If you are referring to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), no he did not marry in infant.
Yes he married Aisha, the Daughter of Abu Bakr (The first Caliph after the Prophet, whos piety and good judgment helped Islam spread to conquer much of the world).
He did marry Aisha when she was 6, by the permission of her father. But the marriage was not consumated until she was 9. There are hadith telling about how he used to play with her, and they would run through the sands, and sometimes he would win the race and she would win.
Only sick, perverted people, try and tell you he did something he did not, any person with commonsense would know that if the Prophet EVER had intercourse with Aisha they would have had children. As there were no contraceptives then, and this is not the case. HE NEVER HAD ANY CHILDREN WITH AISHA. So all those ignorant people, well God will judge them for what they used to say.
Rather the wisdom behind marrying Aisha, was that she narrated many of the hadiths (sayings and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him after he died).
His first true love was Khadija, she was 40 when he was 25 and he loved her deeply, but she died.
Peace Be With You

If you use the legal definition, of infant as " minor child" then yes. She was 9, and it was a common practice at the time.

His main wife was older than him.
Aysha was 9.
Back then the girls used to get married after they got their first period.
But check this out:
Doesn't Juliet's mom say to her that when I was your age (14) I had you?
So doesn't this mean that back then, in most parts of the world, girls used to get married at a very young age?!

Married his bride when she was 6
Consumated the marriage when she was 9.
Also had other wives.
A shame there were no pedophile laws on the books back then.

No, he married a 9-year-old "adult". I guess when a child reaches 2 years of age, they're considered "young adults". It was a common practice back then to be engaged to a "young adult".

He married a 9 year old girl but he had told the girl's father he was going to marry her when she was only 6.

If you are talking about the founder of Islam, not exactly. She was 9 at the time.

No....not true. She was old enough to have sex with him, she was NINE (9). But don't worry, the Muslims will try to convince you it was ok because "things were different back then".
Was the spelling of his name intentional?

He married a nine year old and had many wives. It shows you why he invented Islam. He wanted to justify his sick ideas, fantasies, and convictions.
