Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage and the sexualization of children are taken for granted in wide swaths of the Islamic world.
“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).
Another tradition has Aisha herself recount the scene:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, “Best wishes and Allah’s Blessing and a good luck.” Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age. (Bukhari 5.58.234).
Muhammad was at this time fifty-four years old. Nowadays in the West there are elaborate efforts to deny all this. An Islamic scholar/apologist named Joshua Little has constructed an elaborate argument from close study of the chains of transmitters (isnads) of various traditions about Aisha, claiming that those traditions, despite appearing in Sahih Bukhari, the hadith collection Muslims consider most reliable, are actually inauthentic. Little’s argument, however, is absurd and self-contradictory. He acknowledges that the hadiths are late and unreliable from a historical standpoint, and even admits that the chains of transmitters, like the stories themselves, were freely forged. Then he bases his whole argument for the traditions being inauthentic even on Islamic grounds on the basis of the isnads that he just admitted could be forged. He claims to be able to determine the age of various traditions by how they were forged, but here is argument is so conjectural and subjective as to be essentially worthless.
Little is also a standard-issue lemming academic. He denounces people he calls “Islamophobes” for making much of Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha. He ignores the primary reason why anyone cares about this: not because, as he claims, “Islamophobes” contend that Muhammad’s example forces Muslims to condone child marriage, but because all too many Islamic authorities do condone child marriage. In April 2011, the Bangladesh Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini declared that those trying to pass a law banning child marriage in that country were putting Muhammad in a bad light: “Banning child marriage will cause challenging the marriage of the holy prophet of Islam, [putting] the moral character of the prophet into controversy and challenge.” He added a threat: “Islam permits child marriage and it will not be tolerated if any ruler will ever try to touch this issue in the name of giving more rights to women.” The Mufti said that 200,000 jihadists were ready to sacrifice their lives for any law restricting child marriage.
Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in January 2018 that under Islamic law, girls as young as nine can marry.
“Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this” — Ishaq Akintola, professor of Islamic Eschatology and Director of Muslim Rights Concern, Nigeria
“There is no minimum marriage age for either men or women in Islamic law. The law in many countries permits girls to marry only from the age of 18. This is arbitrary legislation, not Islamic law.” — Dr. Abd Al-Hamid Al-‘Ubeidi, Iraqi expert on Islamic law
There is no minimum age for marriage and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.” — Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council
“Islam does not forbid marriage of young children.” — Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology
“Ban on child marriage is deemed ‘un-Islamic’ by Pakistan’s religious leaders,” by David Averre, Daily Mail, May 29, 2025:
A new law banning child marriage in Pakistan has been criticised by a prominent council for being ‘un-Islamic’.
Pakistan’s government last week passed the Child Marriage Restraint Bill, which aims to put an end to minors being forced into marriages and cohabitation with adults.
The legislation, set to be signed into effect by President Asif Ali Zardari, will see adults found to be cohabiting with minors punished by up to seven years in a prison and a fine of one million rupees (£2,663) on charges of statutory rape.
It is set to roll out in the Pakistani capital Islamabad, with hopes that other parts of the country will introduce the law in short order.
But Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology – a prominent body that advises the government of the Muslim majority nation ‘whether or not a certain law is repugnant to Islam’ – has opposed the bill.
The council said in a statement published Tuesday: ‘Declaring marriage below the age of eighteen as child abuse and prescribing punishments for it, and other controversial provisions, are not in line with Islamic injunctions.
‘Overall, the Council rejected the bill. It also clarified that this bill was not sent to the Council for review by the Parliament or the Senate.
‘Marriage should be protected from unnecessary legal complications, and a public awareness campaign in this regard could prove more effective,’ it argued….

Coming to the UK soon for these monsters, along with all the rest already here.
Effing savages!
John says
The Bible has no minimum age. Mary was 14yo when she got pregnant and ghosted.
The Torah has minimum age of 7 the Muslims copied it
somehistory says
Balderdash. Put Book, chapter and verse to prove your lies. You can’t.
And your comment seems to imply that you are okay with little girls being forced to endure daily rape.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
If, somehow, I missed something, I felt compelled to research it.
You are correct.
somehistory says
Thank you, James.
I AM THE INFIDEL YOUR IMAM WARNED YOU ABOUT says
At John
So let’s get this straight….what you’re saying is that marrying a girl under 6 or 7 is ok. You are perverted and mentally sick which makes me believe that John may not be your real name .. that you’re a muslim. You are suffering from serious brain rot and you need to be euthanized before you cause more damage to humankind.
somehistory says
This is no surprise because mozscummies see all evil as good….or they claim it to be so….and all things good as bad.
