If you read the life history of the Prophet (pbuh), only two of his marriages one with Khadija (ra), and the other, with Ayesha (ra) were marriages in the normal course. All his other marriages were contracted as a necessity and were based on various considerations.
The first marriage of the Prophet (pbuh) took place when he was 25 years of age and he married Khadija (ra) who was twice widowed, and was 40 years old. If the Prophet (pbuh) was hyper-sexual, why would he marry a woman who was 15 years older than him and already twice widowed?
Until his first wife, Khadija (ra) was alive, he NEVER took a second wife. Khadija (ra) died when the Prophet (pbuh) was 50 years age and only after this, did he marry the others. If he married eleven wives for sexual reasons, he should have had multiple wives during his youth. Contrary to this, history tells us that all his marriages with his remaining ten wives took place when he was between the age of 53 AND 59 YEARS.
All his wives (ra) were between the age of 36 to 50 years, except for two wives (ra). His reputation had spread far and wide, not only in Arabia, but also in the neighboring countries. Could he not have easily got younger and lovelier girls to marry? Most of his marriages were for political gain and for the spread of Islam.
2-THE NORM FOR MARRIAGE IN THAT ERA
The customs at the time for all people almost everywhere except maybe in the Roman Empire, men were to marry as many wives as they wished. In the Hindus scriptures and the Old Testament of the Bible one can not find a restriction on the number of wives. According to these scriptures one can marry as many as one wishes. Jesus (pbuh) has not spoken against polygamy though the Jews of his society practiced it. If it was something evil or unclean as some claim, he would have spoken against since he was sent to teach what is right, unless we choose to believe that he did not teach what is right and what was wrong. In earlier times, Christian men were permitted as many wives as they wished, since the Bible puts no restriction on the number of wives. It was only a few centuries ago, probably because of the Roman Empire strong influence on Christianity, that the (Roman) Church restricted the number of wives to one. With all that in mind people who lived in Arabia whether they were Jews, early Christians or pagans, were to mary as many wives as they wished. Muhammad (pbuh) and Muslims were living their lives just as anybody else who lived in their era.

it isn't impressive that Prophet Mohammed had13 better halves. notwithstanding it isn't widely used why he married a 9 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous woman named Ayesha and his followed son's spouse noted as Zainab. there have been no political causes behinds those 2 marriages. Prophet married different women human beings at the same time as his first spouse Khadija died.
