    Muhammad lived in a different time period when many wives was given to powerful men. So he had many wives and some as young as 6 or 9 years old. Which was common. Solomon had almost 1000 wives and some were barely old enough to leave their familys.

    It was part of the culture of the time and still is in some places , of course those with high levels of goodness always rise above culture , that is the point of a spiritual leader , as an Evolutional Goodhist I see the most fatal flaw in Islam that harmful/negative thought is not seen as sinful , of course its hard to have only positive /non harmful thought when you are planning war , its time for reformation of all old regions .

    Because 13 was a marriageable age back then, since the average lifespan was only about 40 years and 13 was within the age of "sexual maturity"

    She was 6 when he forced her to marry him and waited until she was 9 to have sex with her. Because that's when she started her period, and was thought then to be a woman. Muslim men today still do this.

    Such aristocratic marriages were common. There was no age of consent back then. Generally men waited until a girl had her menses before consumating the marriage.

    It doesn't do much for his credibility, does it - and neither do the primitive,

    repressive, misogynistic, covetous, control-obsessed, forensically insane

    aspects of the Instruction Book he slapped together as a Bible substitute.

    There are serious medical, genetic, social and psychological impacts on

    people trapped in that ideology .. (generations urged to marry first-cousins /

    genital mutilation / people forced to hide in alarming cloaked coverings, who

    can only peer out through flymesh or little peep-holes / gender inequality /

    intolerance of religious FREEDOM (control) / serious lack of control of lust

    in civilized communities / ingrained disrespect and hatred of other cultures /

    continuing clandestine acceptance of child brides and pedophilia). for example.

    The politicians and social engineers who are responsible for the failure of that

    divisive experiment have a lot of blood on their hands, and will be accountable,

    as in the unlearned lessons of history.

    Morale of this question: Both Muslims and Christians believe in pedophiles. Now all those pastors raping kids makes since.

    He didn't fck her until she was nine.

    What I usually hear is that Aisha was seven years old when they married, but Mo didn't consummate the relationship until she was nine. Until then, he just rubbed himself off between her butt cheeks.
