The matter of 'consent' arises only when the raped individual is above the age of sixteen (16) years.
I just found out that Prophet married his wife when she was 6.
What are your opinions about this muslim brothers and sisters?
Is this right? Isn't this rape?
What is the reflection of this act in the modern Islamic society?









1- Did the Prophet Marry Aisha at the age of 6?
Authentic Hadith reports do show us that the prophet Muhammad did marry Aisha at the age of 6, but they also show the consummation of the marriage was complete when she was 9 years old.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234:
Narrated Aisha:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became Allright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 236:
Narrated Hisham's father:
Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed that marriage when she was nine years old.
Sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3310:
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old.
Sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3311:
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) married her when she was seven years old, and he was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old.
Now some may object to this by saying how could the Prophet marry Aisha at such a young age. One must first understand that 1400 years ago was very different than now, times have changed and so have humans. 1400 years ago it was something very common to marry young girls, in fact they were not considered young girls, rather they were considered young women back then. It is a historic fact that girls from the ages of 9 to 14 were being married in Europe, Asia, and Africa, in fact even in the United States girls at the age of 10 were also being married just more than a century ago.
Yet with these facts no historian claims that all these people were sick perverts, historians would call anyone who made such a claim to be arrogant and very stupid who has no grasp or understanding of history.
Furthermore as to the prophets Marriage with Aisha, something people will notice is that the completion of the marriage was done when Aisha was 9 years old, not when she was 6, and there is a reason for that. The reason why this happened is because Aisha had been through puberty by the age of 9, and in Islam a female who under-goes puberty is considered a lady and is fit for marriage. Now some may say how does a girl go through puberty at the age of 9? :
this particular information was initially informed by a companion of prophet muhammed, while he was in old age, in basra(modern Iraq), during that time we was suffered from memory loss almost similar to Parkinson decease.
while we analyst the all information gathered now, when prophet mohamed marry aisha, she was either 16 or 17yrs old.
for an example i give some information to analyst by yourself. ABU BAKR HAS 2 DAUGHTER ELDER IS ASMA AND 2ND AISHA, BOTH 10 YEARS DIFFERENT, ASMA HAS DIED IN HER 100TH YRS OLD IN AFTER HIJRI 73, THEN ASMA WAS 27YRS OLD(100-73=27) WHEN PROPHET MOHAMED MAKE HIJRATH(MIGRATION), THEN AISHA SHOULD 17 YRS OLD(27-10=17), PROPHET MUHAMMED HAS MARRIED AISHA 1YEAR BEFORE MAKE HIJRATH(MIGRATION).
analyst yourself
1- If the marriage was so wrong, then why didn’t Aisha’s mother object to the marriage? Instead she happily gave Aisha for marriage, and prepared her for the marriage
2- Why didn’t Abu bakr the father of Aisha object to the marriage? If it was so wrong you would expect the father to have not allowed such a marriage to take place.
3- Why did the women who were present with Aisha when she was about to be given to the prophet for marriage wished her luck and were happy for her. If the marriage was wrong, the women present would have been sad, and they would not have been happy for Aisha, rather what we see is that they were happy for Aisha and had no problems with this marriage whatsoever.
4- Are we supposed to assume that Abu Bakr, and Aisha’s mother, and the women present with Aisha are all pedophiles and child molesters? Indeed such a conclusion with be very ignorant, and arrogant.
5- Why didn’t any of the prophet’s enemies use this against the prophet Muhammad? If the marriage was so wrong, then you would expect to find his enemies to be the first ones to start using this against him, instead what we find is that his enemies NEVER EVEN ONCE brought this marriage up in a negative way against him.
6- In fact why didn’t any of the Arabs around the Hijazi area object or talk against this marriage? It was not only the pagan Arabs in Hijaz who didn’t object to this marriage, but the surrounding Arabs didn’t object to it neither!
No.7- Are we to assume that ALL these Arabs were pedophiles and child molesters?
Again a question with no logic. Firstly whatever Aisha was feeling or was showing has nothing to do with what is right or wrong. That is why intercourse with a woman under 16 with or without her consent is considered rape. Those laws are their to ensure the well being of the society.8- Why is there not a SINGLE hadith from Aisha showing her being displeased of the marriage? Why is there not one hadith from Aisha showing her to be like a victim, instead when you look at Aisha you find no symptoms of a victim. She became a great leader for Islam, a great scholar for Islam who would teach about Islam to many men. Does this seem to be the symptoms of someone who has been abused?
9-If Aisha was indeed a victim and so on, then why did she love the prophet Muhammad so much, and would sometimes get jelous around him because she loved him so much, does this sound like someone who is a victim?
Hmm, I'm sure you dont believe that. We can never be sure what she would say if she was alive today. To be honest this question is not even worth our time. Just drop this part.10- from all the hadith literature we have, we can confidently say that if Aisha was alive today, that she would distance herself from these Christians making these sick arguments, and that she would want nothing to do with these people, this in itself speaks volumes since these people making this sick argument are supposed to be the good guys who are trying to be helpful.
All these points made here are enough to refute the Anti-Islamic’s entire position, and they themselves know this. I could show more points, showing that the age of marriage in the past used to be at a very young age, something history agrees with, but these Anti-Islamic’s are so hate filled and arrogant they will say ALL OF HISTORY is wrong but only today in our modern world we are right. Yet if we look at our modern world, we are a disgrace, and the past is much better than us, look at us today in the modern world. You have men marrying each other; you have late night television showing people having sex like animals doing all sort of sick things. You have people dropping atomic bombs on each other; you have countries invading other countries to take all their natural resources. And this is just the tip of the ice-berg, much more bad things could be said about our modern world, but something which I do find interesting is most of the bad things occurring in our modern world is a result of western Christian influenced societies, that says it all.
I agree with you. I also found some evidence suggesting that Aisha might have been older than 6 at the time of her marriage.
But please answer this question.
Some people believe that Muhammad married Aisha at the age of 6 and consummated the marriage at the age of 9. So maybe you believe something else, but Do you think it is ok to continue with child marriages today???

