hahahahah this is typical to what most people who dont know much about it! !

tradionally, back in the days people people offered their daughters to others at an early age!!! it doesnt mean they engaged in intercourse straight after that!!! back in the days most of our great great grandparents got married at a very tender age!! marriages were arrnaged as soon as the child was born in some occassions!!

it is true the prophet married her when she was 6, however, he didnt marry her cause she turned him on, it was a move to unite the tribes which was common back in the days!! the prophet PBUH didnt not engage in any sexual activity with her till she was 14 or 16!! a teen which was widely accepted in all cutlures back in the days!!!

the main move as i stated was to unite all tribes and prevent ongoing war between people and to stop the kiling!!

then again its all about education and the enviroment you lived in! its sad to see that most peopel dedicated to educating others about islam didnt implement the knowledge properly or patiently!

cleopatra was about to marry her brother!! did anyone take her seriously or consider all her decendants cursed? come on man!!! anyways!!! hope this cleared it out a bit!! if you wanna ask me more!!! feel free to ask!! if i dont have the answer i will reserch and get back to you!!
