Marriageable age (or marriage age) is the age at which a person is allowed to marry, either as of right or subject to parental or other forms of consent. The age and other requirements vary between countries. The marriage age should not be confused with the age of majority or the age of consent. The marriage age in a country may be below the age of majority and the age of consent that applies in that country. Additionally, the age at which a person is legally permitted to engage in sexual activity may be below the marriage age.

By country

The following is an incomplete list of marriageable ages in various countries. The list is current, and does not treat the topic in history.

What was the real age of Aisha (RA) when married?
Q. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) made request to marry ten years after the beginning of the Revelation. Aisha was born 5-6 years before the beginning of revelation. Thus, it appears that the age of Aisha was 17-18 when she got married to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This point is included in full detail in the book Asr- Saadath (The Era of Bliss) by Mawlana Shibli. (Ist. 1928. 2/ 997) We can definitely conclude from the biography on Asmaa, Aisha s elder sister, that Aisha was at a marriageable age when she got married to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The old biography books write about Asmaa as follows: When Asmaa was 100 years of age, she died in the seventy third year of the Emigration (Hijrah). During the Emigration, she was exactly 27… [cont.]

A. What was the age of Aisha (ra) when she married Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and on what do you base this? What age do you think she was when she got married? (1)- Many Muslims believe that she was 6-9 years old when she married and they base this upon the Hadith. Whilst I do not reject Hadith, I have always felt that all Hadith should be subjected to greater scrutiny based upon more parameters one such being mathematical conformity. (2) - 16-19 proof: Having done research, some mathematical reasoning and having read the following scholarly articles and viewed the following video it became clear that her age was much greater, either 14-20 or 16-19. Through mathematical deduction this is abundantly clear. (2) - 16-19 proof:… [cont.]

What must I choose to keep? -- a shop or a house?
Q. I'm in marriageable age. I have found a house that is suitable for living a family-life after I will have married. I have a shop on rent that I'm not operating due to lack of time, but I hope one day I will find the time to operate it and earn something from there. The money I have is only sufficient to pay the rent of either a shop or house, but I would like to have both a house and the shop. Any advice! Thanks a lot!

A. You are renting a shop that you dont use? Get rid of it ! When you want to start a business you can rent another one! Keep the house, you will be making money from its value anyway
