Marriageable Age!

Re: Marriageable Age!

@PyariCgudia

Why hazrat Aisha (R)? Why are YOU GUYS putting Hazrat Khadija (R) down by insulting her age, and her decision to marry someone younger and her decision to marry a second time, and that too in late age, and have kids in her 40’s?

Because that’s what is being done by the Pakistani community. They may not show it, but this whole thread speaks of disrespect for her.

I came to find out recently that according to some narrations Hazrat Khadija (RA) was only 3-4 years older than the Prophet SAWS. I don’t know which of the two views the bulk of the scholars incline toward, I’ve heard from Mufti Menk that it’s the former. But even if the latter view of the lesser age gap were to be the more authentic one, it’s still met with resistance in our society.
