“Is it in any of their religious texts? Or is that just traditional practice?”
Why yes it is. Their prophet did this very thing.
Their quran also tells them when its ok to have relations with camels and other farm animals.

Thing is this — Muhammad marrying a child was not in the Quran ( as far as I can remember ). It is in their HADITHS.
I wonder how well accepted the HADITHS are by the Muslim populace in the world...
The Quran is accepted as sacred by ALL Muslims, not so all the Hadiths.
Some Hadiths are better accepted compared to others, I think.
I wonder how widespread the acceptance of the Hadiths mentioning Muhammad’s marriage to a child are by the general Muslim populace...
It is in the Quran. I have read it. The entire book is a just a series of contradictions.
In one section, it claims Jesus was a “minor prophet,” but later on, it tells of him speaking to Mother Mary shortly after his birth. I think the desert sun got to Mohammed, the child molester.
And everyone who reads Scriptures knows that Satan is the author of confusion. If it isn’t logical, it isn’t sacred.
