“there are laws laid down by Allah (SWT) regarding marriage. In my position as a Muslim, I followed all the procedures for marriage in Islam. If I had violated any provision of the law in Islam, I would have been disturbed, the issue of age does not arise.”
“Yes (she is Egyptian). There are women that Allah (SWT) prohibits us from marrying, there are those he permits us to marry. I married the one Allah permits us (Muslims) to marry.

“Anything I want to do, I always ask myself whether Allah prohibits it.”

On December 12, 1957, Jerry married his third cousin, Myra Gale Brown only 13 years old. Marrying at thirteen and marrying one’s third cousin (twice removed) was not that unusual.