Isaiah wrote about them and began the verse with the words, “Woe to those….putting evil for good, bitter for sweet, and darkness for light.”
We’ve been hearing, reading and seeing this evil, bitter darkness for a long time. I’m looking forward to the “woe” coming upon the evil ghouls.
Raping a child and calling it “marriage” is one of the most evil, demonic, selfish, and crude things mozscummies do.
Just as their fake ‘prophet’ decided to claim an angel ordered something every time he wanted that *something,* his followers do the same thing. They decide to keep raping little girls because they are beasts with an insatiable lust to rape and murder.
Woe. It can’t come upon them too soon.
Edward McMunn says
Their “law” also says they can rape any non-muslim they want. Another good reason to ban islamists from the USA like our fathers did tn the 1950s.
John1 says
If Muslims want to live in the sixth century, fine with me. Just stay out of my country, and don’t expect the west to feed clothe and house you because you’re so ignorant and barbaric. Pakistan just made that marriage law so they can get more aid from the west. They’ll never enforce it. They’re too busy looking for Christians that made fun of Mohammed on the Internet so they can sentence them to death.
Tim gallagher says
A bunch of knuckle dragging, evil, pedophile maggots, which is all these scum are, decides that in 2025 pedophilia is just fine. Islam needs to be banned from all enlightened societies. It needs to be kept in knuckle dragging Muslim societies
abu taleb says
The Indonesian Council of Islamic Clerics says there is no age limit in Islam to marry a girl.
There clerics can say it with a straight face. Maybe they like it too.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
It’s also how David Wood’s muslim debaters Daniel Haqiqatjou, Mohammed Hijab & others claim that if one ignores the hadiths, one can have sex w/ an infant
islam is not a religion: it’s a geopolitical, ideological cult masquerading as a religion
skeptiker says
Die häßliche Fratze des Islam !!
࿗Infidel࿘ says
So why does Pakistan have 16 or 15 as their minimum marriage age? They should just lower it to 6 or 9, depending on how they read those hadiths
Walter Sieruk says
The reason why the Pakistan Council of Islamic ideology had declared that the ban on child marriage to Adult Muslim men is to be un-Islamic. This reason that Islamic council ruled that way and therefore allows little girl marriage to adult Muslim males is because that Islamic ideology is based on Islamic theology and the example set by the prophet of Islam, Muhammad.
To put this in another, more detailed , way. Muslims view their Prophet Muhammad and their take him as the perfect module to follow as an example of how to live their own lives.
Therefore, male Muslim marriage of an adult man to a young girl who is really only a child of common in the world of Islam. One of the “reasons” for this female child abuse in Islam is because of the corrupt and perverse wickedness in the hearts of men. This is seen and described in the Bible with reads “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9. [N.K.J.V.]
Furthermore, another “reason” girl/child marriages occur with middle aged and even old men is because the founder and prophet of Islam Muhammad married a child. Muslims throughout history as well as in current times actually view Muhammad as a “perfect man” and a “great example for them to follow.”
This well might prove the old saying to be true .The saying is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
It’s also wise to remember prophet Muhammad did likewise engaged in brutal, ruthless murderous warfare. As do Muslims today such as the jihadist Muslim of ISIS, al Qaeda, Hezbollah Hamas and so forth. Many that old saying, just sited above, also explains the excuse for Muslim terrorism in the world today.
Jesus Himself taught “By their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:20. Which might explain the vile child “marriage” of Muhammad and his violent and deadly behavior .Likewise also explains the twenty- first century Muslims who in child marriages and blood and murderous violence of Islam .As they see the prophet Muhammad d as their example of who to follow.
With all this about the fruits of Islam along with fruits history reveals about the life of the prophet of Islam, Muhammad .It thus further appropriate to make known that it might be in keeping with teaching of Jesus that Muhammad could well have been an actual prophet . Nevertheless the very most important thing to understand is the Muhammad was not a prophet send by God. Instead Muhammad was a lying deceptive false prophet send by Satan to start a false religion to lead many people astray.
For Jesus taught “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” Matthew 7:15.
Walter Sieruk says
The Islamic practice of an adult male Muslim having a marriage with a little girl who is only a child is part of Islam since all Muslim admire the prophet of Islam, Muhammad and attempt to live like him and he did marry a 9 year old girl.”.
Nevertheless this heinous Islam tradition is accepted as “normal “in most of the Islamic world. Therefore, this may serve as an example of how the influence of Islam is able to warp the cogitation of the human mind to the extent that a person who is a Muslim might not be able to understand the obvious difference between right and wrong.
Such an awful thing as not having the discerning mental power to seethe clear difference is described in the Bible. For in Isaiah 5:20. “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil…” [N.K.J.V.]
