I am a 17 year old Muslim girl. While researching about Islam last night, I learned that the person we call the prophet raped a 6-year-old girl. I am thinking of leave to Islam. i am in shock right now.
Aisha's date of birth and age of marriage are not known exactly. It is claimed that she was 6 when she got engaged and 9 when she got married.
In Islam, the lower limit of marriage age is puberty. In other words, the girl's menstruation is the man's dreaming. It is the same with Judaism and Christianity. For example, there is a 12-year age difference between Mary and Jesus.
For example, although the marriage age is 18 in many European countries and states of the USA, the age of sexual consent varies between 13-17. Only in Malta and Turkey the age of sexual consent is 18, which is the same as the age at marriage. In addition, the age at marriage in the USA varies from state to state.
People who enter puberty earlier are common in hot climate countries. In fact, in Islamic catechism books, it is said that girls reach maturity at the age of 9 and boys at the age of 12. In cold climates, puberty usually begins at a later age, such as 13-14, and in these countries the lower limit for sexual intercourse is between 14-17.
For this reason, even though Aisha got married at the age in question, she entered puberty.
Some scholars interpret this narration as follows. During the Age of Ignorance, some Arab tribes (but not all) started counting the ages of girls after they reached puberty. Therefore, they argue that at this age, Aisha is not only her own age, but also her age after puberty. And they claim that he is only 18-19 years old.
Even if you were to ask if Hatice was 50 years old at the time, the fact that Hatice was working as a woman in the Arabian peninsula at that time indicates that she came from a more educated and cultured tribe.
Strong evidence that Aisha's absolute age is between 16-19 is as follows:
Aisha said, "While I was playing in the street, the 46th verse of the chapter of al-Qamar was revealed." says.
Surah Al-Qamar was revealed in 614.
Therefore, Aisha must be at least 5-6 years old to remember this. This is proof that he was born at an earlier date. In addition, her sister Esma was born 27 years before Hijra and is 10 years older than Aisha. Since Hijra was in 622, this indicates that Aisha married at a later age.
Quote the verse that says that he (peace be upon him) raped a 6 year old. The authentic Hadith says that he married her when she was 6 and consummated the marriage when she was 9. It is a very well known fact that women of that area during that time aged early. Even today you'll see a 14-15 year old from the west looking as old as 17-18 year old girl in South Asia. Consider how different it was back then. It was a norm to marry girls that early. Many other kings did that. And the condition of marriage according to shariah are tha the involved parties have reached the mental maturity of understanding the rights and laws of marriage as per Islam and their bodies have been developed. Aisha (RA) never in her narrations expressed negative emotions about the prophet (peace be upon him) and continued to work for him even after his death. Would someone who was raped ever do that?
Don't listen to the hypocrites and the Islamophobes. All their falsehood is to try to weaken the hearts of the believers.
Six might be her spiritual age or symbolic age or education and schooling age, or national immigration age, but you should be allowed to choose your religion, if you want to change yours.
Yes, he married a 6 year old girl. Disgusting, although apparently some men on here think it's okay to have sex with a 9 year old.

It's just bullshit that makes the rounds every so often to get a rise out of hotheads.
Firstly, I doubt you're anything other than a troll anyway and didn't "research" shit. Just parroted what you read from another site. But in the off chance, you're not. The allegation of "rape" has no basis in facts as neither Aisha (ra), her father, or even the avowed enemies of the Prophet (SAW) levelled such against him.
When Aisha (ra) was 6 the Muslims were mostly slaves and persecuted. The punishment for rape, even then, was death. So if you actually do "believe" in the allegation then you must also believe it a miracle that no one then thought to bring him up on it.
So stay in school, you need better research skills and it's why you're getting F's.
Yea he was a molester, he was a mass murderer, that's why there many muslim terrorists.

"The authentic Hadith says that he married her when she was 6 and consummated the marriage when she was 9" . Right, he had SEX with a nine year old.
"It is a very well-known fact that women of that area during that time aged early". -
Total bullshit. Screwing nine year olds was NOT the norm in ANY culture. This is a nothing more than a rationalization for sexual abuse.
"Even today you'll see a 14-15 year old from the west looking as old as 17-18 year old girl in South Asia." - So what? What does "looks" have to do with anything? So WHAT if a nine year old looks like a 15 year? She's still only NINE, you rapist.
This is just bullshit to justify Muslim abuse of young girls. You're right to not want to follow this "religion of peace".
It's a known fabrication spread around since the early periods of Islam. The Shi'a sect denounces this and say it is impossible for her to be 6 or 9 if you examine the timeline of events. It would place her at 19 years old according to some sources. Or between 23 and 27.
Sources say Ayshah was seven when she converted to Islam which was the first year of Muhammad's prophetic mission. She married Mohammad in the second year after Hijrah. This would make her around 22.
From what I know they consumed marriage when Aisha was 10, so it was not that far from what was considered normal then. It was common for princesses to get married at 11 or 12. Basically when a girl got her first period and was able to have children, she got married. Aisha is nothing special.
I don't know that religion, but it's probably a lie. I see a lot of people that spread misinformation about Islam. Most of the people I meet that are Muslim are usually good hearted. I don't trust anything I see online. a lot of stuff on the Internet is bullshit.
only by "subjective and perhaps wrong" western standards. they muhamed pbuh' and Aisha, were married so she willingly submitted to the culture with parental "assent" too.
Supposedly he married her when she was 6 and "consummated the marriage" (had sex) with her when she was 9. Religion is all hogwash anyways. No man is holier than another, Jesus\Muhammed\Buddha whatever. It's all just stories written by men. Nobody knows what happens after you die.
I'm not even Muslim but I'd suggest that you don't leave your faith. It's part of who you are. And plus we can't judge people from the past by today's standards. Child marriage was common all over the world back then. So was war and that involved all those actions that we now consider as war crimes.
I am not Islamic or anything but I think as you as a woman you might want to find a new religion if that’s shocking to you. I would not to be Islamic and I am a guy.
Was it rape? Don't tie modern laws to past actions.
Its not true, where you learn this fake?
Yeah
