The Chief Imam of the Nasrul-lahi-li Fathi Society of Nigeria (NASFAT), Abdul Azeez Onike, says Islam supports underage marriage.

He, however, noted that the religion did not support such marriage if it exposes the wife to dangers.

Mr Onike, who doubles as NASFAT chief missioner, stated this in Lagos at a press conference and campaign to halt violence against women and girls in the country.

The campaign, ‘Ending Violence Against Women and Girls,’ was organised by NASFAT with support from UNICEF under EU-UN Spotlight.

According to NASFAT’s boss, what matters in a marriage is the couple’s ability to shoulder their marital responsibilities.

Mr Onike insisted that the Islamic scripture was clear about marriage instead of using contemporary standards to determine it.

“Self-evident truth is what the scripture says in this regard. If medically a child, because of age, is exposed to sexually transmitted infections, death at childbirth, such marriage is unjust,” stated the NASFAT leader.

He pointed out, “As a person, you must be seen to be promoting mercy and any form of violence against women and girls. God frowns at it.

“The women around us should be cherished and protected in all that we do as a people, for without them, humanity is threatened.”

Mr Onike charged the campaigners to work hard to ensure that violence against girls and women is eliminated in society….
 
The resident mudslimes whore n his minions sure are happy that such a matter has been endorsed n approved n leegalised
 
Nope. In the first place no such thing as a imam if you are a believer.
 
we are talking about secular cases but religiously related ones and to a particular 'perfected' religion.
All women are required to give assent for marriage in Islam. They have a right to refuse. If after puberty they want to marry, by all means.

Its a lot better than sex outside marriage.
