Muslims justify child marriages using verses from the [[Quran|Qur'an]], that clearly advocate the practice. The Qur'an cannot be questioned by Muslims since it's not simply considered to be 'inspired'. but the very words of [[Allah]], uttered by his final messenger [[Muhammad]]. In Islam, moral relativism cannot be applied, as the Qur'an is Allah's eternal message to mankind and is as relevant today as it were when the [[revelations]] first escaped Muhammad lips. | Muslims justify child marriages using verses from the [[Quran|Qur'an]], that clearly advocate the practice.
