He did. Contrary to popular propaganda and mistranslation, the story of her sister Asma is conveniently left out. Asma was 10 years older than Aisha. At the time of Aisha's marriage, Asma was 28. Take 10 away from 28 and you have 18. The same problem of translation is in a few places in the Quran, too. The arabic word "daraba" used in Surah An Nisa that you have heard says to beat your wife, literally means to "beat it" as in leave the home or separate from her. Everywhere else in the Quran that this word is used, it means to leave the place. Nothing to do with beat. How can it all of a sudden change meaning? If you know arabic, it's easy to see the mistakes and mistranslations.

As Recorded in the Sunnah, Muhammad married Aisha at the age of 6 and consummated when she reach the age of 9. As to why can't he wait, there is no way we can know, given it happened so long ago. However, given that Muhammad died 10 years later after she reached the age of 9, ie, she would have been 19, its not beneficial to Muhammad to wait.

NO it somewhat is somewhat not real!!!! so as to be seen a intercourse criminal you're able to desire to be over the age of 18 and have intercourse with a minor, yet in maximum states in case you're 18 and your companions age is interior of two-3 years of yours it is not seen something. do no longer enable him scare you into having an abortion, perhaps he's no longer waiting to have yet another baby, that's comprehensible at his age. in case you're waiting to have this baby and preserve it, then it is your determination to make. i'm confident you recognize how stressful that's to advance a baby. there are various sixteen 3 hundred and sixty 5 days olds which could be ideas-blowing mothers. do no longer enable others discourage you, yet you definetly could communicate including your dad and mom or others you're on the part of. solid success.

People's life span was a lot shorter back then; it was common for girls to marry at 12 or 13.

We Muslim don't know when we will die. We can die just a minute after reading this question, or tomorrow morning. We can't gauruntee that when we leave our house we won't get hit by a car when crossing the road. Anything is possible.
That's the same reason probably. Also, there was a reason why he married her.
The Prophet’s dream about marrying ‘Aa’ishah
Praise be to Allaah.
The was reported by Imaam al-Bukhaari (may Allaah have mercy on him) in his Saheeh from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her), who said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to her: “You were shown to me twice in a dream. I saw you in a piece of silk (i.e., he saw her image on a piece of silk, or he saw her wearing a silken garment). I was told, ‘This is your wife, so unveil her,’ and it was you. I said: if this dream is from Allaah then it will come to pass.’” (Saheeh al-Bukhaari, 3606).
In his commentary on this hadeeth, Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “This dream came after his mission had started, and it was a wahy (revelation) that had implications in real life. (Its implication was that he did indeed marry her later on). His words ‘and it was you’ indicate that he had seen her before and knew what she looked like.” (See Fath al-Baari)
There is nothing in the hadeeth to indicate that his marriage to ‘Aa’ishah was as a result of that dream. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked her father for her hand in marriage, and her father Abu Bakr gave her in marriage, in the usual fashion, as is indicated in the following hadeeth:
“ ‘Urwah reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked Abu Bakr for ‘Aa’ishah’s hand in marriage, and Abu Bakr said to him: ‘But I am your brother.’ He said: ‘You are my brother according to the religion and Book of Allaah (i.e., my brother in Islam), and she is permissible for me (to marry).” (Bukhaari, 4691)
In his commentary Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “Ibn Abi ‘Aasim reported via Yahyaa ibn ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Haatib from ‘Aa’ishah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent Khawlah bint Hakeem to Abu Bakr to ask for ‘Aa’ishah’s hand in marriage. Abu Bakr asked her, ‘Is she right for him? Because she is the daughter of my brother.’ Khawlah went back and mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). He told her: ‘Go back and tell him: “You are my brother in Islam, and your daughter is right for me.”’ She went back to Abu Bakr and told him, and he said: ‘Call the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).’ So he came and the marriage was performed.”
The phrase “You are my brother according to the religion and Book of Allaah (i.e., my brother in Islam)” was referring to the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): “The believers are nothing else than brothers (in Islamic religion)…” [al-Hujuraat 49:10] and other similar aayaat. The phrase “she is permissible for me (to marry)” means it is permissible to marry her even though she is the brother’s daughter, because the kind of brotherhood that would prevent such a marriage is the brotherhood of descent (same parent) or of radaa’ah (by being breastfed in infancy by the same woman), not the brotherhood of faith.
As regards the woman to whom the Prophet’s marriage was arranged in heaven, as it were, by Allaah, and not in the customary fashion, this was Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allaah be pleased with her), as is indicated by the hadeeth of Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him), who said: “Zaynab used to boast (to her co-wives) about how she had got married to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), saying: ‘Your families arranged your marriages but Allaah arranged my marriage from above the seven heavens.’” (al-Bukhaari, 6870). No other wife except Zaynab was married to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in such a unique fashion; ‘Aa’ishah’s marriage was arranged as described in the reports quoted above. May Allaah reward you with good for your question. And Allaah knows best.
Question:
A Christian colleague of mine asked me why the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) when she was nine years old and he was nearly sixty, and was he intimate with her at that age or what? In fact I do not know how to respond to that.
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) after he married Sawdah bint Zam’ah (may Allaah be pleased with her). She – ‘Aa’ishah – was the only virgin whom he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married. And he consummated the marriage with her when she was nine years old.......
