>>66408Pedophilia is forbidden in Islam.
Women 1400 years ago matured much faster in a world where life expectancy was around 40-50 years. It was a natural adaptation, and women would marry early before they became old and infertile.
That being said, there are varying accounts as to Aisha's age (ra) at marriage, but the Prophet Muhammad did not consummate the marriage until much later. Furthermore, Muhammad did not approach her, rather her father was the one who offered her for marriage, and had he thought his daughter was not of age, he would not have offered her hand in marriage in the first place.
Also, if indeed this action was frowned upon, then the unbelievers of Mecca would have been the first people to denounce Muhammad for this. They did not, because it was a common and necessary practice that was not out of the ordinary. It is only after 1400 years that people look upon that era with the same close-minded ideas that apply today. If one wants to look and analyze the past, then he must remove the 21st century goggles he is wearing.
