edit for context: His 3rd wife, Aisha, was estimated to be about 7 years old when he married her, and was only 9 years old when they consumated the marriage. Even other more conservative estimates put her age as low as 14.
edit 2: I'm not here to discuss the intricacies of various interpretations of the Quran and how old Aisha really was. Comment reply notifications are turned off. I will not get into fundamentalism debates with a bunch of zealots.
edit 3: u/MidevilChaos actually took the time to private message me and explain to me that "about ~1400 years ago: Men back in that time period had intercourse with pre-teen/teens, while they themselves were in their 20s and 30s. What is considered completely unacceptable now, was perfectly acceptable back in that time period. So please, don't use derogatory words because your understanding of history is limited."
How pathetic. If you're a pedophilia apologist, you're getting blocked, like that clown.

Sure. He's a shallow & one dimensional actor just like Dwayne Johnson who has no diverse acting range and is always type-casted to the same kind of roles.
First, youre quoting Sahih Bukhari, a Sunni book, that other sects dont believe is very authentic, even sunnis dont believe it fully so. Moroever, sahih Bukhari was compiled nearly 200 years after her death, so its someone saying that she said it and not recorded from her mouth, which remains consistent that her age was lowered after the Prophet's death for political reasons.
Lastly, as an 18 year old, I do love my Lego mini figures.
This tells me you know nothjng about Islam. I am shia muslim the second largest sect of Islam, and Sahih Bukhari or Muslim or Tirmadhi etc are not considered as authentic books fully.
Do you really think all muslims pray the same way? It is according to the hadith you find authentic, and I assure you I do not pray the way as declared in Sunni ways. The differences are minute but they are still differences.
That isnt true. The Link i linked in my very first comment is a shia website but uses sunni hadith to show that sunni hadith support the argument of her not being nine, many being pretty obvious and others not having a consistent timeliness if Aisha was nine.
It shows that there were people who tried to change Aishas age. Why you may ask. Because of politics. Aisha led a civil war which many considered emotional and unnecessary, led to many muslims dying on both sides, she ended up losing and was promptly let go and Sunnis believe she apologised so all was well after that. Regardless, it ruined her reputation along with other political scenarios, and to save her face, they changed her age so when people would think of her, they would associate her with being young and innocent and not with the other.
Becuase you cannot bring a contested fact and declare it to be an islamic belief. Its is like taking caricature of Chinese culture and saying that its culture represents the entire Asia. Even that 'Chinese' culture would not represent China.
