Most people seem to be unaware that the tradition of old men taking child brides is widely practiced in Muslim lands because they are following the example of Mohammad. In Iran as of June 2002 it is legal for a 9 year old girl to marry with her parents' permission. Voices Behind the Veil p.136-137. The Taliban encouraged families to marry off their daughters as young as eight years old. (Voices Behind the Veil p.110). The Dallas Morning News Sep 28, 2003 p.1,10S had a story about the sad plight of Muslim Nigerian girls who were married very young, got pregnant and had labor before their small bodies were ready. It was actually somewhat of a gross story, basically of many girls who needed C-sections but did not get them. Many survived, but could not have any children due to their perforated uteruses. The following is documented from Islamic sources (authoritative Muslim hadiths) concerning the 53-year-old Muslim prophet's sexual desire to have a 6-year-old for a wife (there is much more): 1. Sahih al-Bukhari 810-870 A.D. 256 A.H. 1a. "Narrated Hisham's father: Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consummated that marriage when she was nine years old." Bukhari vol.5 book 58 ch.43 no.236 p.153. 1b. The same points are in Bukhari vol.5 book 58 ch.43 no.234 p.152. 1c. "Narrated 'Urwa: The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six year old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death). Bukhari vol.7 book 62 ch.60 no.88 p.65
