Jurisprudential and legal review of the pre-puberty period in Islamic religions

In Islamic jurisprudence, puberty is a condition of the veracity of many rules and regulations. Maturity is a stage of age, during which changes occur in the person's organs, feelings and thoughts. Imams' jurists have not defined the concept of maturity, but some of the natural and the external signs, such as reaching a certain age, have been identified as the mark of maturity, and in the expression of this meaning they refer to the two words "marriage maturity" and "aging puberty" . The majority of Shi'a scholars have considered the age of puberty 9 years old in girls and 15 years old in boys, which is why the civil code has expressed the same age as maturity. The minimum age that Sunni jurisprudents have mentioned as adolescents is 15 years of age if the person has not been given prior or prior consent. It is not enough to achieve sexual maturity for marriage, but also the ability to carry and develop psychological and emotional, which usually does not occur until a few years after sexual maturity. The child's coupling before the age of marriage by the wali is conditional on the child's expediency and, given the circumstances of today, such expediency rarely occurs, therefore the expediency of such a coupling must be established by the court. In the Iranian legal system, in Article 1041 of the Civil Code: "The marriage contract of a girl before reaching the age of 13 years, the whole of the sons and sons before reaching the age of 15, shall be subject to admission but on the condition that it is expedient to determine the competent court.
