They thus specifically emphasized it, implying that as Muhammad's only virgin wife, Aisha was divinely intended for him, and therefore the most credible regarding the debate over the succession to Muhammad.[3]"
Dude couldn't find one girl of say 16-17 (still young and nubile) that was a virgin, not one girl in his lands that wasn't a little kid to fit the ****ing bill? Really?
I also found this quite "funny", a well:
"Most of the sources indicate that she was nine years old at the time, with the single exception of al-Tabari, who records that she was ten.[3] The marriage was delayed until after the Hijra, or migration to Medina, in 622; Aisha and her older sister Asma bint Abi Bakr only moved to Medina after Muhammad had already migrated there. After this, the wedding was celebrated very simply. The sources do not offer much more information about Aisha's childhood years, but mention that after the wedding, she continued to play with her toys, and that Muhammad entered into the spirit of these games.[8] "
Now we have a typical pedo modus operandi.
I learned of Aisha from a Muslim who was from Saudi Arabia, not the West.
