You are correct. Aisha wasn't nine years old when Mohammed married her. She was six years old when he married her - according to her own words. She was nine years old when he consummated began raping her. Mohammed was more than 50 years old at the time.
These accounts of Mohammed raping a 9-year-old little girl and molesting little boys are no less reliable than those on which the five pillars of Islam are based. They have been an accepted part of Islamic tradition and did not become controversial until increasing Western awareness and scrutiny of Islam revealed its horrors.
Hadith is the Arabic word for report, account, or narrative.
In Islam, the hadith (plural: ahadith) are reports of the words and actions of Mohammed.
Ahadith are graded according to their authenticity.
The most authentic ahadith are graded sahih.
The authority of the ahadith is second only to that of the Koran. So let's look at what the most authentic ahadith, those reports graded "sahih," say about the age of Aisha, Mohammed's favorite child-bride, at the time of their marriage and consummation:
Hisham's father said: "Khadija died three years before Mohammed departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed that marriage when she was nine years old."
Aisha said that Mohammed married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).
Urwa said: "Mohammed wrote the marriage contract with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)."
Aisha said: "The messenger of Allah married me when I was seven years old. The narrator Sulaiman said: or six years. He had intercourse with me when I was nine years old."
Aisha reported that Allah's apostle married her when she was six years old, and he (Mohammed) took her to his house when she was nine, and when he (Mohammed) died she was eighteen years old.
Aisha said: "The messenger of Allah married me when I was seven or six. When we came to Medina, some women came. according to Bishr's version: Umm Ruman came to me when I was swinging. They took me, made me prepared and decorated me. I was then brought to the messenger of Allah and he took up cohabitation with me when I was nine.
Aisha said: "Mohammed engaged me when I was a girl of six years. We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew again and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, 'Best wishes and allah's blessing and a good luck.' Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age."
"Aisha said that Mohammed married her when she was seven years old, and she was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when he died she was eighteen years old."
Mohammed was more than 50 years old. Aisha was a 9-year-old little girl. That is sick, depraved, and wrong. That is pedophilia.
Contemporary clerics warn Muslims against succumbing to the disapproval of child "marriage" in the the West: "It behooves those who call for setting a minimum age for marriage to fear Allah and not contradict his Sharia, or try to legislate things Allah did not permit. For laws are Allah’s province; and legislation is his exclusive right, to be shared by none other. And among these are the rules governing marriage.”
You are correct. Aisha wasn't nine years old when Mohammed married her. She was six years old when he married her - according to her own words. She was nine years old when he
consummatedbegan raping her. Mohammed was more than 50 years old at the time.And Mohammed didn't only like little girls. And he enjoyed sucking on the tongues and lips of little boys. He liked to put his tongue in the mouths of little boys, too.
