Go back to your studies, and at least try to understand why is it that the majority of muslims WORLDWIDE agree with tafsirs, which agree with the ahadith. You may not like it, but it is a fact that islam allows the marriage of young female to adult men. If you don't like this, that is your problem. You might as well go create another religion, because islam is not what you believe in.

Go home, study islam, and come back in a month or so. Good luck to you all.

No wonder you apologists are a minority in islam. As you showed here, your twisted knowledge of islam does not stand to scrutiny. It is funny to see that even islam's finest scholars are questioned, revealing the vagueness of the koran. And you single handily accomplish this through ignorance of the most basic understanding of generations of research in islam. How dare you?

[freedom4expression]

You DISCREDITED YOUSELF, showing your ignorance in islamic studies when claiming that tafsir authors assumed Aisha's age at the time of her marriage.

How can you even criticize the worldly accepted tafsirs, when you can't even show knowledge of how they came to be????

You are ignorant on the most basic concepts of tafsir, and are clearly not in the slightest position to criticize it, let alone spread your 'western contaminated' interpretations of the koran.

LOL! And here comes your 3rd fallacy. The famous tafsirs that support the marriage to young female ARE NOT TRANSLATIONS!! These are not only native arabic speakers, but also experts in classical arabic. THERE IS NOT TRANSLATION INVOLVED, as the ruling is done in arabic itself.

That is the problem with you apologists. You are 'contaminated' with western thinking, therefor embarrased with islamic teachings, and resort to the most twisted logic to justify that which is not justifiable. LOL!

If you study islam, you will see that after verse 33.49 was revealed, the contemporaries of mohammed asked for additional clarification because certain groups of women were not covered under 33.49 - These were specifically mentioned as being (and I quote) "the woman who does not menstruate and the woman WHO HAS NOT MENSTRUATED YET. And what is the waiting period of the pregnant woman?" So 65.4 was sent.

As you can see there is really no question that islam allows very young girls to be married.

[eriwadi2]

just because a girl has started her period doesnt mean that she is ready for sex or definitely ready to carry a child. if a child started her period at 8, there is no way her body is ready to carry a baby. she is still developing. this is ignorance. labor and delivery is very intense, there is no reason for a child that age to go through the physical and mental pain of it. also medical problems can arise when a child gets pregnant so young.

Muhammad was really SMART, he started a new religion to support his beliefs, always a good idea when your neighbours want send you to jail or worse for something they don't like, heh...

prepubescent - (especially of human beings) at the age immediately before puberty; often marked by accelerated growth

Abu-Ala Maududi states:

"Therefore, making mention of the waiting-period for girls who have not yet menstruated, clearly proves that it is not only permissible to give away the girl at this age but it is permissible for the husband to consummate marriage with her. Now, obviously no Muslim has the right to forbid a thing which the Quran has held as permissible." (Maududi, volume 5, p. 620, note 13, emphasis added)

It is clear: Muslim men can engage in sex with prepubescent children!

Islam is not a religion

[flankspeed]

So, in Canada and New Zealand, girls don't get their periods until they're 22?

Wow. Who'd have known that eh?

xD
