As for those of your women who have reached menopause, if you have any doubts, their term shall be three months-and also for those who have not yet menstruated. As for those who are pregnant, their term shall be until they have delivered. Whoever fears God-He will make things easy for him.
Does the Qur'an sanction child marriage?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 65:4 For such of your women as despair of menstruation, if ye doubt, their period (of waiting) shall be three months, ALONG WITH THOSE WHO HAVE IT NOT; and for those with child, their period is till they bring forth. In because it is the verse the claim rests on entirely, and because the disputed clause must be shown in its actual setting - a rule about waiting periods after divorce, not a rule about marrying.
- 02 4:6 Prove orphans till they reach the marriageable age; then if ye find them of sound judgment, deliver over unto them their fortune. In because it is the only place the text sets a test for readiness, and the test is two-part - an age reached AND sound judgment found. ALSO CARRIED by What does the Qur'an say about caring for the poor and the orphan?, with a different reason there.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The Qur'an sets no marriage age. It gives no number anywhere, and a reader should be told that before anything else.
The claim rests on one clause in one verse. 65:4 is a passage about WAITING PERIODS after divorce - how long a woman waits before she may remarry. It sets three months for those past menstruation, and then adds: along with those who have it not. Because a waiting period presupposes a marriage that has ended, the clause is read by some as implying that a girl who has not yet menstruated could be married and divorced.
That is an inference, and it should be labelled as one. The verse is not legislating who may marry; it is stating a waiting rule. Others read the same clause as covering women who do not menstruate for other reasons - and the phrase is genuinely open in the Arabic. This study does not resolve that, and it will not pretend the clause is not there.
4:6 is the only place the text speaks about readiness at all, and it is instructive that it does so about PROPERTY rather than marriage. Test orphans until they reach the marriageable age; THEN, if you find them of sound judgment, hand over their wealth. Two conditions, not one: a stage of life reached, and a judgment about the person made. The text is willing to say that arriving at an age is not by itself sufficient for being handed control of your own affairs.
What the text does not contain: an age, a minimum, a maximum, or a ruling on the marriage of children. What the tradition contains - reports about specific marriages, and the long legal argument about capacity and consent - is , sira and fiqh, none of which has cleared the rights audit. The study What does the Qur'an say about a woman's consent to marriage? takes up a woman's consent to marriage, which bears directly on this.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.
What this rests on
Opens with 65:4, widening across 2 passages in all.
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

Und diejenigen von euren Frauen, die keine Menstruation mehr erwarten, wenn ihr Zweifel habt, so beträgt ihre Wartezeit drei Monate; und ebenso derjenigen, die (noch) keine Menstruation haben.

Om ni är osäkra kring väntetiden för de av era kvinnor vars menstruation har upphört [för gott], är den tre månader, och samma gäller för de som inte får menstruation. För gravida är väntetiden tills de föder sitt barn. Den som fruktar Gud ska han göra det lätt för.

And examine the orphans until they attain the age of marriage: But if ye perceive they are able to manage their affairs well, deliver their substance unto them; and waste it not extravagantly, or hastily, because they grow up. Let him who is rich abstain entirely from the orphans estates; and let him who is poor take thereof according to what shall be reasonable. And when ye deliver their substance unto them, call witnesses thereof in their presence: God taketh sufficient account of your actions

- Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

Vërini në provë jetimët derisa të arrijnë moshën e martesës[3]. Nëse vëreni se janë pjekur, atëherë dorëzojuani pasurinë e tyre dhe mos e shpenzoni atë duke e shpërdorur e duke nxituar për ta harxhuar para se të rriten. Ai që është i pasur, le të përmbahet, kurse ai që është i varfër, le të shpenzojë prej saj në mënyrë të arsyeshme. Kur t'ua dorëzoni atyre pasurinë, bëjeni këtë para dëshmitarëve. Mjafton që Allahu është Dëshmitar dhe Ai që merr në llogari.
আর ইয়াতিমদেরকে যাচাই-পরীক্ষা করতে থাকো; যে পর্যন্ত না তারা বিবাহযোগ্য (সাবালক) হয়(৩)। অতঃপর তাদের মধ্যে ভালো-মন্দ যাচাই করার যোগ্যতা দেখতে পেলে তাদের সম্পদ তাদেরকে ফিরিয়ে দাও। তারা বড় হয়ে (তাদের সম্পদ ফেরত নিবে এ ভয়ে) তাদের সম্পদ অপচয় করে তাড়াতাড়ি খেয়ে ফেলো না। যে সম্পদশালী সে যেন বিরত থাকে এবং যে অভাবী সে যেন সংগত পরিমাণে ভোগ করে। অতঃপর তোমরা যখন তাদেরকে তাদের সম্পদ হস্তান্তর করবে, তখন সাক্ষী রেখো। আর হিসেব গ্রহণে আল্লাহই যথেষ্ট।
I iskušavajte siročad dok ne stasaju za brak, pa ako se uvjerite da su zreli, uručite im imetke njihove. I ne trošite ih rasipnički i u žurbi, prije nego odrastu. Ko je imućan neka se suzdrži, a ko je siromašan, neka troši onoliko koliko je neophodno. A kada im imetke uručujete, to učinite u prisustvu svjedoka; a dosta je što će se pred Allahom račun polagati.

