[This thread is about the marriage of Aisha]

First of all, aisha herself states she reached puberty. Aisha did not get married while she was prepubescent as people claim it to be.

This was happening1400 year ago. Average life expectancy was in the 30 for male and it wasn't very different for women

she was also already engaged to another person which shows it was the norm in society. (2/15)

Funny enough none of his critics said anything about this, why? Because it was the norm in society, so is everyone a pedo now? For allowing him and not criticizing the marriage? She also went through puberty, so she certainly wasn't a "child". (3/15)

Not only that but she was one or the biggest citers for ahadith. She was called the mother of believers.

Aisha's marriage was consummated after puberty, as this is stated clearly in the hadiths, and she's more adult-like than most adults nowadays. (4/15)

If I did not mention her age and told you her contributions,
people will, not in the slightest, believe she was below 18 years old.

For example, today we expect our children to go through several years of primary and secondary education, (5/15)

and at least four years of university to provide them with economic and social opportunities. And this is a perfectly rational expectation, given an average global life expectancy of over 70 years[11] along with the increasing complexities of the global world. However, (6/15)

no such conditions existed 1400 years ago. While people in the past sometimes did reach older ages, this was not the norm. Case in point, (7/15)

the average life expectancy for a working-class Roman citizen in late antiquity was roughly around 35 to 40 years—if they lived past infancy.[12] Skeletal remains reveal that prior to death, most laborers suffered from chronic arthritis, fractures, displacements, (8/15)

and even bone cancer. This was due to their very poor diets—primarily stale bread, rotted grains, and little protein—and harsh working conditions.[13] And if they didn’t die from their work, they still had to contend with war, disease, and famine. (9/15)

studies which purport that the average life expectancy of ancient people’s is similar to ours today often neglect to mention archeological evidence of a high proportion of Roman citizens’ gravestones and burial sites showing many died from disease, famine, war, labor, (12/15)

and natural disasters—circumstances which the contemporary world is far more prepared to handle. Likewise, to point to written records of famous historical figures living well into their 70s and beyond does nothing to support this point. (13/15)

It’s certainly the case that some people lived just as long as most people do today, but they were the exception and not representative of the broader population. Therefore, to suggest that ancient people had similar life expectancies to our own is simply wrong. (14/15)
