Madam Aishah, a Study of her age at the time of her marriage with Prophet Muhammad

Conclusion:

Taking all the various pieces of evidence into consideration, the conclusion of this investigation is that the nikah of Aishah to the Prophet of Islam took place when she was around 16-17 years old, and not 6; and her marriage was solemnized when she was 19 and not 9. The Prophet died when she was 28, not 18; and she became one of the leading scholars and teachers of Islam, giving aid and advice to the subsequent Caliphs.

She lived in widowhood some 40 years, and died in 50 AH/672 CE at the age of 67.²²

Sincere and genuine Muslims who believe that she was a minor when she married, are humbly requested to have second thoughts and to derive conclusion afresh after considering all the evidences offered here.
