A million dollar question is “What was the age of Mary when she delivered Jesus
وقال القس الكاثوليكي لكنيسة القديسة مريم
ان مريم العذارء تزوجت يوسف النجار وكان عمره حوالي 36 عاما وهي عمرها حوالي 13
وكذلك ورد في قاموس الانجيل الذي تصدره اكسفورد ان مريم اكان عمرها 9 سنوات عندما حبلت
According to the Priest of Saint Mary's Catholic Church: "Mary was approximately 9 years old when she got pregnant with Jesus. Joseph, Mary's Husband is believed to be around 36. Mary was only 13 when she married Joseph. When she first was arranged with Joseph she was between 7 to 9 years old." And According to the "Oxford Dictionary Bible" commentary, Mary Magdalene was 9 years old when she became impregnated.
اضافة للقول ان لو كان ما يقول القس رونار ان النبي كان يتزوج صغار السن فنقول له ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم تزوج يحب الزواج من الصغيرات لما تزوج من ثاني زوجاته "سودة بنت زمعة العامرية" التي كانت في التاسعة والسبعين أن محمداً قد تزوج سودةَ جبراً لخاطرها وعزاءً لها عن زوجها الذي مات عنها مهاجراً في الغربة، وكذلك براً ورحمة بها

a million dollar question is “What was the age of Mary when she delivered Jesus
Now, a million dollar question is “What was the age of Mary when she delivered Jesus pbuh?” The answer from the most knowledgeable amongst the followers of Paul has this say “She was 9 years of age when she delivered Jesus pbuh”. If a girl of age 9 can be shattered by the act of marriage, why did God select a girl of 9 years to deliver Jesus pbuh?
The answer is very simple, God did that to show you [Pauline flocks] that her age of 9 was good enough [if not fit] to deliver the child. If not then there is a serious problem with the concept of Jesus’ birth.
According to the Priest of Saint Mary's Catholic Church: "Mary was approximately 9 years old when she got pregnant with Jesus. Joseph, Mary's Husband is believed to be around 36. Mary was only 13 when she married Joseph. When she first was arranged with Joseph she was between 7 to 9 years old." And According to the "Oxford Dictionary Bible" commentary, Mary Magdalene was 9 years old when she became impregnated.
What about Mary, Jesus' Mother peace be upon both of them? How old was she when she got pregnant?
Not only was it a custom in the Arab society to Engage/Marry a young girl it was also common in the Jewish society. The case of Mary the mother of Jesus comes to mind, in non biblical sources she was between 11-14 years old when she conceived Jesus. Mary had already been "BETROTHED" to Joseph before conceiving Jesus. Joseph was a much older man. therefore Mary was younger than 11-14 years of age when she was "BETHROED" to Joseph. We Muslims would never call Joseph a Child Molester, nor would we refer to the "Holy Ghost" of the Bible, that "Impregnated" Mary as a "Rapist" or "Adulterer".

According to the "Oxford Dictionary Bible" commentary, Mary (peace be upon her) was was 12 years old when she became impregnated.
So if I want to be as silly and ridiculous as many of the Christians, I would respond to them by saying that Mary was psychologically and emotionally devastated for getting pregnant at a very young age. And speaking of "child molesting", since most Christians believe that Jesus is the Creator of this universe, then why did GOD allow himself to enter life through a 12-year old young girl's vagina? Please note that we Muslims love and respect Allah Almighty, Mary, Jesus and Allah's Message to the People of the Book (The Jews and Christians). In other words, we Muslims would never make fun of Christianity through such childish topic like this one as many ridiculous Christians do make fun of Islam through our Prophet's (peace be upon him) marriage.

هناك من يقول إن السيدة مريم رضي الله عنها كانت في الثانية عشرة -الرابعة عشرة من عمرها
بينما كان يوسف النجار في التسعين من عمره كما نرى هنا:

Marriage. It is probably at Nazareth that Joseph betrothed and married her who was to become the Mother of God. When the marriage took place, whether before or after the Incarnation, is no easy matter to settle, and on this point the masters of exegesis have at all times been at variance. Most modern commentators, following the footsteps of St. Thomas, understand that, at the epoch of the Annunciation, the Blessed Virgin was only affianced to Joseph; as St. Thomas notices, this interpretation suits better all the evangelical data.
It will not be without interest to recall here, unreliable though they are, the lengthy stories concerning St. Joseph's marriage contained in the apocryphal writings. When forty years of age, Joseph married a woman called Melcha or Escha by some, Salome by others; they lived forty-nine years together and had six children, two daughters and four sons, the youngest of whom was James (the Less, "the Lord's brother"). A year after his wife's death, as the priests announced through Judea that they wished to find in the tribe of Juda a respectable man to espouse Mary, then twelve to fourteen years of age, Joseph, who was at the time ninety years old, went up to Jerusalem among the candidates; a miracle manifested the choice God had made of Joseph, and two years later the Annunciation took place. These dreams, as St. Jerome styles them, from which many a Christian artist has drawn his inspiration (see, for instance, Raphael's "Espousals of the Virgin"), are void of authority; they nevertheless acquired in the course of ages some popularity; in them some ecclesiastical writers sought the answer to the well-known difficulty arising from the mention in the Gospel of "the Lord's brothers"; from them also popular credulity has, contrary to all probability, as well as to the tradition witnessed by old works of art, retained the belief that St. Joseph was an old man at the time of marriage with the Mother of God
