The Islamaphobe’s Glass House

[azc]

Islamaphobes claim that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a paedophile, arguing that he married ‘A’isha (Allah be pleased with her) when she was too young. Islamic Law (Shari’ah), say these critics, condones paedophilia by allowing marriage to children. Most of these Islamaphobes come from Jewish and Christian backgrounds. Yet, the truth is that these Jews and Christians live in a great big glass house; in this book, we will throw stones at this house and completely shatter it. Islamic Law (Shari’ah) does in fact allow some nine year old girls to be married. But as we shall prove in this book, Jewish Law (Halacha) sets the minimum age of marriage at three years of age, whereas Christian Law asserts that the absolute minimum age of marriage is seven years old.First, we will cite the Jewish and Christian Law from a theological standpoint. Then, we will establish the historical proof that Jews and Christians routinely married their daughters off at an extremely young age—younger than ‘A’isha (Allah be pleased with her). After this, we will cite numerous examples of Christian prophets, saints, popes, kings, royals, and nobles who either themselves married girls of such a young age or who actively condoned it.After having dealt with the Jewish and Christian criticism, we will shift our focus to the rest of the world, proving that marriage at such a young age was something considered normal in all ancient civilizations. We will cite so many examples from so many cultures that it will leave the staunchest Islamaphobes at a loss for words. Finally, we will look at the Islamic Law, the Prophet’s marriage to ‘A’isha (Allah be pleased with her), and the medicolegal aspects of paedophilia.The honest reader will become convinced, the stubborn opponent will be routed, and the truth-seeker will be guided to the path of Islam.

Something people seem to forget is that archaically marriage was ALWAYS young centuries ago. You always have these depictions of princesses in media catered towards children where the princess is an adult. This is rarely ever the case, they were at average around 13 to 15, the range for puberty. People did not live long and this is the norm.
On top of this is that biologically speaking it is natural, granted we do not do this now for ethical reasons based on the principles of individualism it was done historically because marriage had far different values. Islam expresses this explicitly in the fact that marriages are contractual and the bonding of two families.

Now a days marriage does not involve the extended family. So that no longer holds for the west at least. Although I will say that Muhammad married younger than average at that time as far as Aisha goes. But still not a big deal
