Why 9 years old though? It's way to young on anyone's calendar, surely? How did they come up with this age?

I don't claim to actually know, but I guess it's because it's about the age that girls might start to menstruate. Marriage there is about having children, so no point in marrying someone too young to get pregnant.

In Saudi 8 children was probably on the low side of offspring.

I thought menstruation starts at age 10 to 15?

 

Is it 9 now?

More barbaric, middle ages policy from the land of misogyny, and abuse. Why are men from that region so spectacularly ignorant? 

Whereas you come from the USA  who just voted in a convicted felon, rapist, sex pest who walks into children’s dressing rooms when they are getting changed and fraudster to be their next president.

 

Why are you people so spectacularly ignorant?

Girls are apparently maturing earlier now, so while I said I didn't know, I'm guessing that is a factor. What else is there? Do you have a better reason?

 

In any event I doubt a girl not menstruating would be allowed to marry, regardless of the law.
