Islamically you become an Adult when you hit puberty and are mentally old enough.
Aisha(RA) had her own house at the age of 9 so she was mentally old enough.
And she had undergone puberty.
A person in the 7th century being classified as an adult is a different age than being classified by most 21st century governments where it ranges from 16-18
So in Islam, if a man wanted to have his way with a 9 year old child, all he would have to do is make sure that she has started puberty and buy her a house of some sort and there you go, she's suddenly an adult?
Really?
