There are enough 'perceived' adult women of todays world well into their 20s who have teddy bears of all sorts in the room ! If you say thats alright then thats being double standard !You are viewing the 9 year of today and yesteryears in the same light ! There is a vast difference of women of today and before. Even if you take our grandmothers and women of today , the women of earlier times were a lot more mature , they became mothers at a much younger age than what you see in todays society ! They took on LIFE at a much younger age than women of today.They didnt grow up watching cartoons and eating cornflakes !  Like the link mentioned 'Even in our times in certain parts of the world the age of marriage is still relatively low. According to a chart on (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent#Ages_of_consent_in_various_countries" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent#Ages_of_consent_in_various_countries</a> ) the age of consent in Mexico and Philippines is only 12. In Guyana, Japan, South Korea, Spain and Swaziland the age of consent is 13. Hence even in ?Today's Times' a young marriage is not abnormal, as some in the west think.Should the people of United Kingdom, where the age limit is higher, be correct in slandering the people of Philippines/Mexico where the age limit is much lower and thus married at young age? Of course not! Or if within few centuries the age of marriage rises up to 20, then should those people have a right to slander those who lived at our times and married before 20? By the same token, we should not criticize the marriage of the Prophet based on the norm of our time.'This not stop people from getting married ! Ofcourse marriage brings about responsibility and stress but your omitting all the positives it brings! If by your theory no one really should get married cz 'its stressful' . Your 'laws of today' change today and tomorrow like no ones business ! Its inconsistent ! Right should be right and Wrong should be wrong Objectively ! and not subjectively to culture,place or time ! Thats like saying dont hold on to any morals because eventually they are all going to change sooner or later!Besides from a budhist perspective does it say it is wrong ! I mean are there laws there that draws the line between an adult and a child ? Do you have laws there that state that it wrong for a man of older or even younger age to marry a 9 year old woman who has attained puberty ?</blockquote>
