Mohammad is a pedophil হজরত মুহাম্মদ (স:) একজন শিশুকামি ছিলেন

 From the 20th century onwards, a common point of contention has been Muhammad's marriage to Aisha, who was said in traditional Islamic sources^[106] to have been six when betrothed to Muhammad,^[26][27][28] and nine when she went to live with Muhammad^[26][27][28] and the marriage was consummated,^[26][28] although according to some scholars it is assumed that the marriage was consummated upon her reaching puberty.^{[28][107][108][109][110][111]}

Critics such as Baptist pastor Jerry Vines and the Dutch Party for Freedom leader Geert Wilders have cited the age of Aisha to denounce Muhammad for having had sex with a nine-year-old, referring to Muhammad as a pedophile.^{[59][112][113]} An early 20th-century adherent of the Arya Samaj Hindu reform movement noted in Rangila Rasul that Aisha was young enough to be Muhammad's granddaughter.^[114]

It is described in Bukhari that Aisha, while living with Muhammad, used to play with dolls along with her girlfriends.^{[115][116][117]} Journalist Katherine Zoepf finds this description emphasising Aisha's childishness despite being married to a man in his fifties can make for "upsetting reading".^[118]

Jeremy Stangroom and Ophelia Benson argue that Aisha "was much too young to have offered anything like her informed consent, even if it had been sought". Writing that Muhammad's life is considered exemplary for Muslims and one to which all Muslim men should aspire, they quote Kecia Ali: "accepting the rightness of his act raises the question: on what basis can one reject the marriage of young girls today?" They also compare the practice of child marriage to that of colonial slavery, arguing that both practices were legal at the time but are now seen as inherently immoral.^[119]

American historian of Islam Denise Spellberg states that "these specific references to the bride's age reinforce Aisha's pre-menarcheal status and, implicitly, her virginity."^[28]

Colin Turner, a UK professor of Islamic studies,^[120] states that marriages between an older man and a young girl, consummated once the wife reached what was considered at the time to be adult age, were customary among the Bedouins, and hence Muhammad's marriage would not have been considered improper by his contemporaries.^[121] William Montgomery Watt in his book Muhammad: Prophet and Statesman addresses Muhammad's alleged moral failings. Watt argues on a basis of moral relativism that Muhammad should be judged by the standards of his own time and country rather than "by those of the most enlightened opinion in the West today."^[122] Karen Armstrong, the British author on comparative religion, has affirmed that "There was no impropriety in Muhammad's marriage to Aisha. Marriages conducted in absentia to seal an alliance were often contracted at this time between adults and minors who were even younger than Aisha. This practice continued in Europe well into the early modern period."^[123]

Asma Barlas, a Pakistani-American academic, states that Muslims who calculate Aisha's age based on the more detailed information available about her sister Asma estimate that she was over 13 and perhaps between 17-19 at the time of her marriage.^[124]
