The first and foremost of these rights is the right to be properly brought up, raised and educated. This means that children should be given suitable, sufficient, sound and adequate religious, ethical and moral guidance to last them for their entire lives, the Almighty stated in the Quran<br />Islam that the child marriage, i.e., marrying a girl before she matures is forbidden in Islam, therefore I believe there is confusion between the Arab culture, tradition and Islam regarding the child marriage. Marriage in Islam is regulated by certain rules, namely, children must reach puberty and maturity so that they can get married," that the child marriage, i.e., marrying a girl before she matures is forbidden in Islam<br />Children are not only to be well-fed, well-groomed, properly dressed for the weather and for appearance, well-taken care of in terms of housing and utilities. It is more important to offer the child comparable care in terms of educational, religious training, and spiritual guidance. Proper education and guidance is far more important to a child than this food, grooming and appearance. Islam sees that if parents fulfill their duties towards all their children in terms of providing them with necessary training, educational backing, moral, ethical and religious education, this will definitely lead to a more caring child, a better family atmosphere and a better social environment and awareness. On the other hand, any negligence in those parental duties can lead to the loss of a child or ill treatment of the parents at a later age. <br />For instance, Islam, referred as a violent religion. Clearly, people are unaware of the official designation “Religion of Peace”. Its same thing, terrorism killings, and flying airliners into buildings these acts have no relevance to Islam at all and its wrong<br />In conclusion, we need to understand the difference between Culture/tradition and Religion. Child marriage has no base in Islam.<br /><br />Qoran Noor.<br />Independent Consultant<br />Nairobi, KenyaQoran Noornoreply@blogger.com