wot is ur definition of a child?
As soon as a child attains age (around the ages 9-11)she is ready to conceive.
Please answer my question above....![]()
Hmm I was referring to the people who are not legally adults in the modern society, When I say child marriages, I'm talking about marrying a person who is not legally an adult.
Now can you answer my question? Is it right for prophet Muhammad to marry a girl of 6?
Do you think there's any impact of this act in the modern society?
...as documented by robert knox...can you shed some light please?????boru kiyanna epa haloAs soon as a child attains age (around the ages 9-11)she is ready to conceive.


The legal boundaries has been created to suite the present culture...the culture was different those days..people married early...The prophet only lived with her after the age of 9.
Ok if you are so concerned about this ...
how can you justify the old sinhalese sharing ttheir wifes with the visitors who come to visit them......as documented by robert knox...
can you shed some light please?????
So???
if you read the things I have posted before, I have agreed that the times were different and maybe things were different.
Who says I'm concerned?? Maybe I am maybe I'm not. At the moment I'm just asking few questions to clarify things. It is a way that we learn.
Now this is really funny. Why the hell do I want to justify something, someone did some time ago? In fact what business is it of me to justify someone's actions if he did them today???? I dont speak for them.
I think I just did. BTW I did not fail to notice that you did not answer my questions. Think about that. Don't go off topic.
byeI thought u were rational...thanx for proving me wrong...ur the same as ur clan..good daybye
The legal boundaries has been created to suite the present culture...
ah? why suddenly you fear to follow muhammed??
the culture was different those days..people married early...The prophet only lived with her after the age of 9.
Gods prophet's actions were dependent on pagen culture ?? and God didnt stop him?? that means Allah the GOD's word is not timeless?? it can and should change ??
