Muslims insist that Muhammad marriage and sex with a child of 9 wasnt rape because Aisha consented.
First, we ofcourse dont know if she actually consented because theres no way of knowing but suppose she did, and suppose her parents didnt feel any presure based on Muhammad power and army, can will still ever say a child of 9 is capable of consent?
MUSLIMS, because a child is totally depedant on their providers, the law in all civilzied countries says it is wrong because humans can never truely consent where they have no freedom to simply leave. In reality, its certain that a child would not at first consent until his embarrassed parent sternly told them to accept the marriage "or else".
Also, ofcourse, a child so young is to ignorant to make a real decision that affects the rest of life.
