Age of Hazrat Ayesha at the time of marriage.

:salam: Br. Mirch

We cannot take out events from our history simply because they are not in todays norm. Its our responsibility to defend what is true, and that being that todays norms cannot be the yardstick ofr judging the norms from centuries ago. Rather than deny something we should defend it by explaining why it wasn’t viewed as something abnormal centuries ago. We cannot expect that people from centuries ago had the same culture and habits as people from the 21st century do.

Your line of defense here is similar to what some of my non-muslim friends suggest to me everyone now and then regarding the 4 wives things. Since it is not todays norm to have more than one wife in most muslims countries why can’t we remove the verse related to it from the Quran. Similarly if the Prophet SAW was married to Aisha RA at a young age compared to todays norms, we can’t just purge that event but its just not applicable in todays societies.
