Just so we are clear on what kind of regime we are dealing with… Ayatollah Khomenei on child marriage: “It’s not permissible to have vaginal intercourse with a wife before she completes 9 years [of age], whether the marriage is permanent or temporary. As for other enjoyments — such as touching with lust, embracing, and thighing (rubbing between the thighs) — there is no objection to them, even with a suckling infant. If he has vaginal intercourse with her before [the age of] nine and does not cause ifda' (injury), nothing results from it except sin, according to the stronger opinion. If he causes ifda' — by making the urinary and menstrual passages one, or the menstrual and fecal passages one — vaginal intercourse with her becomes permanently forbidden to him forever; however, this is according to caution in the second case. In any case, she does not exit from being his wife according to the stronger opinion, so the rulings of marriage apply to her: inheritance, the prohibition of a fifth [wife], the prohibition of her sister along with her, and other [rulings]. He is obligated to provide her maintenance (nafaqah) as long as she lives, even if he divorces her, and even if she marries after the divorce — according to caution; indeed, this is not devoid of strength [i.e., it has weight]. He is also obligated to pay the diyah (blood money) for the ifda', which is the diyah of a soul [full blood money]. If she is free, she is entitled to half the diyah of a man, in addition to the mahr (dowry) that she is entitled to by the contract and the consummation. If he has intercourse with his wife after she completes nine [years] and causes ifda', she is not forbidden to him, and the diyah is not due; however, the cautious opinion is to provide maintenance for her as long as she lives, though the stronger opinion is that it is not obligatory”
