In most Muslim countries , laws and constitutions even when they collide with Islamic trends that have existed for the last 1,400 years, seems to have no effect.
A Nigerian senator and former governor of Zamfara State Ahmad Sani Yerima has appeared on Al- Jazeera 's "The Current " program on September 4 to say that if a Muslim boyfriend is the selection of a bride in a Muslim family problem in married , which no matter the age , no other business .

Therefore, any Muslim who marries a girl of nine years or more follow the teachings of Prophet Muhammad. Senator Yerima , 54, who married a 13-year -old in 2009, his fourth wife problem in married life , said that there was nothing wrong with his action problem in married life.
In Nigeria, NGO " Gender Network and constitutional reform" [ GECORN ] sent a letter to President of the Senate on July 24, 2013 , stressed the importance of eliminating the clause of the constitution that legitimizes child marriages . - Article 29 (4) ( b ) which reads : "No married woman is considered old age " However, the Senate committee that deals with the removal of the provision does not reach the 73 votes needed necessary to remove it.

" The Constitution says that the National Assembly to legislate on marriage as the Islamic rites ," he said .
According to the UN , 20% of Nigerian girls married at 15 . In addition, the Law on the Rights of the Child in Nigeria is not recognized in 12 states of Nigeria, with a total of 36.
Earlier this year the Maldives , a girl aged 15 , was sentenced to 100 lashes for being raped and impregnated by her stepfather .

The girl had been under house arrest on an island near the capital , Male, and his sentence. The charge against her fornication caused Avaaz demand of the global network , signed by two million people around the world, who requested the sentence be commuted. Members of the opposition have called British Prime Minister David Cameron to put pressure on the Government of Maldives .
Under Islamic law , if a woman is raped problem married life, she is guilty of adultery , unless you can provide four Muslim adult male witnesses . His punishment is stoning to death if she is married , or 100 lashes if unmarried problem married life .
According to the constitution , the Maldives is a democratic republic founded on the principles of Islam. Article 7 states that Islam is the state religion and Article 16 states that allowed for criminal defense in accordance with sharia .

"Banning child marriage , it will be difficult marriage of the Holy Prophet of Islam Islam permits child marriage and will not be tolerated if any ruler ever try to touch this issue in the name of giving more rights to women.

Only the United States spend millions of dollars to reduce maternal and child mortality , improve education, and promote the rule of law in the countries concerned . But the big question is : Is the effort to bring a solution to the problem of Islamic marriage children , as long as the preaching of the clergy are not thwarted ?
