The age of consent is a social construct. There are many European Nations who have an age of 12, Japan didn't even have an age of consent till 2003
and then it was only 13. I can go on and on and son. Your arguement is flawed, because you're placing your morals on someone who lived over 1000
years ago.
Furthermore, it is only one person who says they consummated the marriage when she was 9 years old. Furthermore, only one person translated that book
and not every aspect of the book is accepted. Many groups of Muslims see the book as nothing more than this persons own opinion on issues and trying
to validate his wrongs by claiming Mohammed did it also.
Scriptural Evidence] Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64: Sahih Bukhari [the most venerated and authentic Islamic source]
The following is from an external source:
----From Khomeini's book, "Tahrirolvasyleh", fourth volume, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990 :
A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However he should not penetrate, sodomising the child is OK. If the man penetrates and
damages the child then he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however does not count as one of his four permanent
wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girls sister.
It is better for a girl to marry in such a time when she would begin menstruation at her husband's house rather than her father's home. Any father
marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven.
How it all began ( a long time ago in the isolated deserts of Arabia) :
Already, when Aisha (the daughter of Abu Bakr, Mohammad's closest friend and unquestioning ally) was about 4-5 years old Muhammad started dreaming of
a union with her [Ref: SAHIH BUKHARI, 5:235] and he wasted no time in realizing his dreams, inspite of the fact that object of his dreams was a mere
child.Perhaps you want to assume that it is "normal" for a 50+ year old man to dream of marrying a 4-5 old child, and then ACTUALLY ask for her hand
at 6?
Is it normal for an oversexed old man (Muhammad had over 9 wives and concubines) to dream of a union with a 4-5 year old girl?

If you read what I said about Mohammed I wasn't just talking about miracles, if one is a real Prophet one does not need to plagiarize etc etc.
