    Your own source says this:

    So, the Prophet’s marriage to Ayesha was nothing out of the ordinary for the time in which this marriage took place. Insisting on 21st century (Western) ideas on morality and marriage, which evolved in their own right, for a very different time and place is an ahistorical approach.

        I used a deliberately “generous” source that still admits that the event happened. I could have used a much more incendiary one, but I didn’t.

        I didn't deny it, I just pointed out that even in that case it's still ahistorical to apply our modern standards to it, which even your source admits.

          So to summarize you're fine with (CW: sexual violence

          spoiler

          a 50+ year old violating a 9 year old child bride

          and are passionately defending that happening because it was accepted at its time. Fuck your "modern standards" sophistry. Even the excuses and apologia for that event go back centuries and you're continuing that apologia. What's wrong with you?
