We understand throughout the Gospels, Jesus was correcting the Jews for their oral traditions. Not only would he condemn them for their oral teachings and behavior, he would publicly expose them take for example Matthew 23. On many occasions the rabbis, scribes, and Pharisees where accused for the wrong teachings, which Jesus himself changed. Jesus also made a few changes to the Old Testament law “Matt 5:21-27, Matt 5:33, Matt 5:43, Matt 19:7-9 etc...”
What’s
interesting about all this is, Jesus was abrogating many Old Testament and oral
laws to his followers. Why then didn’t he correct the age consent for marriage
which is found in the oral law? (note
the entire Bible is silent on this subject it is only found in the oral law)
"A
Jew may marry a three year old girl specifically, three years and one
day." (Sanhedrin 55b)
Was Jesus
not aware that a three year old girl was allowed to get married ceremonially? Or was that
something common and cultural which Jesus did not find wrong so he left it to
be? Think about it Jesus had no problem abrogating certain laws from the Old Testament
“the so called word of god”, that’s including marital statues specifically on
divorce. Yet when it came to the age of marriage for a girl Jesus kept
quiet?
Ask yourself
why didn’t Jesus touch upon the subject of marriage with a young girl? Why didn’t
he condemn the rabbis for sanctioning such an age for marriage? The most
plausible answer would be “child marriage” was a common practice during ancient
times. Or else why didn’t Jesus rebuke the rabbis? After all he was exposing
them for everything else.
Why didn't Jesus of the bible condemn this filth?
the halakha with regard to the intercourse of a girl aged three years and one day is a halakha transmitted to Moses from Sinai (Talmud Nidda 32)
Was Jesus of the bible unaware of what Moses said in Sinai to the Israelite's who kept the oral tradition running? Even Ramban one of the greatest jewish scholar made mention of what Moses said through oral tradition
The intercourse of a [girl] less than three years old is not intercourse, is a 'law of Moshe from Sinai.' (Rambam Introduction to the Mishnah 8:32)
Seems like Jesus of the bible had no intention on abrogating this law by Moses. He was more concerned about divorce then child marriage
