine consent.

Iran ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1994, which recommends a minimum marriage age of 18, but made reservations to articles contrary to Islamic Sharia law.

Rahim Pour Azghadi, a member of Iran's Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, defended child marriage by stating: "There is no age limit for marriage in Islam. Even a primary school child can get married." Child Marriage Still Happens in Iran | Iran International When Iran's parliament considered raising the minimum marriage age in 2018, the bill was defeated. A spokesperson for the judicial committee opposing the bill said: "My grandmother married when she was 9 years old and she did not have any problems."

Human rights organizations report that actual numbers are likely much higher, as many child marriages in rural areas go unregistered. Temporary marriages (Sigheh), used to circumvent Islamic restrictions on sex outside wedlock involving minors, are also common.

THE CRUSADERS CALL

Iran legally sanctions the rape of children. Call it what it is.

Islamic Sharia law permits grown men to "marry" 9-year-old girls. This isn't marriage - it's state-approved pedophilia. Iran's theocratic regime has codified child sexual abuse into law, wrapped it in religious justification, and calls it holy.

Twenty-seven thousand girls under 15 married in one year.

Thousands wed to men 10+ years older.

Nine-year-olds legally obligated to satisfy their "husbands" sexually.

This is demonic evil masquerading as divine law.

Iranian clerics defeat bills to stop this barbarity while defending it publicly. They cite Islamic scripture and tradition as justification for destroying children's lives. This reveals Islam's true character when implemented as state law.

Imagine if Christian pastors in America advocated marrying elementary school children. The outrage would be global and justified. Yet when Islamic clerics defend raping 9-year-olds, the West stays silent, paralyzed by multiculturalism and moral relativism.

Iran signed international conventions protecting children, then exempted anything contradicting Sharia. Translation: Islamic law supersedes human rights, children's welfare, and basic human decency.

Every Iranian cleric who defends child marriage awaits God's terrible judgment. Every man who takes a child bride commits abomination. This practice destroys lives, traumatizes innocents, and reveals the bankruptcy of any system that permits it.

Western Christians must speak truth: any religion sanctioning child marriage is evil. Any legal system permitting it is barbaric. Any culture practicing it deserves condemnation. Moral clarity demands we name this horror for what it is.
