Aisha's Marriage

Honest question Muslims:

What is your response to Muhammad marrying Aisha so young?

I try to understand both sides in things, and I even understand customs of the time, Western equivalents of this, and so on.

That being said, since Muhammad is the model of mankind for you, would it be acceptable for a Muslim to marry young like Aisha? How would your mosque react if you did this?

Thanks for your answers, I'm not trying to troll.

lolis are okay to marry. PEasants in republics don't get to decide these things

The way you phrase the question makes it seem like you don't know that child marriage is a thing that still happens

Marriage wasn't a license to have sex or anything. It is a contract of living as husband & wife and Rasulullah (peace and blessings upon him) married older women, girls, widows, etc for various reasons.

People did not necessarily marry in he past for the reasons you may marry someone now.

Anyway, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) by way of outliving Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings upon him) was instrumental in transmitting much of his sunnah, which is the foundation of much of our faith. She was very well respected in her time as well as now and was the Muhammad's loyal wife & companion. I say this so that you do not make assumptions about what life for her may have been like.

Lastly, it was not out of the ordinary for someone to give his daughter in marriage to someone then, or to marry someone so young. What do you think she would have done as a girl if not to marry Muhammad but to marry someone else at some point? However we are not forced to live as if we are another time when we live in this time and in these circumstances. It is nearly the universal goal of Muslims to send their daughters to university in the country where I live, for example. No formal schooling existed in Arabia at this time for boys nor for girls so we can hardly compare two completely different times & places. That may not answer the question but I seriously do not attempt place historical figures and people in modern contexts regardless of their religion

Look up marriage age laws in the U.S during the 19th century: 10 - 13 was the norm, Delaware was 7.

In the context of history this is people imposing modern morality on an ancient practice. I’m not even a Muslim and I think it’s intellectually lazy

The taqiyya is strong with this one.

"There's nothing wrong with a 54 year old man rubbing his dick between a 6 year old girl's legs! Why, he waited a whole 3 years until he was 57, and she was 9, to start fucking and sodomizing her for good!

lying shit

Between 1800 and 1900, women generally married for the first time between the ages of 20 and 22. Less is known about the average age of first marriages for men during the 19th century. In 1890, when the U.S. Census Bureau started collecting marriage data, it was recorded that the average age of a first marriage for men was 26 years, and the average age of marriage for women was 22 years.

So now you know. They just lie about it. Then, if you pull out Aisha's own account, they lie about that. Then they say it's okay, everyone was doing it.

Muslims of centuries past were decent enough to be ashamed of Aisha's age when Mohammad was plowing her; now, they use it as license to rape children.

The thing that I have an issue with is that Mohammed is supposed to be the epitome of humans, aka what he does is morally sound and also righteous. Does that mean there's nothing wrong with having sex with a 9 year old?

>When you're 57?

>taqiyya

Not a thing.

inb4 'that's taqiyya too'

Pro tip: Birthdate of Aisha and date of Marriage come from two different sources. It's likely that the dating is f'd up.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with raping children

Ok, but you didn't answer the question of child marriage being ok today. I honestly want to know

I asked that question to lots of muslims. Their answers either she wasnt that old or it was okey do that by then.

Child marriage is illegal in all Muslim countries except for Saudi Arabia, so the mainstream Muslim view on this issue is that it is wrong to marry children.

Who gives a fuck, honestly? Pedophilia was literally okay until 1900s. The fact that pornsites are full of tags like "schoolgirls" and "jailbait" proves the point.

Also, take into account life expectancy of people at those times, and you'll understand the "if she bleeds, she's ready to breed" mentality.

>t. muslim

>triple taqiyya

Bullshit. Muslims can marry 1 year olds because it is not forbidden in the quran.

Same reason they rape boys.

>Between 1800 and 1900, women generally married for the first time between the ages of 20 and 22.
>U.S. Census Bureau

fuck off. most marriages in the US up until the 20th century were common-law marriages, hence not registered. your sample is invalid

God fucked Jesus' mom Mary when she was like 11-12.
I find the whole idea of Muhammad being a pedo very hypocritical.

t. atheist.
