It is no where in the Quran. There are 2 opinions among Muslims regarding the age of Aysha when she married Prophet Mohammed. I don't know why this issue is hotly debated, when no one during that period has problem with it, even the critics of Muslims. She used to be prophet's favorite wife. She was well versed in Quran and has reported lot of Eadith's regarding Prophet.
actually it was a 6 years old girl and he consummated the marriage when she was 9. and he was actually closer to 50. but I'm only reading that from history books, so don't believe just solely because i say so.
here is a website dedicated to finding out the truths about Mohammad, Islam, the Koran. what you do with it is up to you. you don't have to believe if you do not want, but think about it first.
well I'm Muslim, and no he was not an adult er, during that time his Friend Abu bark gave his daughter in marriage to him but she got married to him at the age of 15, i think she was 9 wen they got engaged, but i still want to share a point. depends on the man if a man solely See's a woman as a sexual object then yes, but in Islam man and women at the age of 12 is considered and mature person, and are told to be modest, in UK if u are 16u are considered an "adult" but if u can see u have girls being raped,teenage pregnancies,AID etc...
i would advvie to look at this website www.islamchannel.tv
the age of 20s and 30s are the most time men have high s.ex drive.
if Muhammad was all about women, then let me tell you that he remains virgin till age 25 before he married his first wife (who was much older than him). he stayed with his old wife for 15 years to until she dies. during that time prostitution's were all over Arabia, alcohol was also all over Arabia. if he really a s.ex lover as people claim, he would done all these crazy things in his young time and no one would even stop him. everything Muhammad done was for the sake of Islam.
Aisha (the name of the girl that Muhammad married) used to be engaged to someone else before Muhammad which indicate a physical ready for marriage. This girl was very important for Islam. she was important to take the Islamic message from Muhammad and teach it to the new generation and especially women. After Muhammad death she recorded Muhammad teaching, she came up with the 25% of the Muhammad teaching. Scholars, Scientists, old people and especially women gathered around this woman to learn from her knowledge and true understanding of Islam. can't imagine Islam without her.
and the Quran did not mention anything about her Age. but i believe Aisha said it once.
i know you don't read the holy Quran,BC if you did you would not ask a question like this
read the holy Quran,and I'm not telling you to change your religion I'm telling you this to increase you education of other religions
even though your not Muslim try and respect other peoples feelings and this will make the world a better place
If you want to learn about who was Mohammad see the link below. The answer to your question is of course not. This wife was engaged to another none Muslim before the prophet pub. Also he married Safeya who was 17 and she had two husbandsD'before him, I mean it was usual to marry at young age.
2/her age is not fully agreed of. Some say she was 15, 14, 9 and so on.
3/ Muhammad PBUH stayed without marriage until he was 25. He was in society that adultery is accepted. Marrying more then one women was normal. Men at that time can marry hundreds of women with no problem. But he did not marry until the age of 25. If he really was a big lover of sex so why do you think he married when he was 25. Not only he married at 25 but he married an old woman at the age of 45. Not only she was old but also she was married before him by 4 men. Not only she was married before but she had kids from them. What else he stayed with here until her death. He did not marry any other women at her time (while he could do so). He stayed with her until he was about 45 (I can not remember exactly). After her death he stayed a whole year without marriage.
And then he proposed to Aisha?
1/Aisha was before engaged to another man; which means she was a women and completely ready for marriage.
2/It does not make any sense that he married here for fun. (As I said before).
3/The reasons:
-Aisha was a young clever girl. She was known by her formidable memory.
She acquired from him knowledge and insight such as no woman has ever acquired.
The companions of the prophet told us every single word Muhammad said. Every single thing he did. All of his life was conveyed to us by them. However, they could not tell us how he acted in his house, how he sleeps, he eats, he treats his wives?Which is very important. How can Muslim men know how to treat their wives?
By Aisha, yes because she was young, fresh, curious, and clever, she easily remembered what he said and did. Most of what she told us about him was in the form of a questions( like why did you do that and so on).
How a husband should be like with his wife is what Aisha was there for.
