Does the annulment of a marriage contract issued by a judge on the grounds that the girl is under eighteen years of age take effect, and if it does, what is the ruling if the spouses reject this annulment and their marital life continues?

Marrying off one's young daughter is generally permissible, but she is not to be handed over to the husband until she is able to endure intercourse. One who has reached fifteen years of age is no longer considered young. It is not permissible for a judge to annul a marriage that the Muslim nation has unanimously agreed upon its validity, thus his ruling in this case is not enforceable. However, if the wife requests annulment due to harm, the judge asks the husband to divorce her gratuitously or for a compensation. If he does not divorce her, the judge divorces her on his behalf, and his ruling here is enforceable.
