Exactly my point, anon. You have the luxury of being able to look upon the past from a point in time where you're not as likely to die before you hit 30, so you dont HAVE to marry super young to ensure your bloodline continues onwards. That was the world back then tho, and you either played ball or you died. Simple as.
Also Aisha's marriage was purely political so as to solidify the alliance with her deathly father, as were most marrigaes throughout history. The fact that she was just six at the time was an afterthought to everyone invovled, because that's just not something they considered in that time and place. To judge them by today's living standards is misguided at best. If anything, we should be thanking past generations for being so ass backward but persevering regardless and eventually getting to us.
