What is the suitable age for marriage for men and women, because some young women do not accept marriage from those who are older than them? mar an ceudna, some men do not marry women who are older than them. We request a response and may Allah reward you with goodness.

Freagairt: I advise young women not to refuse marriage from a man due to his age, such as being ten, twenty or thirty years older than her. This is not a reason, because the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi was salam, married ‘A’ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, when he was fifty-three years old and she was a girl of nine years old. So being older does not harm. There is no sin in the woman being older, nor any sin in the man being older, because the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi was salam, married Khadijah, may Allaah be pleased with her, when she was forty years old and he was twenty-five years old, before the Revelation came to him, sallallaahu alayhi was salam; s e sin, i, may Allaah be pleased with her, was fifteen years older than him. Then he married ‘A’ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, when she was smallsix or seven years old and he was fifty-three years old.

Many of those who speak on the radio or television deter people from marriage between men and women of differing agesthis is all wrong & saying such things is not permissable for them. It is obligatory for a woman to look at the (prospective) cèile, and if he is righteous and suitable, she should agree, even if he is older than her. San aon dòigh, a man should devote himself to finding a righteous, religious woman, even if she is older than him, if she is still young and still fertile. In short, the age should not be an excuse and it should not be considered something shameful, as long as the man is righteous and the woman is righteous. May Allaah reform the situation of us all.

40 Beachdan to The Suitable Age For Marriage?

  1. I am new to Islam! I do not attend Mosque, because I don’t know if it is appropriate to go before Allah (pbuh) in prayer where men and women pray together under one roof. I need guidance!

  2. @toja, i will advice u u to meet some islamic scholars to guide u through because for new converts u have to take a birth i.e purify urself and it is very easy. assuming i know ur gender,i would have loved to put u through. be assure that u have made a wise decision in ur life.
    sallam alehikum

  3. 10 yrs makes sense..but 20 neo 30 yrs differencethats a whole generation gap!!..i agree the prophet married Khadija when he was 25 and Aisha when she was only 9..but that was back then and that was the prophet..Islam is a religion that has withstood the test of time, its dynamic in a way..so when it comes to marriage today..lets be more realistic!

  4. it’s not normal 2 marry 6 neo 7 years old girl. she is still a child. i dnt believe that our prophet(pbuh) 53 years old could marry 6 years old Aisha.

    • hey..no offense but..whn ur in Islam..u shouldn’t sayI dun believe…” bcoz tht’s not allowed..i mean its considered a sin..i’d like to share an info that ‘yesits true..The prophet(S.A.W.) HAD married Hazrat Aisha when she was quiet young n he was older but i dun really knw abt their Exact ages.but its true tht had hapend.Our prophet (S.A.W.) had married several times wid difrent kind of women just to show US that marriage is allowed in what difrent cases.We can marry older or younger ppl except for ‘choiceis another thing n well..thr r different other cases too..

  5. I wish the thought that a girl cannot marry a guy 3 neo 4 years younger than him vanishes from our society.. many people have suffered losses due to this baseless thought.. May Allah give wisdom to the people having such narrow thinking and given every girl and guy whatever is good for them.. Ameen !!

  6. As salamu alaikum wtb Please, do not slander Prophet Muhammad pbuh. He left examples for us to follow. A 9yr old at that 1400 yrs ago were fully mature like how a 21 yr old girl is today. 12 yrs old boys then use to lead an army of 1000s, they were mature like our 23 yr old guys. They were much stronger physically and spiritually. Also girls are able to give birth from 9yrs upwards. Hence puberty. They were in deserts at that time and Aisha (ra) the mother of believers use to teach the hadith and also she never objected marrying early. So please girls and guys be mature, it is wisdom that u will not understand untill u fully submit to the will of Allah (feumaidh ball gealltainn gum bi e / i ag ùrnaigh a h-uile latha agus gu bheil e / i fìrinneach).

    • hey..this is trueAll such incidents of the earlier times and the laws made from that time have undergone certain modifications according to the change of times..!Not COMPLETELY though!

  7. salamu alaykum.
    it is not permissible to speak badly of the rasul (pbuh) or to disbelieve in the hadith in islam. I think we should always say what is good or be silent. every individual has his or her own preferences. the rasul (pbuh) is merely a guide for us. afterall it is not haram for you to refuse to marry a particular man or a particular girl. May Allah guide our actions. amin

  8. Jazakumlah khaeran @Abdulah n indeed everyone….Full understanding n comprehension of d Qur’an & hadith is a spiritual height attainable easily or only by total n absolute submission to Allah(feumaidh ball gealltainn gum bi e / i ag ùrnaigh a h-uile latha agus gu bheil e / i fìrinneach)’ will……Muslims shld desist from tryin 2make sense or justify d reported actions of our most noble rasul(pbuh) n d sahabas for d Qur’an was affirmative in dt he(muhammad) was d best thereof of mankind….wat is advised however is investigating hw authentic a particular hadith iswe shld remember shaytan(laanatulah alaehi) is eva ready 2do battle wt our iman(creideamh). tha e na fhìor stiùireadh air pòsadh fionnar is maireannach(feumaidh ball gealltainn gum bi e / i ag ùrnaigh a h-uile latha agus gu bheil e / i fìrinneach) forgve our sins n always set our affairs right. Ameen!

  9. Asalamu aleikum brothers and sisters.thanks 4 everything, it’s good to get married please pray for me to find a suitable man to marry.

  10. I’m a little confused reading the article , first the article mentioned 9 , an uairsin 6 neo 7 ? which is aishah’s real age? I always thought that she got married when she was about 6 neo 7 .

  11. Great post.Well is marriage is Sunat-e- Rasol, every man and women when he/she become balig than marriage is necessary for him/her.Marriage is a process where man women combine with each other and become one according to teaching of Quran.

  12. I hope people actually understand such clear concepts laid in Islam and followed by our Prophet(Ach cha robh eadhon e foirfe)…than why cant we follow Sunnah.

  13. Yes it is fine! Please tell me what’s wrong with it, besides what the west says. Mind you! this lady in topic Nana Aisha(Mother of the Faithfuls) turned out to be renowned for her scholarship among both men and women of the time. Say no to Western Brainwashing.
