“the prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old” http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/062.sbt.html#007.062.064
Google-it, verify it for yourself. Islamic scripture is perfectly clear about this, and only a minority of western Muslims even try to deny this...Muhammad at 57 pre-selected (pedo-engagement)Aisha at 6 for "marriage" and then committed this act Muslims call "marriage" when she was 9.
So heres the issue. Today there are over one billion Muslims on earth, all of whom are taught that all of Muhammad' conduct is the very "path to heaven". Thus, anything Muhammad ever did is a perfect example of human conduct...today and for all time. Thus, under Islamic law, its excellent for adults to marry children.
Stupid people like to say "it was common back then". It was never common for adults to marry children. Children did marry children, that was common, but never was adults and children common!
