Key Aspects of Marriage Age in Islam:

• Puberty & Maturity: Marriage is generally considered permissible upon reaching puberty (

  ) and, more importantly, having the maturity (

  ) to manage a household.
• No Fixed Age: The Qur'an and Sunnah do not set a numerical age. The focus is on the capability of the individuals to handle marital responsibilities.

Iran has set an age for being married off. There are other cultures that do the same thing but not as young I believe.
Not that I can do anything about it but it just seems a little sick and twisted.

In Iran, the age of majority (legal adulthood) is 9 years for girls and 15 years for boys (Article 1210 of the Civil Code, 1991). While marriageable age is defined at 13 years for girls and 15 years for boys, there is no specific age limit for marriage in Iran and marriage is possible at any age (Amendment of Article 1041 of the Civil Code, 1041, 2002).

I hope things change for the better for these young girls.
