Q: Every time I ask a Muslim why Muhammad married a 6/9 year old their usual response is that it was a common practice at that specific time. Well if it was can you name 5 other people who were at the age of 50 and married a 6/9 year old. Only FIVE. Remember these FIVE have to be between the time of 570-632 in ARABIA. I hope I am proven wrong. first answer- I am not a Christian so do not bother. Dodging the question because you cannot answer it? AJ nasser: Give me some examples then? Nimmy- what burden of proof? Surprise nobody has answered my question. Sunflower- Neither do I. But some Muslims believe she did. So I am asking them. Aj nasser- Why and I have not heard of ONE non-Muslim doctor who believes Muhammad marriage was legitimate. How pathetic no Muslim can give me FIVE examples to justify their parents marriage. justify Muhammad's marriage. Adam- This question is directed to Muslim who BELIEVE Aisha 6/9 when she married Muhammad. Adam- Fair enough. selibi- Any proof? Dawn- I have relatives in Saudi Arabia how come no of them got married at 9? Provide from me FIVE examples please. If not then just say it that you cannot Geez is it going to kill you or something? Daiz- You have a logical fallacy my great grandma was married at 30. Nice try. Happy Happily some reference would be nice.
A: Lady Ayesh was already engaged to another man who as somewhat in his 40s at that time. he is son of Mutim bin jubair. Because Abu Bakr RA embraced Islam they broke the engagement. http://www.islamonline.com/news/newsfull.php?newid=19453 However, this answer refernce gives different answer to you question. Still they too confirm that she was engaged.
