Ifølge de fleste anerkendte kilder, der beskriver Muhammeds liv, begyndte Muhammed at voldtage sin barnekone Aisha systematisk, da hun var ni år gammel.

Uddrag fra artikel af en eksmuslim, der diskuterer Muhammeds pædofili: (http://www.exmuslim.com/com/evidence.htm)

"I have used Bukhari s Hadith, translated into English by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, at the Islamic University in Medina. Bukhari s Hadith is considered authentic by the majority of Sunni Islamic scholars.

It is second to the Quran in terms of importance.

The central figure to approve and sign the translation is Dr. Amin Al-Masri, Ph.D. Cambridge University. He is the Advisor and Head of the Sharia Dept., at the College of Sharia and Islamic Studies in Mecca.

From Bukhari vol. 7, #65:
"Narrated Aisha that the prophet wrote the marriage contract with her when she
was six years old and he CONSUMMATED his marriage when she was nine years old."

There has been some confusion about the definition of the word "consummate".

In Sahih Bukhari, vol. 7, #64, the root word used is "dakhala". From the Hans-Wehr Arabic-English Dictionary p273, it means "to enter, to pierce, to penetrate ( sexualy) , to consummate the marriage, cohabit, sleep with a woman".
I have also asked two native Arabic speakers to confirm the definition of the word used in Bukhari. They read Bukhari in Arabic for themselves, and did indeed say it meant that Muhammad had sexual intercourse with Aisha when she was 9."

"FROM THE HADITH OF THE SUNAN OF ABU DAWUD
Abu Dawud s Hadith is the third most respected Hadith in Islam.
From Abu Dawud, Vol. 2, #2116:
"Aisha said, "The Apostle of Allah married me when I was seven years old."
(The narrator Sulaiman said: "Or six years."). "He had intercourse with me when I was 9 years old."

Idealiseringen af Muhammeds pædofili får følger for muslimske piger i vore dage. For Muhammed opfattes af rettroende muslimer som det perfekte menneske, der er et eksempel til efterfølgelse i et og alt, også når det gælder giftermål med småpiger:

Ifølge Human Rights Watch’s World Report 2001 on Yemen blev pædofili blevet tilladt i Yemen i 1999 af religiøseårsager:

(The age of Cosent (http://www.inquisition21.com/article124.html).)

"In Yemen, in 1999, the minimum marriage age of fifteen for women, rarely enforced, was abolished; THE ONSET OF PUBERTY, INTERPRETED BY CONSERVATIVES TO BE AT THE AGE OG NINE, WAS SET AS A REQUIREMENT FOR CONSUMATION OF MARRIAGE"
There appears to be no age limit for sex with girls in Saudi Arabia as long as you are married to the girl (that she is one of your wives)."

Årets foto fra 2007 forestiller en elleveårig, afghansk pige, sammen med den fyrreårige mand, som hun er blevet tvunget til at gifte sig med. Hendes øjne lyser af frygt og had. (http://www.metroxpress.dk/dk/article/2007/12/18/08/5502-52/index.xml) den 11-årige pige Ghulam, der sidder ved siden af sin nyforlovede mand på 40 år. Under sit ophold i Afghanistan blev den amerikanske fotograf opmærksom på, hvor mange helt unge piger, der bliver gift med meget ældre mænd, selv om den officielle lavalder for at blive gift er 16 år. Derfor besluttede hun at belyse fænomenet. Og ifølge UNICEF er der i høj grad noget at belyse. Organisationens tal viser, at der verden over er mere end 51 millioner piger mellem 15 og 19 år, som er blevet tvunget til at indgå ægteskab. De yngste brude lever i den indiske provins Rajastahn. Her er 15 procent af de piger, som bliver gift, ikke fyldt 10 år.

Så det er altså ikke kun et muslimsk problem.
