So he waited for 3 fucking years before he banged his wife???
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20306289 Marriage back then, whether in christian or jewish culture, was consummated after the girl menstruated for the first time!
Legal age of marriage was 7 in the US State of Delaware til 1917...just an example. People died back then much earlier, like 35-45 years of age, so they started having children earlier than today.
I believe you. My comment was rather sarcastic.
Regarding the source of this article... I have developed a nose for Zio-scum propagandists. I'm a member of several anti-Muslim newsletters written by Zionist scum trying to sell their beloved WW3 and discredit Islam. This website is definitely one of the bad eggs.
Bare Naked Islam
It isn't Islamophobia when they really ARE trying to kill you.I feel sorry for anyone who falls for these lies.
Oh and the owner of Bare Naked Islam, is Bonni
Intall. :)
Enough said.
Here's another source written back of March of this year:
"The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)." -- Bukhari 7.62.88
In Islam, Muhammad is the supreme example of conduct (cf. Qur'an 33:21). Thus he is exemplary even in his marriage to a child: Muslims take this seriously and imitate Muhammad in this. Article 1041 of the Civil Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran states that girls can be engaged before the age of nine, and married at nine: "Marriage before puberty (nine full lunar years for girls) is prohibited. Marriage contracted before reaching puberty with the permission of the guardian is valid provided that the interests of the ward are duly observed."
The Ayatollah Khomeini himself married a ten-year-old girl when he was twenty-eight. Khomeini called marriage to a prepubescent girl "a divine blessing," and advised the faithful: "Do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house."
Sharia Alert from the Islamic Republic of Iran: "At least 716 girls under the age of ten married off in Iran since 2009," from Persian2English, March 14 (thanks to Nicolai Sennels):
Persian2English – Farshid Yazdani, a member of the Association for the Defense of Children’s Rights, has raised the flag on the increasing rate of the marriage of girls under the age of 10 in Iran. He stated that in 2009, 449 girls under the age of 10 were married off. The number increased to 716 cases in 2011.
Yazdani added that the number of marriages for girls under 15 years of age has increased from 33,383 in 2006 to 35,931 in 2007, 37,996 in 2008, and 43,459 last year (please note that the dates are approximate as the statistics were given according to the Iranian calendar, which begins at the start of the Persian New Year).
According to Yazdani, the rate of marriages of girls under the age of 15 has had a 45% increase compared to marriages in other age brackets. He added that these figures are based on the statistics released by Iran’s Civil Registrations Office, and they should set off alarms for social activists and policy makers.