და გამოსცადეთ ობლები (რომლებიც თქვენს მზრუნველობაში არიან) — (შეამოწმეთ მათი უნარი სწორად განკარგონ ქონება) — ვიდრე ისინი მიაღწევენ ქორწინების ასაკს. და თუ შეამჩნევთ მათში სიმართლესა და სისწორეს [რწმენაში სიმტკიცეს და ქონების მართვის უნარს], მაშინ გადაეცით მათ მათი ქონება. და ნუ შეჭამთ მას [ობლების ქონებას] ფლანგვითა და აჩქარებით, სანამ ისინი გაიზრდებიან. ხოლო ვინც (თქვენგან) მდიდარია, თავი შეიკავოს (და არაფერი აიღოს ობლის ქონებიდან); და ვინც ღარიბია, ჭამოს ზომიერად [საჭიროების მიხედვით], როცა იძულებულია. და როდესაც მათ [ობლებს] გადასცემთ მათ ქონებას, აიყვანეთ მოწმეები. და საკმარისია ის, რომ ალლაჰი ანგარიშს აწარმოებს!
Und prüft die Waisen, bis dass sie das Heiratsalter erreicht haben. Wenn ihr sodann an ihnen richtiges Handeln feststellt, so händigt ihnen ihren Besitz aus. Und verzehrt ihn nicht maßlos und ihrem Erwachsenwerden zuvorkommend. Wer nun reich ist, der soll sich enthalten; und wer arm ist, der soll in rechtlicher Weise (davon) zehren. Wenn ihr ihnen dann ihren Besitz aushändigt, so nehmt Zeugen vor ihnen. Und Allah genügt als Abrechner.
Και να δοκιμάζετε τα ορφανά (που κοντεύουν να φτάσουν στην εφηβεία, με το να τους δώσετε ένα μικρό ποσό από την περιουσία τους, για να ξέρετε την ικανότητά τους να διαθέτουν σωστά τα χρήματά τους) μέχρι να φτάσουν στην ηλικία του γάμου. Έπειτα, αν αντιληφθείτε σ’ αυτά ορθή κρίση, δώστε τους την περιουσία τους. Και μην επιδιώκετε να την καταναλώνετε με σπατάλη και γρήγορα, φοβούμενοι πως θα μεγαλώσουν (και θα την πάρουν). Και όποιος (από τους κηδεμόνες) είναι πλούσιος, ας αποφύγει να πάρει (από τα λεφτά του ορφανού), μα αν είναι φτωχός, ας τρώει (πάρει) σύμφωνα με αυτό που είναι δίκαιο και λογικό (που καλύπτει τις ανάγκες του). Έπειτα, όταν τους δώσετε την περιουσία τους, φέρτε μάρτυρες γι' αυτό. Και επαρκεί ο Αλλάχ ως Μάρτυρας και για να τους καλέσει σε απολογισμό.»
तथा अनाथों को जाँचते रहो, यहाँ तक कि जब वे वयस्कता की आयु को पहुँच जाएँ, तो यदि तुम देखो कि उनमें समझ-बूझ आ गई है, तो उनका माल उन्हें सौंप दो। और उसे फ़िज़ूल खर्ची से काम लेते हुए जल्दी-जल्दी इसलिए न खा जाओ कि वे बड़े हो जाएँगे (और अपने माल पर क़ब्ज़ा कर लेंगे)। और जो धनी हो, वह (अनाथ का माल खाने से) बचे तथा जो निर्धन हो, वह परंपरागत रूप से खा सकता है। तथा जब तुम उनका धन उनके हवाले करो, तो उनपर गवाह बना लो। और अल्लाह हिसाब लेने के लिए काफ़ी है।
Mettete gli orfani alla prova finché saranno maturi. Se vedete che sono devoti, riaffidategli i loro averi e non li mangiate in vane spese prima che siano cresciuti. Chi è ricco se ne astenga, ma chi è povero sia moderato nello spendere; e quando dovete restituire i loro beni, fatelo in presenza di testimoni, e Allāh è sufficiente come testimone.
6. Ir išbandykite našlaičius (dėl jų protinių gabumų) kol jie pasieks santuokinį amžių. Jei tada manote juos esant sveiko proto, perleiskite jų nuosavybę jiems. Tačiau, neeikvokite jos nuostolingai ir neapgalvotai, bijodami, kad jie užaugs. Ir kas (iš globėjų) yra turtingas, neturėtų imti atlygio, tačiau jei jis vargšas, lai jis turi sau tai, kas yra teisinga ir pagrįsta (atsižvelgiant į jo darbą). O kai jūs perleidžiate jų nuosavybę jiems, turėkite liudytojus jų akivaizdoje. Ir Allahas yra Visiškai Pakankamas atsiskaityti.

