Aisha's elder sister, Asmaa' Bint Abi Bakr, was reportedly ten years older than Aisha.
Asmaa' was born 27 years before the Bi'thah (start of Islam).
The Prophet remained in Makkah for 13 years before migrating to Madinah.
Therefore, at the time of the Prophet's migration to Madinah, Asmaa' would have been 27 + 13 = 40 years old.
Since Aisha was ten years younger than Asmaa', Aisha would have been 40 - 10 = 30 years old at the time of the Hijrah.
The marriage was consummated two years after the Hijrah, which would make Aisha 32 years old at the time of consummation.
This calculation is supported by the statement that Aisha was born seventeen years before the Bi'thah, leading to the same conclusion: 17 years (before Bi'thah) + 13 years (in Makkah) = 30 years old at Hijrah, and 32 years old at consummation.
