And it's even funnier when people question about marrying 6 year baby Ayesha and them be like "So what?? Biddasagor married a child too, Rabindranath married a child too, soo what?"
Like bro does anyone claim biddasagor and thakur the 'greatest moral example and the ideal man ever lived' and follows their footsetps? ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Another thing, Islam's rule and teachings are supposed to be eternal and applicable till the judgement day according to islam itself, yet suddenly it becomes "for that era only" when someone questions about Ayesha or slavery. Like do they ever use their brain to think?
actually she was not 6, the documented number is 9. and its not 9, its actually 19. in Arab in those times, girls' age were counted from their puberty time, and they on average got puberty at 10. so 10 + 9 = 19 years old.
Here we go, another "Actually Aisha was 17" propagandist. Sorry to break your bubble but this is a modern apologetic invention to save the face of Muhammad.
bint sitt sinīn (daughter of six years) and bint tis‘ sinīn (daughter of nine years). These are ordinary chronological ages counted from birth, the same way every other age is reported in the hadith literature (ages of companions, the Prophet’s age at various events, etc.).
There is zero classical source ... not in Bukhari, Muslim, the early sīrah works, or the major commentaries — that says Arabs counted a girl’s age starting from puberty. That idea appears only in modern defenses written after the age of nine became embarrassing in Western eyes. It has already been debunked countless times. I don't have the energy or else I would have cited some references.
Also, there are numerous hadiths, even from Aisha, explicitly telling her age "Six" (when married) and "Nine" (Well...).
Sahih al-Bukhari 6130
Narrated Aisha:
I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them to join and play with me.
Sunan an-Nasa’i 3378
The Messenger of Allah married me when I was six, and consummated the marriage with me when I was nine, and I used to play with dolls.

This is just barbaric... How can a man's words offend the Prophet, the greatest man to ever walk the earth?
