ArchivedMuhammads Youngest Wife ...Peace Scorpion, The marriage would not have taken place if that wasn’t the case. Also you have to understand that the young age of Aisha played a great part in our religion. It was because of her young age that she could absorb a lot of the traditions of the prophet and his teachings. When the prophet died, she was 18 years old, and she lived till she was 80+. Men from all over the Muslim world would come to Makkah to learn from her and she did this for more than 60 years of her life. She was not your average young woman. She was a poet, studied medicine and was scholar of hadith and Quran and all before the age of 18. When the prophet died, she led men into battle. Her young age was extremely important. The six year olds of today, and the six year olds of the 7th century are not the same. Moreover, we are not talking about your ordinary man, Muhammad was prophet (admitted it or not). Also, Muhammad had a dream, and the dreams of the prophets are divine and they should be followed. Furthermore, according to the hadiths, Aisha did not object to it and was only given to the prophet when she hit puberty as was the custom of the people. Aisha was not a child. In Islam, once a girl hits puberty, she is no longer a child but a young woman. But regarding the hadith, it should be noted that the prophet never once beat his wives, and in saying that, I’ll find out the meaning of the hadith. As usual, it seems that we are going around in circles. However, I’ll end it with this comment: We are all entitled to our opinion. But to understand Islam and it’s rulings, you should also understand the conditions that need to be taken when putting these rulings forward. As I have said already, it is the responsibility of the parents to looks out for the health of the child and to seek her permission before any marriage takes place. This does not just apply for young marriages only. If these conditions are not meant, such a marriage is not valid. Also there’s the difference between our 2 cultures as young marriages is only cultural thing. In Islam, men do not receive extra blessings for marrying a younger woman as compared to a woman of their age. To be honest, these posts are not making a difference to our stance. I understand your view point on health farside, but that is the responsibility of the parents. I have seen 9 years olds and 10 year olds who have given birth and are still giving birth. So this is not the situation with all girls. The responsibility lies with the parents for the welfare of their child, whether she is 9 or 29. Peace and Blessings be to the Believers |
