[s]Mary was 12 years old when betrothed to JosephCatholic Encyclopaedia says:“When forty years of age, Joseph married a woman called Melcha or Escha by some, Salome by others; they lived forty-nine years together and had six children, two daughters andfour sons, the youngest of whom was James (the Less, “the Lord’s brother”). A year after his wife’s death, as the priests announced through Judea that they wished to find in the tribe of Juda a respectable man to espouseMary, then twelve to fourteen years of age. Joseph, who wasat the time ninety years old,went up to Jerusalem among the candidates; a miracle manifested the choice God had made of Joseph, and two years later the Annunciation took place.”[6]One thing needs to be remembered, although they say that she was 12 years old when she was betrothed to 90-year-old Joseph, most Christians of today reject this story, because Joseph would be labelled a ‘paedophile’.‘History of Joseph the Carpenter’ also confirms that Mary was 12 years old when betrothed to Joseph. Chapter 3 and 4 states:3. Now when righteous Joseph became a widower, my mother Mary, blessed, holy, and pure, was already twelve years old. For her parents offered her in the temple when she was three years of age, and she remained in the temple of the Lord nine years.Then when the priests saw that the virgin, holy and God-fearing, was growing up, they spoke to each other, saying: Let us search out a man, righteous and pious, to whom Mary may be entrusted until the time of her marriage; lest, if she remain in the temple, it happen to her as is wont to happen to women, and lest on that account we sin, and God be angry with us.4. Therefore they immediately sent out, and assembled twelve old men of the tribe of Judah.And they wrote down the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. And the lot fell upon the pious old man, righteous Joseph. Then the priests answered, and said to my blessed mother: Go with Joseph, and be with him till the time of yourmarriage. Righteous Joseph therefore received my mother, and led her away to his own house.And Mary found James the Less in his father’s house, broken-hearted and sad on account of the loss of his mother, and she brought him up. Hence Mary was called the mother of James. Luke 24:10 Thereafter Joseph left her at home, and went away to the shop where he wrought at his trade of a carpenter.And after the holy virgin had spent two years in his house her age was exactly fourteen years, including the time at which he received her[/s]

Scholar8200:
Thanks for the compliment! I guess you either didnt see the clause acknowledging the unreliability of the traditions (depended on by your 'scholars') or you deliberately ignored it

olodo... "your scholars" means Christian scholars

Catholic Bible? you must be kidding. The only difference found in Catholic Bible is the inclusion of deuterocanonicals in the old testament. What you wrote up there has no place in the Bible. Do your research well, and let your proof be based not on subjective postulations of some individuals.
Can you tell me one moral justification or the rationale behind child/kid marriage.

let's assume your lies are true, Mary was still far far older that aisha when she was married, more than twice aisha age. In reality, aisha was not even up to 6 years of age, unless they did not calculate her age using the Muslim calender, which is over a week short every year.
