Quote:It's not something exclusive to the Prophet. Prophet came to set the example for all of mankind. And you will find the same practice was in effect in many parts of the world (including Europe) at this time.
If you even look back into US history the legal age for marriage in 1872 was 9 years old. This was the practice all over the world as Sister Jennifer has pointed out many years before the time frame I have mentioned. There was no laws even in parts of the world where this age was accepted and practiced as well.
