Muhammad Married A Six Year Old Child

Quoted from the "ISLAM MUHAMMAD & THE KORAN" MUHAMMAD FROM HIS BIRTH TO HIS DEATH Chapter 3

Muhammad Married A Six Year Old Child

Aisha, daughter of Abu-Bakr was a beautiful little girl. Muhammad married her when he was fifty three years old and she was only six years old. He had intercourse with her when she was nine years old. (Wives of the Prophet, pages 57-61).

This is a gross case of child abuse by the prophet of Islam.

When Muhammad married Aisha, he set an example for the Muslims. To this day older Muslim men marry much younger girls, following Muhammad's example.

The Egyptian weekly magazine Almussawar printed a letter sent to Ameenah Al-Saaeed, one of its editors, from a woman who was a teacher of languages in Egypt. The letter appeared in the September 6, 1991 issue. Here is a part of that letter:

Dear mother Ameenah Al-Saaeed:

    My problem is. . . my husband came home with a friend who is about his age. He requested that our daughter "Marwa" who is nine years old bring tea to his friend. At night he told me with great joy that his friend agreed to marry "Marwa." His friend is fifty years old, "Marwa" is nine years old. When I objected, he told me that he is following the prophet Muhammad's example when he engaged Aisha when she was six years old and had sex with her when she was nine years old as is written in Sahih Al-Bukhary.
Muhammad Sobhi Alantabli, a high ranking police officer, sent a letter to the same editor, which was printed in Almussawar magazine in the December 20, 1991 issue. Here is a part of that letter:
    The chief of a tribe invited me to attend his wedding. He was eight four years old and his bride was fourteen years old. "Why do you marry a girl who is much much younger than you?" I asked. "Because my other three wives became old, and when the woman gets old she will be like a rusty car. I mean a car covered by rust," he answered. The young bride's father was very happy because of that marriage.
