'"Scholars have agreed that it was permissible for fathers to marry off their young daughters, even if they are in the cradle," Sheik Fawzan wrote in his fatwa. "But it isn't permissible for their husbands to have sex with them unless they are capable of being placed beneath and bearing the weight of the men."He cited the example of the prophet's wife Aisha, who he said was wed at the age of six, but didn't have sex until she was nine.'
I'll repeat part of that again: ' "... it isn't permissible for their husbands to have sex with them unless they are capable of being placed beneath and bearing the weight of the men."'
How delightful a thought that is...
More here but not on the BBC where reporting this sort of Islamic fatwa is just not done.
