1- There is controversy in regards to Ayesha RAA age at marriage and ‘consummation’. Unless you were there at the time you cannot be so certain.

2- You being adamant and stuck on the age difference merely shows you cannot think outside the box/outside what has been the norm and not unethical/illegal and immoral for centuries of centuries of mankind until recently for whatever reason.

3- You just want to live in current days and have no ability to think and understand the lives of people in the past in different environment, laws, norms, age of puberty, legal age of marriage or consummation etc. but you instead, consider the current life standard somehow should be the standard for all the mankind and should have been the standard for the mankind in the past.

May I give ostrich example here for you?

4- You want to prove the prophet SAW somehow did an immoral and unethical act. Right?

Dear brother diwana, humanity is like babies trying to grow up to be adult but prophets are far ahead of their time due to divine revelation on top of their life experiences. The standard for living by is set by God not humans and it was always exactly the same. However humans take time to learn it and along the way they try different things in their own way. So norms of humanity if they are different from divine standard then it is divine standard that is right not humanity. This is why a divine messenger cannot come down to level of humanity rather he has to try to get them to his standard that he receives from on high.

This is why job of prophets was very hard because think about it how hard it is to educate a whole nation. We hardly can cope with each others arguments yet prophets had a whole lot set against them and they had to help them change their minds to be better people.

Old prophets are told about in the quran are held to us as examples for us to admire and follow and that would not be right if prophets were not up to set divine standard.

We therefore cannot prove our prophet was right in marrying a six year old because that was standard by which that society lived. Society lived the way it lived and that is not the standard for the divine prophets. The prophets come to set standard as told by their sender.

regards and all the best.
