Also Jews married young girls, Roman did as well, so him getting married to a young girl is not new. Many were promised marriage very young. You can't compare the old customs to todays.
the custom was for marriages being arraigned by the consenting parents of minors and consummated by the time they were both 14 or so.
Even in the most primitive cultures ever known, a 53 year old man consummating a marriage to a prepubescent 9 year old girl was perverse...
oh thanks----now I remember----she went to live in his house at age six----
and the consummation was age nine-----according to her very own account---
somewhere there in the "book" sometimes when muslims say "it is not in the Koran----it really means ----its in the hadiths but not in the Koran--------not that I care.. For jews-----by Talmudic times ----consummation of a marriage was
not supposed to happen until the girl is at least 12.5--------for "godknowswhat"
reason -----not that I care------even in the USA---out in the hills ----girls sometimes marry at age 12--------or so. not that I care
12.5 years. really, I wonder how these Rabbis determined that? 12 is the no. of months so maybe it means some coming of age thing, and we'll give her 6 months to ripen, ya think.
So Muhammad wasn't too far off. Well Jews go by the Babylon Talmud more than the Torah as well.
Goes to show just how ignorant you are.
The Talmud is supplementary tannaim (teaching) and amoraim (expounding) to the doctrines of the Tanakh, it is not the superlative guide for observant Jews. Nor is the Rabbinical commentary and discussion found in the Talmud axiomatic or immutable.
The Sahih ahadith is the source of deriving the Sunnah or ways and behaviors of Mohammed, which Muslims must try and emulate at all points of human history. So when it says that Mohammed consummated a marriage with a 9 year old girl when he was 55- there is an element of divine countenance that can't be challenged by the Muslim community, hence you see millions of Mohammed-Aisha pairings throughout the Muslim world today. :vomit
Shaam----it's hopeless------those who understand that which you posted---already knew-----the others -----are not teachable
