What are you talking about?

'Halal' means permissible or allowed. Saying that child marriage is halal is not a wrong Islamic statement. Obviously it does not mean 'mandatory' and that way Islam gives freedom to the parents when it comes to marrying their daughters. Comparatively the Hindu custom of 'gouridan' was lot worse. 
Be it mandatory or permissible-- it does not matter. No question should arise to marry a girl at a very early age. Many countries including India have laws not allowing to marry girls under certain age. This makes Gouridan illegal in India. As far as I know a certain section of the Ulema opposes this law as a result of which the Moslems are not affected by this legal restriction.

I agree the word 'Halal' is not appropriate in this context.'Child Marriage is Halal' is not my phrase. Please check the title of this thread - Child marriage is halal said: Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia: Shaikh Abdul Aziz Al Shaikh.

According to Hindu scripture, if a girl sees her menstrual blood before wedding, her father would be condemned to hell after death. Gouridan occurred before the age of eight. Mrinalini Devi, wife of Tagore, gave birth to her first child by the age of twelve. By the contemporary law, Tagore would be in jail for statutory rape. Child marriage is Sunnah, as she is not used as food, I am not sure if the word halal is appropriate or not.

It is true, child marriage is also present in the Hindu society, but I do not know of any Hindus religious scripture advocating this practice, as it is in case of Islam. That's the point being discussed here.
I am sure, Mr. Chowdhury and Chakraborty know that very well, but they are trying to whitewash the fact by diverting discussion into other directions. The question is – why are they trying to cover up this unholy practice? This practice is a child molestation - no matter who says it is halal, and it cannot be supported.
