Why did the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, marry Aisha when she was only six years old? Good question. He did not consummate the marriage until she was mature.
And contrary to Western ideology nowadays, everyone says you need to be 18 in order to have relations with a woman. For example, if a man is 20 and he's dating, because this happens in the West, his girlfriend is 17 or 16 years old. Is this something which is illegal? The Prophet Muhammad showed us a clear example that a woman can be married once she is mature. He married her before she was mature, before she reached puberty. So he married her at a time demonstrating to us that it is okay to marry or to commit to this marriage before the woman is mature, but to actually consummate the marriage, you must wait until she is mature and has passed the age of maturity.
Another thing you need to look at, which is very, very important, living in a cold country, women and female children do not become mature until much later in life. Living in a hot climate, for example, Saudi Arabia, the women over there mature at the age of 6, 5, 4 sometimes it happens. Because of the hot climate.
So does that mean you can go and marry someone who is 4 years old? You can commit to a marriage with someone who is 4 years old if the father wants, but the child also has to give consent. The daughter has to give consent to this marriage as well. And usually, this is something that is not commonly practiced; it's rare to see someone, especially nowadays, who is 4 years old or 5 years old getting married. But at the same time, you have to look at the levels of maturity.
In Western countries, we mature at much later stages of life in the sense that a woman, for example, only gets her period at the age of 15, whereas in a hot climate, she gets her period at the age of 5. When a child is 15 years old, in Canada, for example, she's not selling things on the side of the road, doing math, exchanging business ideas and stuff like that. In Saudi Arabia, I know a little boy who's 4 years old who does business. He walks around with a scale, he weighs people, they pay him; he pays his dad a certain amount, and he keeps a certain amount for himself. His brothers do that, his cousins do it. They're all within the ages of 3 and 15.
The mentality is totally different, where you grow up, the way you were brought up; all these things play a factor. You have to also look into, you know, nobody wants to marry off their daughter when she's 5 years old and see something happen to her. At the same time, she has to give consent to that marriage. Chances are a 5-year-old daughter is not going to want to go home with a 20-year-old guy.
This is an imam in Canada.
These are the degenerate perverts want to tell you that the West is wicked and sinful.
