Underage marriage among Muslims in Kerala ignites debate - Indian Express

Underage marriage among Muslims has ignited a debate in Kerala, with the community's most influential organisation vowing to get legitimacy for the practice while political parties and women's groups have said it would be a setback when Muslim girls have been making strides in education.

........

Outraged clerics who have pledged to fight for legitimacy say underage marriages are not common but sometimes inevitable. "We are not promoting underage marriages," says Musthafa Mundupara, who is with Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulema and is general secretary of the state coordination committee for the protection of Muslim personal law. "But certain situations may demand such marriages. The Shariah law allows Muslim girls to marry when they attain puberty."
