Post by: Introvert98 on June 06, 2016, 03:14:01 AM
From the hadith of the Sunan of Abu Dawud, volume 2, #2116

"Aisha said, "The Apostle 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 9 years old."

As'salamu Alaikum,

Me personally, I am not sure about Aisha's age.  But assuming that she was 6 when the Prophet married her, and 9 when the Prophet consummated the marriage with her, this still doesn't refute anything, because we have worse in the Bible.  Plus, in the USA, the State of Delaware had the minimum age at 7 up until the early 1900s.  Also countless US states had the minimum age as 10.  Please visit:

Take care,
