i remember one of the people in yahoo answer said very rudely, "prophet muhammad banged a nine year old", well, the truth is:
Muhammad was in mourning years when his first wife, khadijah and his uncle abi thalib died. to cheer him up, his friends introduced him to a widow who was around his age, the second was aisyah, who was six at that time. the prophet married both women (a woman and a girl, whatever,) but aisyah lived with his parents until she was 13 or 14. even until several decades ago it is common for women to get married at that age in some countries. my friend's grandmother got married when she was twelve. so why is it a problem for the prophet to marry aisyah when she was six? they didnt live together until she was mature enough, anyway? isnt it better to marry a young girl than commiting adultery?
question is: so why is it a problem? is it just because of that he was muslim so everything he did that seems wrong can be used to intimidate islam?
