I remember Abdu'l-Baha mentioned that women reach maturity at the age 20. | |It would seem that this quote is pertinent to this |discussion....at least |the parts of the discussion that are discussing the age of the women. | |"marriage is therefore conditional upon |reaching the age of maturity, and is not permissible |before that time." | | (Baha'u'llah, The Kitab-i-Aqdas, p. 133) | |Although this quotation would, obviously, not apply to times |proir to the |revelation of this law, it does seem to answer, for today, |questions about |the age of a person getting married....the age of maturity |(15) and after, |appears to be acceptable to Him. | |James |
