All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

As a matter of Sharia policy, the Jordanian Personal Status Law has restricted the marriage of individuals below the age of puberty or legal maturity. Article (10/A) of the Jordanian Personal Status Law No. (19) Of 2019 states: "The eligibility for marriage requires that both the groom and the bride be of sound mind and that each has reached eighteen solar years of age."

By way of exception, the law permits individuals who have reached the age of sixteen to marry, provided they obtain the approval of the Chief Justice after verifying mutual consent and that the marriage serves a valid interest. Article (10/B) of the same law states: "Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (A) of this article, the judge, with the approval of the Chief Justice, and after verifying the presence of consent and choice, may allow, in special cases, the marriage of someone who has reached sixteen solar years of age according to specific instructions issued for this purpose, if the marriage is deemed necessary and in the best interest. Anyone who marries under these conditions acquires full legal capacity in all matters related to marriage, separation, and their consequences."

In conclusion, nowadays, the marriage of individuals below the legal age of maturity is regulated by the Personal Status Law, which must be adhered to and referred to. It is necessary to consult the Sharia courts for every marriage case involving individuals who have not yet reached the legal age of maturity, to review its validity and issue a ruling on it. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
