Re: Prophet Mohammed nine year old wife
Let me tell something also … My grandmother was 9 when she was first married and probably 13 on her first child … she lived a long life and eventually had married another time when her first husband died, she was self-sufficient at the age of 20 or so with 3 children and one infant who had died in infancy. She got married in her late twenties to my grandfather who was several years younger than her and had 4 more children and she ruled the house with an iron fist.
Trust me we talk with such lack of understanding basing the correct way to live as per our own experiences … I was approaching 13 years old when my grandmother told me about how she had become a mother at my age and I was surprised … but she was amazingly calm and proud about it.
With all due respect, psyah, you need to make up your mind on this topic. Is marrying a young girl to an old guy a good thing or a bad thing? Earlier you were saying that we do not need to follow this example from prophet … implying that it is a bad thing.
