?Why Prophet Muhammad Married Aisha When She Was Only 9

Surely I would have accepted with pleasure if any of them was going to have the honour of marriage to prophet Muhammed PBUH

So, you would have no problem to approve the marriage of your 9 years old daughter to a man who is 4 decades older than she is !!

Isn’t that a violation of human rights, a violation of all the laws of mankind ??

Puberty usually begins between ages 10 and 14 for girls, and ages 12 and 16 for boys. Some African American girls may start puberty earlier, around age 9.

mankind ??

of course We have a problem with that today, as it is not normal now .days, girls do not mature that early but that was not the case then. You are not comparing like to like, it is like comparing orange to apples, they both fruits but that where the similarity ends. 1400 years later, different cultures, so that is not fair comparison.

Although the articles covered it all but I would like to highlight few points.
1. Lady Aisha was already engaged before the prophet, so she was more than ready, and playing with the swings has nothing to do with maturity.
2. it was normal at that time, not this day but it was then this much is true, and was also the case in Europe: five centuries after Muhammad's marriage to Aisha, 33-year-old King John of England married 12-year-old Isabella of Angoulême
3. the enemies of Mohummad peace be upon him, had too many criticisms but none focused on Aisha's age at marriage. Why do you think that ?? because it was normal?!!and nobody suggested your ridiculous idea at that time that he shouldn’t have sex with her, as she is considered a women.
4. To paint Aisha as a victim is completely at odds with her persona, During his lifetime, he established her authority by telling Muslims to consult her in his absence; after his death, she went to be become one of the most prolific and distinguished scholars of her time.
5. A stateswoman, scholar, mufti, and judge, Aisha combined spirituality, activism and knowledge and remains a role model for many Muslim women today.
6. because of her young ages Lady Aisha narrated a lot of hadiths, she also told us a lot about the daily life of the prophet, his relation with his wife, the other wives were much older than her so she had that advantage of remembering more than them, also .
7. The hadiths showed very loving and healthy relationship such as the fact they liked to drink out of the same cup or race one another.


As for Christians you are the last people to pass the moral judgement after what you have attributed to the prophets, as if God will chose the worse of human to convey his message.
