Didnt mohammed consumate the marriage when aisha was 9? Original tweet isnt completely wrong
edit:so, it seems this comment section became a warzone lol. there are tens of answers, and as i dont have the energy and time to answer every single one individually, i'll answer the a few (that's written the most) here
"it wasnt 9"
my main source was al-bukhari's hadith, which quotes "the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old." but still, maybe there's a more trustworthy counter-source. i didnt click on any one of the links yet, and if this comment turns out being utterly false, i'll delete it.
"such things were more normal back then"
i know, that's why i said "not completely false" while it'd be wrong to judge something in 7th century with today's morals, we also dont need to completely ignore it
"bible has similar things aswell"
i never claimed it didnt
"you're being disrespectful to islam"
i tried to be as respectful as possible, like i didnt insult islam or anything. i just stated something, but still, if i accidentally sounded disrespectful, so sorry.
this is all i have to say, i may add more things in the future as there is a whole world war going on down there.
and lastly, while rule 1 states it clearly, still writing it here just in case: dont be a dick to each other. really, there's no need
It’s crazy how religious texts are the backbone to morality in most societies and arguably the most important works ever written, but they are also so fucked up

Hello fellow redditor, seems that you have been scrolling past a bunch of controversial arguments. How about you take a break near the fire.
