Why did Mohammed marry a six year old girl?

There's no means of justifying this wretched act and Muslims expect people to believe this is a religion of peace, oh hog wash!

Update:

Sam are you seriously justifying pedophilia that it's to commit that act? In the Quran he had relations with her when she was 9, you're a sick F@ck Sam to defend a pedophiles act. What of the 8 year girl who was molest and forced into marriage, who recently died. I guess that too was ok. F off Sam you wanker!

Update 2:

@ Midget R I'm not a Christian but The virgin Mary was 17 not 14, get your facts right

    Just because he married her doesn't mean there was abuse. I am not Islam, but I also don't like people bashing others who are dead and are unable to defend themselves. Any moron can criticize, that requires no skill or intelligence.

    Some Muslims lie and say she was actually 21. Some say it's because Arab girls matured faster back then and she was already a full grown woman.

    What's wrong with marriage again? Besides the fact she was actually 7?

  • Religion is just a perverted thing. Christianity doesn't get it that much better, in that fairy tale, god abused his position of authority and raped a 14 year old girl to produce a human version of himself.
