Remember, Isaac (at 40) married Rebekah (the mother of Jacob and Esau), when she was three.
"According to the Midrash, Rebeccah was 3 years old when Abraham sent his loyal servant Eliezer to his family's homeland in Aram-Naharayim to find a wife for Isaac."
How Many wives did Solomon have?, Avraham, Jacob, David, Moses or AH-MOSES, joseph ...etc (May ALLAH Exalt Their Mention)?.

Well since there are multiple Protestant churches that have contrary beliefs you will get quite a few different answers. It is the Catholic Church that states that Mary was a virgin her entire life, never had any other children, and the brothers of Jesus can mean several things. The Catholic Church has no official determination as to the what their exact relationship to Jesus was, and that it's debatable. The only thing the Church will say for certain is that they were NOT Mary's children, that Mary was a virgin her entire life, was the Mother of Jesus, and had no other children.

No where in the Bible does it say that Rebekah had sex with Issac when she was only three years old. You are embellishing the story (I.E.: you are a liar).
According to the custom at the time, most people assume that Mary was perhaps 14-16 years old when she was married.

I don't know where you get this information.
It all seems blasphemes against the Blessed Virgin Mary.
I think non-muslims are researching islamic faith and have read the way of life of mohammed, especially the part being married to a 6 year old and consummated when she was 9 years old.
Before YOU deceit yourself, you need to seek wisdom from the Bible.
Epistle Of Saint James
Chapter 4
The evils that flow from yielding to concupiscence and being friends to this world. Admonitions against pride, detraction and the like.
1 From whence are wars and contentions among you? Are they not hence, from your concupiscences, which war in your members? 2 You covet, and have not: you kill, and envy, and can not obtain. You contend and war, and you have not, because you ask not. 3 You ask, and receive not; because you ask amiss: that you may consume it on your concupiscences. 4 Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world, becometh an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that the scripture saith in vain: To envy doth the spirit covet which dwelleth in you?
6 But he giveth greater grace. Wherefore he saith: God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 7 Be subject therefore to God, but resist the devil, and he will fly from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners: and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into sorrow. 10 Be humbled in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
11 Detract not one another, my brethren. He that detracteth his brother, or he that judgeth his brother, detracteth the law, and judgeth the law. But if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver, and judge, that is able to destroy and to deliver. 13 But who art thou that judgest thy neighbour? Behold, now you that say: Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and there we will spend a year, and will traffic, and make our gain. 14 Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow. 15 For what is your life? It is a vapour which appeareth for a little while, and afterwards shall vanish away. For that you should say: If the Lord will, and if we shall live, we will do this or that.
16 But now you rejoice in your arrogancies. All such rejoicing is wicked. 17 To him therefore who knoweth to do good, and doth it not, to him it is sin.

According to tradition in those days, women married when they were teenagers. This was because the life span of the commoner was shorter--to somewhere in their mid-40's to early 50's. So you can assume quite correctly that Mary was around sixteen.

The Bible doesn't mention Mary's age, unlike the Hadiths, which clearly indicate that poor little Aisha was 6 when the pedophile false prophet married her. Then her HAIR FELL OUT! That's a sign from the TRUE God that she sinned. Then Mohammad whipped it out and "consumated" the poor little girl when she wasn't even 10 years old! 9 years old is a 3rd grader! YUCK!!
How can you NOT see that a man in his 50s having sex with a 3rd grade age girl is WRONG?!
neato! Let's all turn the clock back 3000 years and live like polygamist pedophiles! Mohammad would love that!

Impossible to tell. Apparently in the past, time was not a constant. How else could six days become billions of years? The bible might say she was 20, but this is biblical time, so that could mean 12, or a billion, or two hours, who knows?
