At ten years old, Arwa has already been married and divorced. In Yemen, where a quarter of women marry before theyre fifteen, her case has sparked a nationwide debate about child marriage. He would ask me to bring him something and if it wasnt there, he would beat me, Arwa recalls. Her husband offered a generous dowry but before long, he became violent and abusive. Encouraged by her father, she ran away. We cannot find a good balance between the husband and the girl. It is not marriage, it is only rape! says her lawyer, who successfully campaigned for a new law to make seventeen the legal minimum age of marriage. Before Arwa's divorce, there was no protection for child brides, with the countrys influential religious conservatives opposed to change: Islam determines the age of marriage to be when the girl is ready for intercourse, not a specific age. Until the President ratifies the new law, it could still be reversed, leaving many Yemenite girls to suffer the same fate as Arwa.

Prophet Mohamed did NOT marry Aisha when she was 9, he noticed her gift of memory (hence we learn half our faith from her and Fatima). They wed when she was 19 when she consented to the marriage.
Child brides has nothing to do with Islam, but with a backwards poverty ridden society that is in many parts of the world from selling their children to prostitution to marry them off for a dowry.
Education can reverse such behaviors but it takes years sadly...
I think Mohamed noticed her body before he noticed her memory you dumb shit, dont try to change the true history of your filthy religion to make it more acceptable now.
Fact is mo-ham-head had 13 wives, lot of these marriages were for political/military reasons and he did marry a 9 yr old girl and no doubt had sex with her.
In Islam, when the person reaches puberty, they are allowed to consumate marriage.Once they reach puberty they are an adult. But if she didnt reach puberty, It is sick that the guy consummated marriage with her.

Nowadays we call that a pedophile.
married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed that marriage when she was nine years old.
Sahih Bukhari 5:58:236
admit it your prophet is a pedophile
