First off, there was no pedofilia, as they were married, and everything was public about it. Prophet Muhammad did marry a 9 year old, and he and his wife consummated the marriage AFTER she reached puberty. Puberty is the age that a Muslim -both men and women- are considered to be adults.

Also, keep in mind it was 1,400 years ago- it was culture back then to get married young, and people (including non-Muslims) at the time didn’t have a problem with it. The 9 year old was even engaged before that to another man, but the engagement was broken off because the fiancée was a non-Muslim; getting married young was culture back then.
Even the Virgin Mary had Jesus when she was around the age of 13…people back then lived shorter lives and got married at younger ages, and this isn’t so much the case anymore.

And you know what? People can use facts and turn it around to make ANYTHING sound twisted. For example, I saw a bumper sticker once reading: “Mary was a un-married, pregnant teenager” …see how they took the example of such a pious, believing woman and made her sound like a promiscuous slut? See how that is insulting and twisting the facts, even though they claim to be just stating them?

Now let’s put our assumptions aside and look at Prophet Muhammad’s wife’s point of view, shall we? She loved her husband dearly, and in fact she is the source of many of the hadith (stories of the Prophet Muhammad) that we have today, as she worked to spread the message of Islam for the rest of her life. She spoke of how wonderful of a husband he was, and how much she loved him.
