What kind of nonsense is this?!
If a man marries a CHILD and has s*x with her, how is that any less p3d0philia than if he doesn't marry her but "objectifies" her? Why asume wives are not "objectified"?
Marrying children is disgusting, period. What does "objectification" have to do with it - abuse is abuse.
And no, the Bible says nothing about Mary's age, nor that her and Joseph never had s*x. That's catholic fan fiction.
Apologies since it's not directly about the thread topic.
Reality is if we go back only a 100 years we see "child marriage" was not only extremely common. It was literally the norm.
Globally.
Even in the "
Christian" west.
The Bible itself is full of child marriage and if/when I get time I’m happy to dive into it. For example, Rebecca who was only 3 years old with Issac comes to mind. Also Mary, the mother of Jesus, was 12 while Joseph was in his 80's.
Call it fan fiction if you want. Many people put their fingers into their ears when something distasteful arrives.
There is a very big difference between fornication and marriage. In one scenario, she is considered a WIFE. In this case with Aisha, she stayed with the prophet until he died, it wasn't a 1 night stand.
Notice how no one mentions Kadeejah who was also the Prophet's (saw) wife, and she was 15 years older than him.
I haven't read a post by Tempo in well over a year because he's a vile person. So I have no desire to bump his thread. It is nothing more than troll bait.
But I assumed you to be better than the rest. Not saying that you're not, but know this is one of the proverbial dead horses on VC. It has been debated to death. While the reality is, you can't go back 3 or 4 generations without finding it in your own family tree. I can guarantee at some point, you yourself are a product of child marriage and that goes for everyone here.
Mentioning the age of Aisha is nothing more than a way to attack the prophet of Islam. Even though the practice was common amongst your own grandparents, let alone 1400 years ago.
Notice how millions have hated Islam the past millennia and Aisha's age was never brought up. Why do you think that is?
Because only in the liberal modern age has it become an issue. They say people are not an adult till 18. I say I know people who are 30 whom I don't consider to be adults.
There is a reason God gave women the ability to start a family at a young age. The concept of 18+ isn't even 100 years old. Truth be told it drives fornication because it demands celibacy for 6, 7 years with overwhelming hormones.
Honest question. When you show constant filth (and I do mean constant) from tv shows at prime time to advertisements everywhere. Then you push off marriage as late as possible... what do you think the results are? Especially today, where 7 and 8-year-olds can easily access porn. But have to wait until they are 18?
The answer is obvious. 50% of American kids today not knowing who their own dad is for starters. 65 million abortions in just the last 50 years is another result. This is literally 20% of our nation today.
There is nothing wrong with early marriage, especially when we consider the opposite of it.
Society today is all about destroying the family unit. I would think you, of all people, are aware of this.
Take the last word, I will not reply because I have zero desire to keep this thread on top.
