The subject of child marriage per se never arises in the Qur'an. Yet scholars were more or less unanimous that the Qur'an deals indirectly with the topic. The Qur'an lays down strict rules for how long a woman must wait in between the end of one marriage and the beginning of another. The purpose of this in a pre-modern, patriarchal society was to ensure that a woman would not marry a new man while pregnant from her last husband and impute fathership of her baby to the wrong husband. Pursuant to these rules {{Quran|2|228}} stipulates a waiting period ([['Iddah|'Iddah]]) of 3 months after divorce, while {{Quran|33|49}} states that no waiting period is prescribed for a woman who has ''not'' had intimate contact with her husband. However, the Quran also clarifies a number of other scenarios in verse {{Quran|65|4}}, including that there is also a 3 month waiting period for "those who have not menstruated".  
Le sujet du mariage des enfants en soi n'est jamais abordé dans le Coran. Pourtant, les savants étaient plus ou moins unanimes pour dire que le Coran traite indirectement du sujet. Le Coran établit des règles strictes concernant la durée pendant laquelle une femme doit attendre entre la fin d'un mariage et le début d'un autre. Le but de cela dans une société prémoderne et patriarcale était de s'assurer qu'une femme ne se marie pas avec un nouvel homme alors qu'elle est enceinte de son dernier mari et n'impute pas la paternité de son bébé au mauvais mari. Conformément à ces règles, le [[Qur'an|Coran 2:228]] stipule une période d'attente ([['Iddah|'Iddah]]) ode 3 mois après le divorce, tandis que le [[Qur'an|Coran 33:49]] indique qu'aucune période d'attente n'est prescrite pour une femme qui n'a pas eu de contact intime avec son mari. Cependant, le Coran clarifie également un certain nombre d'autres scénarios dans le verset [[Qur'an|65:4 du Coran]], notamment qu'il existe également une période d'attente de 3 mois pour "celles qui n'ont pas eu leurs règles".  


This has been interpreted in the Islamic tradition to mean that the [[Qur'an]] supports marrying prepubescent girls. Jurists were unanimous that a father could contract his child in marriage at any age, while the family was to hand over the daughter to her husband for consummation when she could physically tolerate intercourse without physical harm (see [[Child Marriage in Islamic Law]]). Some Quran commentators and modernist Muslims mention opinions that {{Quran|65|4}} may refer rather to women whose menstruation has been interrupted (for example, due to illness) and interpret the Quran as sanctioning marriage only with those who have reached puberty.
