Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) married ayesha at the age of six and consummated the marriage when she was nine years old. According to science, people reach puberty earlier where they are closer to the equator, in other words, the climate is hot and islam says that the girl should be
married and sent off soon as she reaches puberty. Hazrat Aisha might have reached puberty when the marriage was consummated. I reached puberty at 11 so this won't come to you as a shock. Far as the guy claiming the Prophet (P.B.U.H) a pe*ophile. There are certain norms attached
to the culture and society and every society has its own particular norms. In today's generation, a person under 18 is considered a minor. If you go a few years back a minor would be under 16. A few years ahead, a minor would be under 25 but if someone marries an 18 y/o today,
God forbid the people in the upcoming ages would label them as pedophiles. No. It was normal and accepted in those times. The wife, the father, the mother had no issue. The society had no issue. Labeling someone as a minor and an adult is a social construct. I've seen 16 y/o
way smarter and wiser than 30 y/o. Islam has given the autonomy to the women to select or reject their spouse. Just dont misinterpret religion and try to understand it before you pass derogatory remarks like these. It's wrong and painful for the believers. And please stop making
these religious extremists the preachers and representatives of islam. Islam is a religion of peace and forgiveness.
Im only here to justify my religion against the statement posed ny maruf zaidi. There will always be room for healthy conversations and arguments but disrespecting something so deeply attached to the sentiments and beliefs of people is hurtful. I'm not here to support murder.
This means so much.
