Classical muslim family law

The entire Muslim community has been associated with stringent laws right across all age groups. But the Muslims themselves do not argue against these rules. Some people who are not Muslims applaud these rules. A passage in the Muslim laws will be picked and analyzed in this paper and demonstrate the degree of thought in the sentence that is picked.
The classical Muslim family law.
Every phrase of the law has weight in all countries and states where the federal system is in use. The text or sentence in the Muslim family law is, “the minimum age of marriage is 18 for males and 16 for females, with provision for judicial permission for underage marriages.” This kind of text in the family Muslim law has a lot of questions to be asked and provokes thoughts about its legitimacy and why it was decided so. The reason why all these questions and thoughts keep me longing for answers is about the age.
In the ancient times and the recent past this age was appropriate and the society was more organized than today. Old people especially the grand parents guided young people towards informed choices on marriage and the conducting of family affairs. Today pressures and pleasures of modern times especially the difficult economic times parents have no time to talk to their children. Careers have also changed societal mannerisms whereby people live in towns to advance their education and other feel they are qualified to be towns and not in their rural homes hence forcing their children to miss wise counsels from grand parents.
Another challenge concerning this marriage age is the timing because many children of this age bracket still go to school and some colleges, but the majority may be in high schools. This will give the children freedom to get married while in school or run away from school and get eloped. The most disadvantaged category is girls because their age has been reduced bearing in mind that they are the most vulnerable. My thinking prefers the law to be changed and increase to twenty one (21) and above.
The law further allows marriage even below the specified but does not provide the lower limit. This is dangerous because even children of age ten can get married. Even though it has a provision that in this extreme lower ages, permission must be granted by grown ups, this is not enough to protect children from exploitation. Rogue parents may decide to marry off their children especially without anybody questioning its legality because the act is provided in the law.
Conclusion.
There are many laws that were enacted long time ago that need overhaul removal and not even amendments that should be recommended. This will enable our people to get educated by changing these laws and highlighting their negative impact in the society. However not all ancient family laws are demeaning.
