I've read all the answers, but the best explanation was from the link which was provided to me. Let me say that the marriage of Aisha and Muhammad could have truly been beautiful. I understand the politics of the marriage, and I also see how the marriage of Aisha and Muhammad educated Aisha, beyond any expectation of any Muslim woman, or person for that matter, BUT there is one BIG problem. If Muhammad did take the so called noble, sublime act of marrying a girl, not because of attraction, but to strengthen ties between all muslims. Why did he still take the liberty of having sex with her? If he loved her like a daughter I don't care if he slept with her at age 30 that's still sick and twisted. The fact is he did sleep with Aisha at age 9. That's a big problem. Muhammad sleeping with Aisha completely obliteterates the 'sublime' factor of his intentions. I can't see any defense to that, it's sick, and it should at least be admitted as an unexplainable flaw to Islam
Peace