И испытывайте сирот, пока они не достигнут брачного возраста. И если вы заметите в них благоразумие, то отдайте им их имущество. Не присваивайте его расточительно и поспешно, опасаясь, что они повзрослеют. Кто богат, пусть воздержится; а кто беден, пусть пользуется согласно одобряемому. Когда вы передаёте им их имущество, то призовите свидетелей при этом. Достаточно Аллаха как ведущего счёт.
И проверавајте сирочад док не стасају за брак, па ако се уверите да су зрели, уручите им њихове имовине. И не трошите их расипнички и у журби, пре него што одрасту. Ко је имућан нека се суздржи, а ко је сиромашан, нека троши онолико колико је неопходно. А када им имовину уручујете, то учините у присуству сведока; а доста је што ће пред Аллахом да се полаже рачун.
Na wajaribuni mayatima mpaka wanapofikia umri wa kuoa. Mkiona uamuzi wa busara ndani yao, basi wapeni mali zao. Wala msizile kwa kupitiliza na mapema mapema kwa kuwa watakuja kuwa watu wazima. Na yule ambaye ni tajiri, basi na ajizuilie. Na yule ambaye ni fakiri, basi na ale kwa wema. Na mtakapowapa mali zao, basi washuhudisheni mashahidi juu yao. Na Mwenyezi Mungu anatosha kuwa Mhasibu.
Pröva de faderlösa när de når mogen ålder. Om ni finner dem förståndiga, överlämna då deras tillgångar till dem. Förbruka dem inte slösaktigt eller i förtid av rädsla [att de ska ta dem] när de växt upp. Den som är förmögen ska avstå, och den som är behövande får ta i skälig omfattning. När ni sedan överlämnar deras tillgångar till dem, gör det då i närvaro av vittnen; och Gud är tillräcklig för att ställa människor till svars.
Yetimleri nikah çağına gelinceye kadar deneyin. Evlenme çağına (büluğa) erdiklerinde, eğer reşid olduklarını görürseniz, mallarını kendilerine verin. Büyüyecekler (ve mallarını geri alacaklar) diye israf ederek ve aceleye getirerek mallarını yemeyin. (Velilerden) kim zengin ise (yetim malından yemeğe) tenezzül etmesin. Kim de fakir ise, aklın ve dinin gereklerine uygun bir biçimde (hizmetinin karşılığı kadar) yesin. Mallarını kendilerine geri verdiğiniz zaman da yanlarında şahit bulundurun. Hesap görücü olarak Allah yeter.
اور یتیموں کو ان کے بالﻎ ہو جانے تک سدھارتے اور آزماتے رہو پھر اگر ان میں تم ہوشیاری اور حسن تدبیر پاؤ تو انہیں ان کے مال سونﭗ دو اور ان کے بڑے ہو جانے کے ڈر سے ان کے مالوں کو جلدی جلدی فضول خرچیوں میں تباه نہ کر دو، مال داروں کو چاہئے کہ (ان کے مال سے) بچتے رہیں، ہاں مسکین محتاج ہو تو دستور کے مطابق واجبی طور سے کھالے، پھر جب انہیں ان کے مال سونپو تو گواه بنا لو، دراصل حساب لینے واﻻ اللہ تعالیٰ ہی کافی ہے۔[1]

Give women their dowries graciously. But if they willingly forego some of it, then consume it with enjoyment and pleasure.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it4 of the 5 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 65:4, 4:6, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.
How this set was arrived at. The verse set was chosen by the Editor before the study was written, and is NOT a search result. No word search was run, because on this question a word search would have found the wrong verses or missed the point of the passage.
Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.
Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
