From the Hadith -

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 88:

Narrated 'Ursa:

The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).

Thank you. I've seen that before but forgot where I saw it. The correct numbers are: married a 6 year old and raped her when she was 9.

As I said before, marrying a 13 year old in the 7th century wouldn't have been out of line with the standards of the day.

But marrying a 6 year old... this is a prophet?
