that's what i believe as well.
we already have proof now that she was around 18 or 19 when she god married and why don't these people realize that there was no age restriction in marriage at the time, not just in the arab nations, but in LOTS OF PLACES AROUND THE WORLD.
i can't imagine where you heard or read that!
also Christians believe that Mary got in a relationship with Joseph but after she gave birth to Jesus (pbuh), but Mary was around 12 or 13 and Joseph was over 50 years old.
we do not have evidence for that, Islamic evidence.
on the side note : i was told by my mom that Prophet Joseph was not around in the time of Mary, is this true?
you'd be correct in that! by like 1500 years! but no one was implying THAT Joseph; they mean somebody else.
can someone please clarify

i would posit an interesting theory. there is another thread around somewhere that has the 1st part of a series of talks with John Taylor Gatto. he ended up studying the history of public education. he contends that public education is a means of controlling people and that keeping children behaving like children for as long as possible is one of the most important ways to brainwash them. i am implying that elements of the west see her tender age as a threat! it is thus attacked.
besides that, one must look at other factors. how about survival of the nation? i was listening to a lecture by a Professor at Loyola. he mentioned that during the Roman empire, couples need to average 10 offspring just to maintain an even population. deaths in infancy, wars, disease thinned out populations at a large rate. each society had their own ideas of when folks should marry. no one is saying that every woman should get married at 9. in Aiyishah's case it was proper. consider the the Prophet, pbuh, had many wives and 6 or 7 children; how many survived him? 2!
the new extended childhood is a recent invention. if you can play video games until you are 35, why would you want to bother with a wife and kids? they would only delay you acquiring carpal tunnel. the powers that think they rule the world want a much reduced population. they are NOT Muslim. if they convince everyone under their spell to have 2.3 children and their numbers fall, what happens when the Muslims have 6 to 12 kids? guess who ends up in control of the planet then!
Allah knows best, and those that refuse to accept that fear Islam immensely. they are not simply saying something that you do not like. they want you to change your standards to theirs. it would be easier to control you that way. it is the work of shaytan. if you prefer a nice house and TV in every room, assume the role of consumer rather that producer, then you have unavoidably joined them. you will become a sheep as well.
nor do they want you to start a business and compete for their capital. they want YOUR capital. ever wonder why Xmas is such a huge holiday in the west? you can be young [and duped] forever!
learn Qur'an and sunnah. focus on Jannah. eternal life not eternal childhood!
you may return to your regularly scheduled program!...
