They talk like this, but if their male friend tried to marry their 9 year old daughter, they would get angry.

You are asking me fiqh questions which I do not have much knowledge of. But to get to the point, I do not see an issue with a halal legitimate nikkah. So yes, I have no issue with a grade 4 student getting married as long as they have reached puberty and fulfill whatever else the shariah requires.
Marriage is a good thing, it is evil or inescapable if it does not work out with the partner. It is halal and encouraged. What is evil is zina.

As a Wali, why would you refuse your daughter to a man who is a good Muslim. He is attracted to your 9 year old girl, let him take her?You are now moving goal posts. The wali has a right to approve or not of their childs marriage and to whom and for what reason.
What we are discussing is Islamic law. This is the religion of Islam and its laws, what Muslims believe in.
Do you believe in the Islamic ruling that marriage is permissible at puberty? Or do you believe marriage at puberty is immoral? That is the cruz of the discussion. Islams position is clear.
I believe I answered your question
The things, none of these men live the lives they preach. They donβt live it and they wouldnβt want it for any child under their care. Everything is theory for them but the poor young kid in a poverty stricken country will have to live the reality of what theyβre preaching.As a Wali, why would you refuse your daughter to a man who is a good Muslim. He is attracted to your 9 year old girl, let him take her?
Puberty is not the only measure of being ready for intercourse let alone marriage. This is 2024, not 1500 years ago, when people had to grow up much quicker.

As mentioned, you are moving goal posts. I mentioned parents can choose to approve or deny we are not in disagreement over that. We are not in disagreement over when a particular person and their context is best suited for marriage.
The crux of the discussion is if you think marriage at puberty is moral or immoral as Islamic law stipulates? I have made my position clear and you should too.

The issue is that Iβd have to deny medical realities to believe that as soon as a girl gets her period sheβd be ready. Some 9 yr olds get their period, in fact one of the lowest recorded ages is like 8. There are cases of girls in Yemen dying due to intercourse at 8/9 as their bodies arenβt developed and children that young simply canβt consent which is why in Eastern countries such marriages are usually forced with sometimes the girls not even understanding whatβs to come.As mentioned, you are moving goal posts.

The thing is mental development isnβt in line with girls period. If you think that a child that canβt even wrap her mind around sex is ready who has the body of CHILD, then this more than just morality, itβs the denial of scientific evidence via actual deaths and harm of actual girls that has happened to.
I am not moving goal posts, since you believe menstruation is the age for marital suitability. My question is, why would you refuse your friend the right to marry your 9 year old? Is your friend not a good Muslim man who can provide? Does he not have the right to be attracted to your girl?
I think it's immoral to marry little girls in this modern time, absolutely. Unless that girl, somehow, is from a stone-age society and she has been adultified early on. And even then, I look at the girls physical development and the age of her suitor.
You are, you are adding separate criteria which we already know exists. We are speaking about the criteria of age/puberty alone right now. Hypothetically, you can imagine all other criteria you are thinking of is met. Is the age of 9 still a problem for you when all other criteria including puberty and whatever else you imagine is there.
I see, you have said you think it is immoral *now*. But it was moral in the past? You need to sort out that cognitive dissonance. The laws of Islam never change.

If you could answer my question before I go. Do you believe the Islamic position that marriage is permissible at puberty is moral or immoral?

I have no reason to believe scientific studies usually conducted by NGO's that have an agenda against Islam and Muslims.
Muslims and all people were marrying young throughout human history, it has never been a problem anywhere until modern times because the dominant ideology is liberalism and it has an issue with family and marriage in general.
Beyond that, puberty is not the only criteria for marriage and usually parents do consider their childrens overall state before approving a marriage. It is the parents who care most for their children and their well-being more then some strangers and ideologically motivated NGO's. We are not going to pretend they are more concerned for Muslim children than their own parents.
