Ok forgive me if i got the age wrong... cuz truth is i don't know much about it..
Anyways a couple of people i know there the non religious types started talking about peodphiles and one said well" technically Muhammad is one since he married a 7 year old"
and they was just laughing and one goes "would he have consummated the marriage?" know i no how they are the kind to cause offense to people and not realize it.... to be honest i just turned around and started to speak to sum1 else trying to ignore what was being said cuz like i didnt no how to defend it and i felt really bad cuz i don't know much about the whole thing.... thing is he even said he don't know much but thats what his heard so i understand why one in todays society would assume such a thing and especially with the media not on our side either it doesn't help...
So i've got a serious of questions and i only think its right if i get answers so in the future i could defend the Prophet....
So....
Why did the prophet have a 7 year old wide? ( or was she older and the age has just been changed)
Was she mature? as in...had she started her periods and stuff?
Was the marriage consummated? ( dumb question i mean ofcourse it must have but just its all a bit weird maybe cuz of todays society)
Was it cuz of tradition? it was something done back in those days hence it wasnt so bad?
any other information about this wife please would help?
Your views on the whole thing?
thank you
PS: i'm sorry if i offend anyone but i'm just trying to find answers....
