In 2021, in the US its "technically possible" to marry a 12y old girl, therefore it was ok, 1300y ago, on the Arab Peninsula, for some guy to actually marry a 9y old girl.
Did he really just argue that?
Yes, because the legal age of marriage depends on the social context. If, somewhere in the US, it's socially acceptable to marry a 12 years old girl, it shouldn't be surprising that, in other social contexts, it was acceptable to marry a 9y old.

First, because it's not child abuse. Second, because many atheists are bastards who cherrypick their targets. They know that the social context matters when it comes to assessments about the morality of some action, and yet ignore that when it comes to the actions of a religious figure.
