Answer: No doubt, there are some commentators who make the fourth verse of Su#rah 65 as basis of their opinion that Islam has allowed marriage and its consummation with minor girls. However, in my opinion, marriage with minor girls is an issue which has not been discussed by the Qur’a#n at all. It has been left to us so that we can have the liberty to adopt any of the two options according to our circumstances.
However, the verse you have quoted, in my opinion, has nothing to do with this issue. If the linguistic principles of the Arabic language are taken into consideration, the correct translation of the last part of this verse is:
- And those women whose menstrual courses have not begun
in spite of the fact that they have reached the age in which women normally
have menses, their waiting period is three months as well. (65:4)
This translation stems from the fact
that the Arabic particle used for negation in this verse is Lam 
and not Ma#  .
The verse is generally translated by disregarding this subtle difference
as: |
- And those women whose menstrual courses have not begun,
their waiting period is three months as well. (65:4)
