Why did Prophet Muhammad PBUH marry a child, Aisha? Is that not illegal?
According to widely accepted accounts, Prophet Muhammed
, married Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), when she was six. The marriage was consummated three years later.
It is interesting to note however, that Ibn Ishaq, the most authoritative historian of the life of the Prophet Muhammed
, mentioned the names of Aisha and, her sister, Asma amongst the earliest of people who accepted Islam. The Prophet’s (SAW) marriage with Aisha was consummated (i.e. she moved to his house) three years after the contract/engagement, and this took place in Madina. Since the Meccan period alone was 13 years, it is much more likely that the contract took place at the age of 16 and that the marriage was consummated at the age of 19. Whether or not this is true, it is an interesting point to note.
Acceptability in certain practices varies across culture and across time. Even in America there was a time when there were no laws restricting the age of marriage, and some were married at the age of 12 or 13. States, then, started to limit the age of marriage to 14 and, in some states, 16. All such practices and related law are tied to the socio-cultural practices of the time and place.
In terms of the marriage practices in Arabia during the time of the Prophet
, there are some important points. First, you could negotiate the marriage of a minor child and have a contract for marriage, like an engagement, in those times, without the actual marriage taking place until the age of adolescence. There is evidence that this practice was accepted in Islam. The enemies of the Prophet
never raised any issue about his marriage to Aisha which, also, shows that it was a social norm in that culture at that time. Islam actually added some restriction to this practice. It allowed the engagement contract in childhood, but this becomes null and void if the two parties reach the age of adolescence and do not agree with what their guardians arranged. Secondly, Islam explicitly placed the minimum marriageable age at adolescence, rather than an arbitrary, chronological age. Adolescence can vary from one culture to another.
Islamic scholars are unanimous that the Prophet’s marriage to Aisha was a singular act of tremendous wisdom. Aisha, as the youngest wife of the Prophet, was in a position to observe many aspects of the Prophet’s life, and imbibe spiritual knowledge from a young age. She lived many years after his demise, and conveyed thousands of authentic traditions of the Prophet. Many Companions of the Prophet
looked up to her for guidance, and her scholarship has been a boon to Islam and the wider world.

O People! Your GOD is one and your father is one. You are all from ADAM and ADAM is from dust. An Arab is not superior to non-Arab, and a non-Arab is not superior to an Arab. A white has no superiority over a black, nor does a black have superiority over a white. You are all equal. Nobody has superiority over others except through piety and good action.

Who cares what was done back then? As a prophet of ALLAH, he should have been informed that by the 21st century it would become unacceptable.
Are you comparing mohammed to the average human being who live back then and had no "two-way dialog" with ALLAH? Why did all-knowing ALLAH fail to inform him?

nadeeshaF said:Today peadophilia is illegal and considered a criminal offence in most countries. By today's standards mohammed is a peadophile.
How come the god's last prophet failed to forsee that? The only answer is, he was no god's prophet since god would surely have informed him. Poor delusional mohammed.

Don't try to compare apples with oranges. Having sex with a child is not the same as prostitution is it?
Even in countries were prostitution is legal on a regulated basis, peadophilia is still a crime. Because there is a huge difference between bonking a child who had no choice, and having sex with an adult who had a choice.
Muslim logic never makes sense, lolz, prostitution similar to peadophilia? What next?

Hi.. this is my first post in this thread and I have to say something important, which I noticed.
Ideally, women are tend to be soft by nature (they should be), soft spoken, and maintain very high decency levels. She should only be pleasing her husband and not talk to any other males ideally, except her immdiate family and closest relatives (who she cannot definitely marry).
Everyone loves to have a perfect obedient wife (to the husband and Lord), there are good women out there, everyone loves such good women.
But I see very disappointing behaviour from someone, who calls herself, sister NadeeshaF.
She seems to have no shame in discussing sex related things with guys openly, what a shame! It is very contrary to an ideal decent woman, especially, when Sri Lanka has a very good decent culture, and she is a shame for the country.
If she wanted to discuss these issues really, with a good purpose, she could ask her husband to do so. If she is unmarried, it is always good to keep shut until marriage, since what she does now, only provokes bad.
I never saw any other woman involved in discussing such things here, so Sri Lanka is still a good country.
Nothing wrong with discussing, but... I do see it is very shameful for a woman to get involved and discuss such things with guys, after all, it is an act of immodesty. (see her informal word usage at times.. Very shameful)
She doesn't seem to be kind and soft-spoken either. Many of her posts are abusive and aggressive, which isn't womanly. I do not think any guy with a proper mind is going to like her, if she doesn't change.
She also seems to have a psychological problem. She doesn't seem to clarify issues or help with them in the forum (objections are fine, but in a logical and useful manner), rather, she wants to break-in and disrupt with the issue. These are the people who are likely 'breakers', rather than 'makers'.
So instead of the topic being discussed, people answer her stupid questions, which diverts attention from a much needed topic.
Sure, she seems fragile and funny appearing to be a less-intelligent person, but if you do answer her question for fun, please also make sure you make a useful contribution to the thread. After all, she doesn't seem to have a goal, just seem to be someone psychologically disturbed.
But we have hope. Every person in the world could change. Everyone in the forum, please, make supplications to purify her.
I hope, soon, she will be purified from everything and become a very good, decent girl.
After all, she could be and she should be!! I am very sympathetic about her (and everyone should)!
Other than that.. This is a nice forum........

Hold on, what the hell are you smoking? Do you want me to lower my gaze and wear a burlap sack as well? What a load of bullshit you've unloaded here. Also what makes you think I'm here to appeal to men and find a husband? What a pathetic assertion by you. This is an Internet forum, not a bloody harem! Typical male muslim chauvinist, trying to stereotype women. Your mind seems to be lodged somewhere in the 5th A.D. Here's a tip, save the etiquette advice for your own kind! I am entitled to discuss whatever as long as its within the forum rules. Your prudish backward chauvinistic opinions aren't going to hold me back from shedding light on the outdated laws of Mohammed.
Did you also fail to notice that this thread is titled, " REPLIES TO THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS ASKED BY NON-MUSLIMS"? I am non-muslim, and I had a legitimate question, which nobody has been able to provide a satisfactory answer to. That must be what irked you enough to crawl out of the woodworks and belittle me. You must be very intelligent.
Can you also tell me where I was not clear enough, what needs to be clarified? If you cannot comprehend the simple english I've put in here, the problem lies with you.
Keep trying, you cannot silence me.
