From a historian who follows me!! His apologia is misleading as fuck. 1) No, having sex with a 9 year old was NOT the norm in Western culture at the time. Political marriage, sure. But having sex with a prepubescent girl was considered repugnant. Nor was having sex with a 9 year old girl the norm in South Asia, East Asia, or Subsaharan Africa at the time. Hell, even hunter-gatherer cannibals in the Amazon rainforest waited till girls had hit puberty around 12 or 13 before consummating. 2) The idea that 9 year olds "scientifically" can hit puberty is a baseless assertion frequently made by modern Islamic apologists. Maybe if they have a hormone disorder. But, notice prior to the modern era Muslims who married children had sex with them whether they had hit puberty or not. They didn't care. Why? Because they were following the example of the Prophet. There was NO WORD of Aisha hitting puberty at 9 years old in the holy texts. This whole argument is a modern cope.
