According to my knowledge `A’ishah was nine when her marriage to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was consummated. Even though there is dispute about her exact age, let’s assume she was nine. Looking at this marriage with today’s societal perception, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would be stigmatized as child molester, pedophile, you name it! It may have made sense back in the time to do so, even though I wonder why he did marry her regardless of her very young age. No child in that age can comprehend the emotional and mental ramifications of a marriage. My other point is, the collected Hadiths are based around the Prophet’s actions and sayings (peace and blessings be upon him), and, as he was a human, he would have understood and judged a lot of the things from the cultural milieu that prevailed at the time. Were the Hadith largely influenced by the people’s way of life at the time? Is it true that a lot of things from the Hadith bear no relevance to our current life in this society? Thanks for your answers in advance. Jazakumllahu Khayran.

If they bear no relevance why not do away with them?
But if you away with them how will you know how to do the prayer and what verse to recite?
