This was the most interesting pic of Muhammad ever printed which exposed one of the many parts of his twisted life that is forbidden to discuss. For those unaware and it's written in the original Koran (Quran) he had a wife named Aisha. She was only 9 years old when he blessed her. |
Here is a brief history of how things were back then:-
Muhammad's life is traditionally defined into two epochs: pre-hijra (emigration) in Mecca, a city in northern Arabia, from the year 570 to 622, and post-hijra in Medina, from 622 until his death in 632. All but two of his marriages were contracted after the migration to Medina.
He married 11 or 13 women depending upon the differing accounts of who his wives were. At the age of 25, Muhammad married Khadijah which lasted for 25 years.[136] This marriage is described as "long" and "happy," and he relied upon Khadija in many ways.[137][138] Muhammad did not enter into marriage with another woman during his marriage with Khadija. After her death, friends of Muhammad advised him to marry again, but he was reluctant to do so.[138][137] It was suggested to Muhammad by Khawla bint Hakim, that he should marry Sawda bint Zama, a Muslim widow, or Aisha. Muhammad is said to have asked her to arrange for him to marry both. Later, Muhammad married additional wives, most of them widows, to make for a total of eleven, of whom nine or ten survived him.
In Arabian culture, marriage was generally contracted in accordance with the larger needs of the tribe and was based on the need to form alliances within the tribe and with other tribes. Virginity at the time of marriage was emphasized as a tribal honor.[139] Scholars such as Watt and Esposito hold that some of the marriages were based on the Arabian custom and aimed at strengthening political ties, while those marriages with widows were aimed at providing a livelihood to them.[108][140

The reason why he did this was to set examples for other people and his followers that you can marry someone who is a widow and the people who were basically all concerned about women being virgin when she gets married....Not something he did for fun.
