OBJECTION EXPLAINED – Puberty Ko Nikah Ki Umar Ka Scale Kyun Banaya Gaya?
Ek atheist/ex-Muslim ne objection uthaya ke Islam me nikah ki age puberty kyun rakhi gayi hai, jabke puberty tak to log abhi mentally mature nahi hote. Wo kehte hain ke 12–14 saal ke ladke-ladki abhi emotionally aur mentally bache hote hain, unke upar shaadi ka bojh dalna zulm hai. Unhone modern society ka reference diya jahan shaadi career ke baad hoti hai.
SHORT ANSWER – Puberty Cause Nahi, Sirf Sign Hai Maturity Ka
Mufti Yasir ne bataya ke puberty koi final rule nahi, ye sirf ek natural sign hai ke banda physical aur mental maturity ki daira me aa chuka hai. Asli scale rushd hai – yaani mental maturity aur zimmedari uthana. Aur Quran me bhi nikah ki age rushd se connect ki gayi hai, sirf age number se nahi.
DETAILED ANSWER – Islam Maturity Ko Kaise Define Karta Hai?
Mufti Yasir ne Surah Nisa ayah 6 ka reference diya jisme kaha gaya:
“Yateemon ko test karo jab tak wo nikah ki age ko na pahunch jayein. Jab tum unme rushd (maturity) pao, to unki property unke hawale kar do.”
Yani:
- Nikah ki age ≠ fixed number (jaise 18, 21).
- Rushd yaani zimmedari uthana, samajhdaari se faisla lena, society me mature hona – ye asal criteria hai.
- Puberty ek hormonal aur physical transformation hai jisse body aur mind dono evolve karte hain. Ye ek natural marker hai, lekin final decision rushd par depend karta hai.
Mufti Yasir ne ye bhi clarify kiya ke agar puberty aa jaye, lekin bachpan jaisi mental halat ho, to nikah karna Islam me bhi discouraged hai. Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi ne bhi 100 saal pehle yahi kaha ke child marriage galat hai, aur bachpan me nikah nahi karna chahiye jab tak proper maturity na ho.
OBJECTION FLAWS – Jo Baten Is Objection Me Galat Hain
1. Misunderstanding Puberty as a Rule:
Puberty rule nahi, sirf sign hai ke maturity shuru ho chuki hai. Islam ne ise cause nahi banaya.
2. Ignoring Rushd Concept:
Islam sirf physical maturity nahi dekhta, rushd ko bhi check karta hai – jo Quranic principle hai.
3. Over-Reliance on Age:
Modern secular system sirf age dekh kar adult declare karta hai, jabke Islam context aur maturity dekh kar.
4. Liberal Hypocrisy:
Mufti Yasir ne bataya ke liberal log pets ko toddlers ke hawale karte hain taake wo zimmedari seekhein, lekin jab wahi ladka 18 ka hota hai to use family handle karne laayak nahi samjhte.
5. Western System is Career-Centric, Not Family-Centric:
Modern system me shaadi tab hoti hai jab career ban jaye, yani 28–30 ke baad, jabke Islam me family aur modesty ko pehle rakha gaya hai.
FINAL THOUGHTS – Maturity Ek Process Hai, Sirf Number Nahi
Islam zindagi ke har stage me fitrah aur aqal dono ko balance karta hai. Puberty ko scale banana isliye zaruri tha, kyunki ye naturally bata deta hai ke ab insan zimmedari ke qabil ho raha hai. Har case me rushd dekh kar hi nikah ki ijazat hai. Modern system ne jab marriage ko delay kiya, to society me zina, porn, loneliness aur relationship collapse jaise musibatain barh gayi.
Islam ek protective framework deta hai, jisme maturity ka scale fitrah se jura hota hai, aur har shakhs ke liye customized hota hai — sirf ek number ke based par nahi.