Also, we Muslim women need a woman to teach us about Islam and that was Aisha. She was not only a teacher for women but also for men.
Because she was young she lived long after him which mad here able to see the new generation and convey Islam to them.
There story was a great story which is a model for all Muslim people:
She loved him greatly and often would seek reassurance from him that he loved her. Once she asked him: "How is your love for me?"
"Like the rope's knot," he replied meaning that it was strong and secure. And time after time thereafter, she would ask him: "How is the knot?" and he would reply: "in the same condition."
When his death time was near he laid there on a couch with his head resting on her breast. It was she who took a tooth stick from her brother, chewed upon it to soften it and gave it to the Prophet (pub). Despite his weakness, he rubbed his teeth with it vigorously.
It was Aishah who has preserved for us these dying moments of the most honored of God's creation. Gradually his head grew heavier upon her breast, and he died.
In the floor of Aishah's room near the couch where he was lying, a grave was dug in which was buried the Seal of the Prophets amid much bewilderment and great sorrow.
Aishah lived on almost fifty years after the passing away of the Prophet. She had been his wife for a decade. Much of this time was spent in learning and acquiring knowledge of the two most important sources of God's guidance, the Quran and the Sunnah of His Prophet (pub). Aishah was one of three wives (the other two being Hafsah and Umm Salamah) who memorized the Revelation.
Like Hafsah, she had her own script of the Quran written after the Prophet (pbuh) had died. So far as the Ahadith or sayings of the Prophet (pbuh) is concerned, Aishah is one of four persons (the others being Abu Hurayrah, Abdullah ibn Umar, and Anas ibn Malik) who transmitted more than two thousand sayings. Many of these pertain to some of the most intimate aspects of personal behavior which only someone in Aishah's position could have learnt. What is most important is that her knowledge of hadith was passed on in written form by at least three persons including her nephew Urwah who became one of the greatest scholars among the generation after the Companions.
Many of the learned companions of the Prophet and their followers benefited from Aishah's knowledge. Abu Musa al-Ashari once said: "If we companions of the Messenger of God had any difficulty on a matter, we asked Aishah about it."

I have more to say but I think it is too long to read.
No he wasn't an adulterer!
1. He just married some of them in order to support them. those wife's were widows and their husbands died and he just wanted to help them.
2. The girl that was 7 years old was engaged to him & later on he married her. This was because it gave great honor to the girl's father who was a VERY VERY CLOSE Friend of the prophet.
3. He also married a Jewish woman to show that a man can marry a woman of another religion.
He married these women to show people that you can marry a young or old woman, it doesn't matter
He wasn't adult er ,
something to make very clear , Prophet Mohamed , married one women " Khadiga" for 25 years (when he was 25- 40 ) without any other wife, and this means he was a very normal person who respected one wife and gave her all his love.
When he became a prophet and that didn't happen before he became 40, his wife "Khadiga" Died and he had to have a new wife , it's a fact the he married 9 by time , NOT Because he wasn't satisfied with only one but because there was a purpose of marring every one of them ,
Try to search for a book for his wives you would understand all their stories,
And this link could help : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad%27s_marriages
And for Aisha , he engaged her when she was 7 and married her when she was 11 or 12 , and the normal average of marriage at those time for girls was 12 or 13 so it's wasn't something strange ,
And this wife specially was his favorite , and she is considered a VERY important teller for all his talks (Hadith) and stories in life.
no and this is from a catholic. all these so called Christians should read the bible. Abraham married his sister and when she couldn't have a child she gave him permission to marry a younger slave girl and then treated her and the child like garbage. in return god let her have a baby for her selfless??????? act. i know this a question about Muslims but when are people going to start questioning other faiths that have had a violent past. also Mohammad stayed with his first wife i think her name was Sara and didn't marry again until she died. then spent alto of time comparing his later wives to Sara. please read the biography of mo hammed by Karen armstrong.it was recommended by a muslim friend of mine and is a great and easy read for non muslims.
Was Mohammad (islam prophet) an adulterer!?
