Adnan I am a religious fanatic.. and even I think people are right here.

As others have said already:

The girl must be in full agreement (not brainwashed either).. So the idea she will agree to such an old man is proposterous. More likely if she does decide to marry at such a young age it would be with someone closer to her age.

Second of all... Every muslim knows that Prophet M. SAW had a special case. And this is not applicable to all muslims. I.E. he did not take Aisha's permission. Whereas for the rest of the muslim women their permission is sought.

The theory being that the prophet was the best of men and what woman young or old wouldn't have been happy with him right????

Allahu Alim.. This is one of the things that pushes me away from Islam because even I find it hard to understand and justify. And with all the perfection of this religion.. this is one of the only things that just doesn't sit well with me.

But what really really irks me is when people issue fatwas and accept the molestation of young girls by old men. And bring it into islamic society. Their is nothing in Islam to warrant such behavior..
