can marry from aged
three in the
Babylonian Talmud, and younger than three if they're marrying a Cohen.

Rather the practical
difference is the case, for instance, where her husband
had intercourse with her while she was under three years
of age and found blood and when he had intercourse after
the age of three he also found blood. If you grant that
the features disappear and reappear again the blood
might well be treated as that of virginity, but if you
maintain that they cannot be destroyed until after the
age of three years, that must be the blood of
menstruation.
When a grown-up man has intercourse with a little girl
it is nothing, for when the girl is less than this (less
than three years old), it is as if one puts the finger
into the eye... I.e., tears come to the eye again and
again, so does virginity come back to the little girl
under three years
Rachel Adler (herself Jewish), a professor of Modern
Jewish Thought & Judaism wrote in 1998:
".. the Torah specifies no minimum age for sex with a
girl-child, and the Talmud's minimum age is three. The
Talmud prescribes no penalty for intercourse with a
girlchild under age three, because it was believed that
the hymen would regenerate at that age, and consequently
she was considered to have sustained no damage"
Das Herz der jüdischen Eigenart:
ReplyDer Talmud ist der Kern des Judentums
Das Herz der jüdischen Eigenart und das Wesen des jüdischen Volkes liegt in einem Werk verborgen, das als Talmud bekannt ist. Der Talmud ist der Kern des Judentums. Verständnis des Talmud ist Verständnis des Judentums, Diffamierung des Talmud ist Diffamierung des Judentums, Abkehr vom Talmud ist Abkehr vom Judentum.
