After all, if GOD can make old women pregnant (Hebrews 11:11), He can also make pre-pubescent girls pregnant.

While the LORD can certainly cause seed to quicken within the womb of a five-year-old girl if it is His will, I think it is better to wait until the girl starts to ovulate - at around 11 years or so - before offering her hand in marriage to potential suitors. Otherwise, the husband would risk engaging in non-procreative intercourse, which is tantamount to masturbation.
Now I know what you're thinking... "But what if the Holy Spirit speaks to the father and potential suitor, assuring fertility before puberty?" Just remember that prophecies are sometimes spoken presumptuously. It's the LORD's way of keeping us on our toes.
Deuteronomy 18:22
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
I think it's best to play it safe and at least them get into double-digit age before marrying off daughters. When it comes to running the risk of committing seed murder, you can never be too cautious.
