Joseph, Mary's husband, was "90 years old" when he married 12 year old Mary! Was he too a pedophile ?

No, someone has been feeding you bad information. No where in the Bible does it say that Joseph was 90 and that Mary was 12. Prove me wrong, show me the scripture.

How do you know he was 90 years old. I just read Matthew and ages are not mentioned.

i think marriage between this ages wasn't strange in their era.
In islam , the thing which control that , if the woman agree to marry this man or not , whatever he was old or young , rich or poor .
i think women was looking for someone to be responsible for her food , drink and protection.
