  • The way this headline is phrased, it implies he is defending a specific marriage, perhaps even his own.

    This isn’t what happened, even according to the article itself.

    Quote (machine translated):

    During the recording, the journalist inquired about the age at which a young woman would be considered an adult according to the Quran. The imam responded that adulthood is linked to the menstrual cycle. Ali Kashif stated that a 9-year-old girl could be considered an adult from a scientific standpoint.

    Pretty far from advocating child marriage.

    EDIT: To clarify, it sounded to me like he was answering in an abstract, academic “this is what the book says” kind of way, and being taken out of context. Seems like I was wrong, and he’s actually just like that.
