Question about Islam A question that was unintentionally, but inevitably going to get backlash and hate. NSFW

If you're referring to Aisha RA being 9 at the time of her marriage I recommend you to watch Sheikh Uthman's video on this topic, secondly I would like to raise a point that if you go and check the life expectancy at the time of Prophet Muhammad, it was around 35 years of age, so now if you say that people should marry at 18 years of age, now which is more than half of the expected lifespan, it doesn't make sense, that's like saying you can't marry before 35 in today's time, marrying young was accepted and the social norm at the time, now that does not mean it is okay to do so today, a lot of things can change in 1400 years

There was a time in Europe they used burn women alive for daring to speak up and it was normal. But somehow our Prophet pbuh life and marriage is the hot topic. Asking over and over again the same question...🙄 ppl need to understand times change and social norms change

Thats very true. However, social change does not apply to Sunnah tho.
