The answer

Intercourse with a wife who has not reached puberty is conditioned upon her capacity for cohabitation, not merely the marriage contract, due to the , "There shall be no harm or reciprocating harm." Accordingly, whenever harm is established, it must be removed. The desirability of the guardian of the young girl waiting for her to reach puberty and seeking her permission, according to the majority of scholars, comes from observing her best interest. Some scholars even went so far as to consider the marriage invalid and annulled if the interest of the young girl is not observed.
