yes who else would i be talking about .
I don't know sir. Unlike some, I just like to establish facts before engaging.
So it's widely accepted that Aisha was pretty young when she married Muhammad (some say 6) and still young when they consummated the marriage (some say 9). Yuk, I think we can all agree this isn't right by the standards we hold in modern society.
What I'm assuming you also know is that the Quran states that marriage is void unless entered into by consenting adults.
So was Aisha an adult?
No clearly not by our standards, however, we have to look at the context. At the time adulthood was defined by the onset of puberty. It's not unheard of for puberty to hit early and therefore she becomes an 'adult' in the eyes of the culture at the time. Yuk, still not great by modern standard, BUT, context is key. Did he have sex with a child? Not by the standards of the time and what defines an adult.
So lets address history. It was a long time ago and reliable records aren't exactly easy to find because they are just words on paper that anyone can write. Oh, and at the time there were no birth certificates and the culture didn't celebrate birthdays.
Aisha had also been engaged to someone else before her marriage to Muhammad. So she was old enough to be on her second bloke?! So on this basis, I think we have to assume she was older than 6 (good!) but there is no doubt she was much younger than her husband. So she was older than 6... how old was she without birth certificates and birthdays?!
So onto some more evidence...
Historians asserted that her older sister ‘Asma’ was 10 years older than her and Asma was born 25 years before the migration of the holy Prophet. That means her younger sister in the year of the Prophet’s migration was 15 years old.
Bukhari quoted from Aisha that she was engaged to the holy Prophet 3 years after the demise of his first wife ‘Khadija’, which is the first year of his migration, when Aisha was 15 years old. The holy Prophet married Aisha two years later when Aisha would be 17 years of age.
This was all a long time ago and would have been misinterpreted in many different ways by many different opposing voices. And basically, it's a case of "we don't have a f*****g clue" but by our best guess, Aisha was somewhere between 10 - 20. We can only hope that this was towards the top end of that scale and I would suggest there is not enough evidence to suggest this marriage makes the prophet a paedophile.
