The Author Said:
Even up till today child marriages are happening in so many societies like in Islamic societies. Children of 9 years old are getting married (mostly young girls marrying older men). And they're giving birth at ages 13-15 too.

Constructive debate invitation!
One needs to review the literature and references very well. No matter which theology you are having, Holy books don't endorse child marriage. When it comes to survival many forbidden things are even made choices but on conditions of only survival and in this case of marriage I don't think that any book will reflect such a point.
About marriage, Islam clearly indicates the terms and conditions and puberty is the first one, one is not allowed to have any relationships when the partner hasn't gained maturity(consent is crucial in all cases) so why you will say that religion authorizes this injustice of child marriage from either gender??? @nevies If you want to glance follow the link
. But child marriages are non-supportive and unlawful everywhere. It's a ruthlessness to do so or blame anyone for this.
The custom of an area has not necessarily do to with the religion of the state. People are not necessarily following the theological guideline but the customs and traditions of the geographical culture.
Islam has clear guidelines about marriages. Puberty and consent of the girls is a necessity
