How old was Aisha when Prophet Muhamed married her?
490851
It is not clear when Aisha was born. Most scholars calculate her age, by reference to the date of her marriage to Muhammad (622) and then subtracting her age at marriage. However, there are many theories as to her age at marriage.\n\nAisha was the daughter of Abu Bakr of Mecca. They belonged to the Bani Tamim clan of the tribe of the Quraysh, the tribe to which Muhammad also belonged. Aisha is said to have followed her father in accepting Islam when she was still young. She also joined him in his migration to Ethiopia in 615 CE; a number of Mecca's Muslims emigrated then, seeking refuge from persecution by the Meccans who still followed their pre-Islamic religions.\n\nAccording to the early Islamic historian al-Tabari, Aisha's father tried to spare her the dangers and discomfort of the journey by solemnizing her marriage to her fiance, Jubair, son of Mut`am ibn `Adi. However, Mut’am refused to honor the long-standing betrothal, as he did not wish his family to be connected to the Muslim outcasts. The emigration to Ethiopia proved temporary and Abu Bakr's family returned to Mecca within a few years. Aisha was then betrothed to Muhammad.\n\nThe age of Aisha at marriage is an extremely contentious issue. On the one hand, there are several hadiths (said to have been narrated by Aisha herself) which state she was six or seven years old when betrothed and nine when the marriage was consummated. Other traditional material (hadith, sira, etc.) suggests that Aisha may have been anywhere from twelve to nineteen years old when she married.\n\nThere are three main points of view on this controversy.\n\nTraditionalist Muslims respect the authority of the hadith, the source of much Islamic law (sharia) and therefore accept the hadith collected by Bukhari which quote Aisha as saying that she was nine years old when her marriage was consummated. However, they usually share the widespread belief that sex with pre-pubescent children is wrong. Since Muhammad could not have done anything wrong, Aisha must have already undergone puberty. \nCritics of Islam accept the hadith stating that Aisha was nine, but do not agree that she was pubescent. They argue that claims that she was are contrary to science and motivated only by a wish to save Muhammad's character. (One critic accepts that she may have been pubescent, but still regards the marriage as deplorable [1].) Critics insist that Aisha was a young girl and that Muhammad, by having sex with her, became a pedophile. This criticism seems to be recent; older works contra Islam do not mention it. \nSome liberal Muslims are willing to reject the hadith included in Bukhari, insisting that Aisha must have been exaggerating, may have been unsure of her own age, or must have been misquoted. They point to other traditions, from Islamic historians such as Ibn Ishaq and Tabari, which would put her age at marriage as between fourteen and nineteen.\n\nThese traditions are from the hadith collections of Bukhari (d. 870) and Muslim b. al-Hajjaj (d. 875). These two collections are in general regarded as the most authentic by Sunni Muslims. This tradition is also found in Abu Dawud and Tabari.\n\nNarrated 'Aisha: The prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six. We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Harith Kharzraj. 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). 5:58:234 \nNarrated 'Aisha:

how dare you\n\nno its not the truth\n\nhe did NOT marry a six year old\nAisha was NOT 6, she was 9!!\nand that just shows the differences between the social structure of now and then. Now it seems weird to us that he married a nine year old, but then it was perfectly normal. If they were to look ahead at us and at what age we usually married, they would be SHOCKED that we married at ages 18-30\n\nI congratulate you for at least being a person of the book (Muslim, christian, Jew) But if you were a REAL christian you wouldn't believe or say any of this nonsense. if that is how you feel you should keep it to yourself OR why don't you just join all those other polytheistic non believers?\n\nWHAT IS WITH ALL YOU CHRISTIANS HERE!?\nWHY DO YOU FIND SUCH WRONG IN ONE OF THE RELIGIONS OF THE BOOK.\nIF YOU BELIEVE IN GOD AND JESUS, you wouldn't be saying any of this. Believe what you want to, think what you want, just don't Say things like this\n\nNO, the Koran DOESN'T encourage stuff like that, almost every Muslim in America has at LEAST 5 friends that aren't Muslim, and they don't go cutting their throats in the middle of the night!\nYou guys, Please learn the truth!!!!\n\nwww.thisisislam.islamacademy.com\nWatch this, its good for you.

When I got married at 22

From prospective of Islam, DA Vin chi Code is not true. Because Islam does not believe that Isa ever died or crucified. He didn't have either a wife or a daughter. Islam believes that the people who think (no offense please!!!!) that Isa (peace be upon him) was crucified-they are confused from the beginning. So there is no question of possibility of him having a wife or a daughter. Islam believes that Isa is still alive and he will appear in this world again. Then he will have wife and children and will lead a life of a normal human being-in fact as a Muslim. So, Jesus (Isa) getting married and having a child is a fiction.

Everyone will be in his/her young age. It is mentioned in Hadith. And the age is 33.\n\n"There is a hadeeth which states that they will enter Paradise “aged thirty-three years” (narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2545; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Takhreej al-Mishkaat, 5634). Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said concerning this age: “There is obvious wisdom behind this, for it is the most perfect age at which one is most able to enjoy physical pleasures, and the age at which one's health and strength are most perfect.”"

