 We're arguing whether or not this marriage was ethical. And my argument was, do you accuse someone of wrongdoing when the evidence against them is debatable? Bukhari, depending on your source, said to have gone through 300 to 600,000 hadiths to get to the absolute most reliable over and over again. We read about Aisha being six when Muhammad married her and nine when the marriage was consummated. As far as consummation and cohabitation, these words are synonymous. If in fact Aisha was nine years old, the evidence is highly debatable. Is it fair to presume that the Prophet could have established a relationship with Aisha and cohabited with her and waited until she was physically and mentally and emotionally prepared to have sex before he did so?
