Mohammed , trying to justify unjustifiable behaviour , writes:
"Prophet (PBUH) Ayesha when she was 6 and consummated after she menstruated, which according to most reliable sources was 9 years. It was the condition of Hazrat Abu Bakr that he wait till she menstruated."

Most pedophiles don't select their targets randomly. But neither do most wait three whole years to get what they want either. Must have been keen.

" It was the great noble character of our prophet that he waited that long "
Noble - is that what you call it?

"....since according to quran a man is allowed to marry and divorce a girl at any age(65.4)."
Well then if it says so in the little green book, go right ahead. But don't make a secret of it - you should be seen to be promoting your religion.

Hopefully you live in one of the southern states.
