I am a Christian. I don't object to Muhammad having had more than one wife or any Muslim, but I could make an argument for why Muhammad was conveniently able to have way more than four wives which was more than his revelation allowed. I don't understand the double standard. Shouldn't he be the model for all Muslims? Another thing that puzzles me is the age of his youngest wife and having intercourse with her as a child still playing with her dolls, if I am understanding the hadiths correctly.

Because Muhammad is a prophet and we are not !


who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones !
the prophet Solomon PBUH had 700 wives & 300 concubines !


1Kings 11 : 3

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.

Normal Menstrual Cycle - Menarche and the Teenage Menstrual Cycle:
Menarche (say "MEN-ar-kee") is a girl's first menstrual cycle. A first period usually happens after several years of pubic hair growth, breast development, and rapid growth known as a "growth spurt." Menarche most commonly happens sometime between ages 11 and 14.6 It normally happens as early as age 9 or up to age 15. If you are a teenage girl, see your doctor if you have not started having periods by age 15

In 1997, Herman-Giddens et al1 reported evidence that young girls in the United States, especially black girls, are developing pubertal characteristics earlier than currently used norms. Trained pediatrician examiners who were part of the Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS) network staged breast and pubic hair development in >17 000 girls between the ages of 3 and 12 years. Results showed that the mean age of onset of breast development, which had been close to 11 years in earlier studies,2-4 is now approximately 10 years in white and just under 9 years in black girls
