Everyday it’s “Islam allows pedophilia...how old was Aisha when she married prophet Muhammad” *misinformation* in my mentions.

She was 18/20.

But they never talk about how the UK age of consent for marriage (not even a century ago) was 12 for girls. Make it make sense!
I legit have people in my mentions like: “you think it’s acceptable that girls who’ve just reached puberty should be married?!”

Eh, I don’t. But maybe you should take a look at the history of *your own country’s laws*. This was literally UK law 👍
Roman law gave the minimum age for marriage as that of puberty which was 14 for boys and 12 for girls; it remained the legal age for marriage until the late 19th Century in Britain.

So before you spew islamophobic disinformation in my mentions, take a look in the mirror. Idiots.