Aishah is not 6 years old!\n\nFact 1.\nAll 4 Saidina Abu Bakar with his wives ( 2 ) born b4 Islam.  His wives is Fateelah bt Abd Al Aza and Ummi i Rooman. He got 2 daughters and 2 sons. \nSaidina Abu Bakar + Fateelah = Abdullah ( boy ) & Asma’ ( girl )\nSaidina Abu Bakar + Ummi = Abd al Rahman ( boy ) & Siti Aisyah ( girl – Muhammad wife )\nTabrani said Siti Aishah born before 610 Masihi, and she married with Muhammad on 623 AD. It is mean Aisyah is 14 yo.\n\nFact 2\nIn Uhud war ( 625 AD / 3 Hijrah ), Rasulullah said who is under 15 yo cannot involve in Uhud war. And Aisyah involved in Uhud and Badar war. It is mean Aisyah already be teenager.\n\nUhud = 625 AD / 3 Hijrah\nAishah = x years old > 15 years old\nMarried with Muhammd = 1 Hijrah \nAishah = x years old>13 years old. ( when she married with Muhammad )\n\nFact 3\nBefore, Saidina Abu Bakar go to Habsyah ( 615 AD ),  he went to Mut’am house and he want Mut’am take Aisyah as a wife but Mut’am don’t want because Abu Bakar is already covert to Islam ( Aisyah is Mut’am fiancee ), and Mut’am canceled their engagement with Aisyah when Aisyah is 6. Aisyah married with Muhammad on 623 AD, and it is mean ( 623AD – 615 AD = 8 years + 6 years old = 14 years old ).\n\nFact 4\nAisyah is young 5 years than Fatima. Fatima born when Rasulullah is 35 years old ( 605 AD ). When Fatima is 18 years old, Rasulullah is 53 yo ( 623 AD ). And in history, Aisyah married with Muhammad when Fatima is 18 years old. It is mean ( 18 ( the age of Fatima ) – 5 ( Aisyah is 5 years young than Fatimah) = 13 yo ). It is mean Aisyah is 13 yo\n\nFact 5\nAsma’ ( Aisyah’s sister ) died on 73 Hijrah / 695 AD ( she is 100 years old ) and Aisyah is 10 years young than Asma’ ( Aisyah is 90 years old that time ). \nIf 73 Hijrah, Asma is 100 years old, it is mean on 1 Hijrah, Asma’ is 27 years old and Aisyah is 17 years old.  1 Hijrah, Aisyah married with Muhammad. It is mean Aisyah is 17 years old.\n\nBut, the possibility is Aisyah married with Muhammad when she is 14 years old. \nOn 6 years old, Aisyah break up with Mut’am.\nThe fact that Aisyah married with Muhammad when she is 6 years old just a myth. It is because people that time just collect the surah and they forget to write the fact of Muhammad and his life.

It's rather difficult to tell since this is the only reference I can find.\n\nGenesis 26:34  And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:

There's no evidence whatsoever that she died of unnatural causes. Aisha-May Allah Be pleased at her- died 678 B.C, and most likely of natural causes. If you mean the story where Ali- May Allah dignify his face- captured her, then you're mistaken. Yes he did capture her, but refused to harm her in any means, besides she died after this incident many years later.

No man. She has been married for ages, with the man who is 20 years older than her. They are in love since she was 16 or 17. They now have a small child together

Why are you calling Muhammad a pedophile. Just because he married a matured girl somewhere between the age of 9-13??\n\nthan what would you call Jesus?\n  You say Jesus was God. OK. Well, he impregnanted his mother at the age of 12-14. Than MAry gave birth to Jesus..\nWhat would you call that? Incest, Pedophile, Taboo?? Take your pick.

I did not intend to answer this question if someone had already given a satisfying answer.‎\n\nFirst, I have to admire you for the excellent question since it is a misconception that ‎many non-Muslims carry about Islam.‎\n\nNow, you question uses the word "need" rather than "had". That would make a difference ‎in the answer.‎\n\nIf you indeed meant "need", you first need to know few facts. The Prophet Mohammad ‎‎(peace be upon him) first married at the age of 25 a woman that is 15 years older than ‎him. His first wife was married twice and had children from her ex-husbands. His ‎marriage lasted until he turned 50 when his wife died. He stayed two years before ‎marrying an 80 year old woman. So, the Prophet lived 52 years and married only one woman. The Prophet ‎died at the age of 63; by that time, he had nine wives. The Prophet had several wives for ‎several reasons; one reason was to build a solid political relation with other tribes or ‎nations (do you know that one of the Prophet's wives was a Christian and another was ‎Jewish?); another reason was to build a social bond with his followers by marrying their ‎sisters or daughters; another important reason was for his wives to convey all the ‎important lessons of building a family to a nation that reached a population of 2 billion; ‎he could not have done all of this with one wife.‎\n\nHowever, if you meant, "why did Mohammad of Islam had 9 wives ...", then the ‎referenced source below will give you the answer. The translation of the verse in English ‎states:‎\n\n‎"It is not lawful for thee to marry more women after this, nor to change them for other ‎wives, even though their beauty attract thee, except any thy right hand should possess as ‎hand-maidens: and Allah doth watch over all things."‎\n\nIt might be difficult for you to comprehend the meaning of the above verse, but to ‎understand it better, you should know that the Qur'an (the words of God) was revealed to ‎the Prophet (pbuh) by Gabriel on a span of 23 years. By the ‎time the translated verse above was revealed, the Prophet (pbuh) had nine wives. God ‎‎(Allah) advised the Prophet (pbuh) on this verse that he should not marry more women or ‎even divorce one with the intention of marrying a more beautiful woman.‎\n\nNow, you might ask, "when the verse was revealed to him, why then he did not divorce five to satisfy this verse?" That would ‎also be a good question. To answer this, you should understand that divorce is the last ‎solution in Islam to end a bad marriage; why then divorce if the marriage was a good ‎one? The Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) had a model marriage with his wives.‎\n\nLet me explain this from a different perspective with a similar case that comes to mind. I ‎heard that the Chinese Government restricts the people of China from having more than a ‎certain number of children (I do not know if this is still true). Now imagine that you are a ‎Chinese with nine obedient and loving children, then this rule was enforced for the first ‎time so that you should not have more than four children; would you kill the other five ‎just to satisfy your government regulation?‎
