Thats the thing Shafique, those lunatics since day on this forum never wasted a chance but to pick on Islam and they expect some explanation from us, hmm right if only they read it properly - - HOWEVER ..

Is it too hard to admit that their "God" ordered to kill infants and sucklings?? - -
Let alone "God" wrestling with Yaacob for a whole night and that he needed that weekend to rest
What about Is'Haq (Isaac) marrying Refka (Rebbeka) at the age of THREE years old.

Let us see what they got to say about it ,Shafique

My my. Hasn't this thread taken quite a few turns. Seems that some posts need to be redirected to Religion, History, and the Toilet.

Geez thats a bit young. They wait until at least 6 yo in Saudi.

I blame the parents!

Someone correct me, but didn't Richard II of England marry a child - IIRC Isabel of France was only 7 or 8 when they were married. This was a few centuries after Islam - so I wouldn't be surprised if the imaginative loon posters blamed Islam for this marriage!

Edit: It seems the Romans were also at it - the custom in the Eastern Roman ('Byzantine') empire from the late 12th century:

Child brides, whether Byzantines or foreign princesses, were the norm rather than the exception, especially from the late twelfth century. Irene Ducaena, wife of Alexius I Comnenus, was twelve at her marriage, and empress before she was fifteen; the Byzantine princess Theodora, Manuel's niece, was in her thirteenth year when she married Baldwin III of Jerusalem; and Margaret-Maria of Hungary married Isaac II Angelus at the age of nine.

Their problem is they think time started to tic-toc only after the world war
