You are a desperate apologetic and
an out and out liar who does not know what he is talking about.
Here is a quote from the Victorian library on the average age of marriages from the 16th century right to the 19th century:
Marriage statistics indicate that the mean marriage age for the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras was higher than many people realize. Data taken from birthdates of women and marriage certificates reveals mean marriage ages to have been as follows:
1566-1619 27.0 years
1647-1719 29.6 years
1719-1779 26.8 years
1770-1837 25.1 years
You call me a liar I see. And also those citistics are based on
average which does not negate all married during those ages.
Did you ever read you American History about the "
Age of Consent Campaign" . If I was such a Liar why did such a campaign exist to raise the consent law if it wasnt never legal in America to marry women 9-12 years old ?
"
Age of consent" referred in the late nineteenth century to the legal age at which
a girl could consent to sexual relations. Men who engaged in sexual relations with girls before they reached the legal age of consent could be found guilty of statutory rape. American reformers were shocked to discover that
the laws of most states set the age of consent at
the age of ten or twelve, and in one state, Delaware, the age of consent was
seven. Women reformers and social purists initiated a campaign in 1885 to petition legislators to raise the legal age of consent to at least sixteen, although their ultimate goal was to raise the age to eighteen.[1] The campaign ultimately proved very successful; by 1920 almost every state had raised the legal age of consent to either sixteen or eighteen.

The obviously those laws were not there for show. So I guess the law makers were pedophiles huh ? As we said it was perfectly legal, until some people after a period of time wanted to change it. Just like how they changed it now so that woman can marry woman and man can marry man now, even made abortions legal. Heres good old America for ya.

Aisha married the prophet in
623-624 ACE in which she was born in
613-614 ACE
According to the historical records,
Aisha was born in 614 C. E., after her parents had embraced Islam. She was the daughter of Umm Ruman and Abu Bakr (the first khalifa in Islamic history), a close friend, constant companion, and strong follower of the Prophet. Abu Bakr, who was well liked and respected for his vast knowledge and pleasant demeanor raised her. Muhammad (pbuh) was a frequent caller to their home from the early days of his mission.

Hazrat Aisha (Radhiyallahu-Anha) was born as a Muslim. She says: "When I got to the age of understanding my parents were already Muslims." From this is it clear that not even a brink of Kufr was shadowed upon her.
Hazrat Aisha (Radhiyallahu-Anha) became the Holy Prophet's (Sallallahu-Alayhi-Wasallam) wife in Makkah when she was in the sixth year of her life
but her wedding did not take place until the second year after the Hijrah when she was about nine or ten.

When Muhammad died in 632, 'A'ishah was left a childless widow of 18. She remained politically inactive until the time of 'Uthman (644–656; the third caliph, or leader of the Islamic community), during whose reign she played an important role in fomenting opposition that led to his murder in 656. She led an army against his successor, 'Ali, but was defeated in the Battle of the Camel. The engagement derived its name from the fierce fighting that centred around the camel upon which 'A'ishah was mounted. Captured, she was allowed to live quietly in Medina.
Britannica - A'ishah
Math class is in session !!!!!!!!!!
I know some of you especially Liberate whom has illusionary and bad reading comprehension has shown also his bad math comprehension, can add and subtract.
I quoted Britannica as it can be trusted as a neutral source unless providing stronger evidence to prove it wrong which I dont think that will happen in this case. Cause, all available sources in the majority say Aisha was 18 when the our Prophet died in
632. SO lets do our math here.
Aisha was 18 in
632 ACE confirmed by the Birtannica, she married our Prophet in
623 ACE which is agreed to.
*** 632
*** -623
*** 9
She was 9 when he married her, not 6. And as the hadeeths in general express he did not consumate the marriage until 3 years later making her 12.
If this you accuse him of and bash our relgion for then you do the same to Judaism
The minimum age for marriage under Jewish law is 13 for boys,
12 for girls;
however, the kiddushin can take place before that, and often did in medieval times. The Talmud recommends that a man marry at age 18, or somewhere between 16 and 24.

The example of our prophet is that he waited years before the consumation. And yes liberate 12 year old girls do still play with dolls. My cousins played with dolls and braided the hair of dolls at that age. My sister who is now 13 still has her dolls and plays with them with her younger friends.
