[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you feel about Muhammed marrying a 9 year old?  Do you consider him a pedophile? If not, would you allow your 9yr old girl to marry a 50 something prophet (assuming that "the prophet" returned?[/quote]

Does it bother you that Mary was 12 or 13 when she gave birth to Jesus?
You know even in the United States about 100 yrs ago it was normal for 12 and 13 yr olds to get married.[/quote]

Maybe Aisha was a mature 9?  Yes, 12/13 was the norm in those days, soon after their first period, but Aisha was 6 or 7 when actually married and then 9 when she moved in with her 53 year old husband (which was ANCIENT at that time).

not only do I know that in the US it was normal for a 12/13yr old to marry, but I EVEN know that in other parts of the world it is still the norm, but I'm not so sure where marrying and haivng sex with 9yr olds is the norm.

I've read that in warmer climates some girls reach puberty sooner. My own mother was 8 or 9 when she reached puberty.[/quote]
