If it considers a 50 year old man having sex with a NINE YEAR OLD as a beautiful thing that should be honored and remembered - than it's worthy of condemnation .... cultural or not!
Well, the Quran is actually silent on this. Nowhere does it honor or say that it's a good thing for a 50 year old to marry a 9-year-old. This was a part of cultural custom, I believe.
