Re: Prophet Muhammed (Pbuh) and His wife Hazrat Aisha
About Prophet (pbuh) marriage to Hazrat Zainab (ra)
It may be clear from above posts that the real motives were to :
**1. Clear ambiguity that foster relationships are not equal to Real realations, so to leave no doubts on people’s minds.
-
Clear the ambiguity(if any), that Cousin marraiges are allowed in Islam.
-
Prophet(pbuh) had no real son who lived beyond the age of infancy. **
for more details, read the explaination(tafseer) of quranic verses.

Re: Marriage with Hazrat Aysha (ra) at young age
It is common amoung young muslims, to digest this reality. You may have read quite detailed explainantions but they don’t sound logical/convincing ?
First of all, the number is very irreletive. 6,9,11,13 take anyone it does not matter much.
The fact, Hazrat Aysha came to the house of prophet(pbuh) after she reached the age of puberty (thats for sure ) now equate with any number, 9, 10 ,11 ,12 its upto you.
Now the question,
why her parents sent her to the house of prophet at such a young age, just after reaching puberty ?
OR
Why her parents Married her off to Prophet (pbuh) at such a tender age ?
The answer is very simple, there were no schools/colleges at that time so they sent her to the best institute for learning (prophet himself) so that she may get education and teach other muslim men and women all her life 
Oops ^ that again is not convincing 
my bad.
Alternate answer:
All boys and girls were considered for marraige once they reached puberty …
normal age for marraige 12,13 for girl and for boy 16,17.
Why were they used to marry them so early ?
Because of Low life expectancy !
There were :
- Lots of conflicts, wars (killing men)
- lots of disease, famine (killin people)
- lots of miscarraiges (killing women)
As in this age, we do not see so many avoidable deaths. So our pattern of life and life expectany has changed. There is no famine every 4,5 years, no wars where you have to take part and 50 % chance of coming alive, health care is improved beyond execptations. So now people, wait for marraige a little longer, there is pretty good chance that bride and groom will be alive next year In those year they never had this luxury
Oh I remember, My grandmother had her first baby at the age around 15 before that she had a miscarriage and before that she got married, I dont know her exact age at the time of marriage, But i think it was after she reached puberty 
She may have died during miscarriage, but thank God she lived.
