Aisha went on carry Muhammad's legacy and she is the source of many of the most accurate historical narratives that exist today on the life of Muhammad and the early Muslim community. She was no victim...Aisha was a religious leader who travelled to Masjids within Arabia after the death of the Prophet to try and keep the people faithful and their message united. There are plenty of narratives in which it is made clear that she was able to talk to Muhammad in a way that no other person could, and that her opinion was highly regarded by the Prophet.
That she was 9 when she moved into the house of Muhammad is based on her own estimation of her age at the time. The problem with this is that even rural bedhoins today have no clue about their ages and don't celebrate birthdays. This is true of the poor in many countries, where they don't have the luxury of even knowing their date of birth in some cases. She was young, but 6 and 9 are estimates of someone without a way gauge the past in the same ways that we do today.
Also...he didn't fondle some little girl. He was her husband, and he provided for her, made sure she was happy and ensured that she would be taken care of after his death. Yes, she was young...but there is nothing to suggest that it was unusual for the time. By her own account she had a happy childhood and was in love with the prophet...why should we impose our modern day views and deny that she was telling the truth about that?
If she did grow up happy and well adjusted and was taken care of she wasn't in any way exploited for purely sexual reasons or made to feel like an object, which is what molestation is. Instead she grew up around her family and with a sense of pride in self and the belief that when you see something wrong you should stand up and say something about it.

No,there is too many thing behind that story
1- b4 prophet Mohamed marry her she was already engaged to another man called " Jobair Bn Almotaam Bn Odai" so that lead us that she was in good age to marry
2- they live as wife and man after she became 9 years old,not b4 that
3-its known in hot weather countries that girls become adult b4 others country (the period start in 8 years old) so her body was ready
4- he didn't marry her to have fun (sex) CZ he was already 55 years old,and the reason was is to keep his best Friend (Abo Baker-her father) near him
5-he marry her when she was small to learn her the good things in small age,as she known when she grow up that she was write poem,know medical,good educate

Mohhamed became an occasion of solid manners the place God interior the Holy Quran stated: "…and you're certainly with great manners…" ( Al-Qallam; 4) EDIT///// rapid…regrettably you ignore concerning the version between nicely-known age and the age of a single one…prophet Mohammed (PBUH) had 3 daughters 2 kicked the bucket on the age of 20' and 3 sons all died babies as indication of how toddler mortality value became then…you could chick the validity of this scientific theory at any encyclopedia and watch how with time and larger healthful situations that indicator had fallen… even with the certainty that; you probably did no longer answer to the essence of this subject; this is in simple terms by using prophet Mohammed (PBUH) that we comprehend the genuine tale of Virgin Mary and Jesus; or different clever like the Jews, we would have in no way believed in him or in his un-accepted delivery….

was god wrong to allow this to happen? was it 1400 years ago when times were different, was it necessary? who knows, maybe it was because there was no one else to look after her, did they have sex, where is the evidence for that, and if they did why did british and europians marry at the age of 12 was it to have sex or was it the norm because life expectancy was short, is it because at the time it was allowed, was tutenkhamoun an adult when he married, how come most british prisons are full of paedophiles, was the prophet wrong, no he wasnt wrong, you are just miss guided by the heathen in yourself, stop picking on things you know nothing about, it makes you look immature,

in all cultures and countries, even mary herself.. women married just after puberty hit.. They had to grow up fast back then.. They were not spoiled and sat around playing video games and eating tea and cookies till they are 30 like girls do now.. They helped around the house, washed, sewed, cooked, gardened, tended live stock.. They were full women at 10 and 11... .. So what was a common practice in all faiths and cultures back then, you cannot compare with your ideals nowaways...

This question is asked by many non-Muslims and is used to hurt Muslims who do not understand this, This was an answer that I had prepared for a Christian.
He married Aisha in contract initially and then she lived with him three years later. There are varying reports about her age when she married him some sources say 6,9,12,15 and the Shia say 18. According to Sheikh Hamza Yusuf all the narrations about her age at the time of marriage are singular narrations therefore there isn't one that stands out and we can affirm that narration.
In any case when she married him, she was fully formed woman, in other words capable of child birth. This was perfectly normal in that time, as it was the practice of the Arabs at that time to marry women at 12, when they had reached puberty and they did not live together until three years after that.
In most of the books, scholars generally say the age was twelve and then she went to live with him when she was fifteen, after the emigration to Medina.
This was a normal marriage in this time because another woman Khawla said why don't you marry Aisha, this confirms it as a practice of the people.
Don’t forget that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a dream where the angel Jibril was carrying a person and he asked who is was, the angel said it is your wife, the cloth was uncovered and it was Aisha, this happened three times. She was married to him before the Hijra to Medina and did not live with him until after which was some three years.
In the Jewish Torah it states than any father who hasn’t married his daughter by the age of twelve, has dishonoured her. Henry the 8th wed Anne Boleyn aged twelve.
Some Hindis marry when their brides are aged twelve, the Jewish tradition has about what age a woman should be when she marries, some say 6 others say 9 and 12.
Mary mother of Jesus according to Christain sources was 12 when she gave birth to Jesus (upon them peace).
There are several reasons for this marriage, Aisha (may God be pleased with her) reported the second most narrations about him (over two thousand), she was the first female scholar and she taught hundreds if not thousands of students.
She corrected other companions when they made mistakes, she was a living authority of religious knowledge in her time. Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) was also married to Safiyyah, the daughter of Huyayy ibn Akhtab, the leader of a Jewish tribe in Arabia. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)married her when she was 16 years old and guess what? He was her third husband; she was married twice before him.
So, how old do you think she was when she got married to her first husband? Probably around 12 or 9, just like `A’ishah (May Allah be pleased with her).
According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica—which is a Western source written by non-Muslim scholars and scientists — puberty is “in human physiology, the stage or period of life when a child transforms into an adult normally capable of procreation,” which essentially means “sexually mature.” She was engaged before him to the son of Uqbah ibn Muayt. He was one of the idol worshipers of the Quraish, who had abandoned her because of her father’s strong position in supporting Islam.
Also, when Khawlah bint Hakim suggested to him to marry Aisha, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, thought thoroughly whether to accept or to refuse. He took into consideration his relation with Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him).
People who try to compare one time with another really misrepresent that time.
Many people forget how amazing Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was, after the Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) passed away, she did not marry again. She loved him that much that she could not bear to marry anyone else.
People who bring slander to this are really showing what they have in themselves because when a dog backs at the moon, it does not a make a difference to it
