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?
For a man to marry anyone:
She must have undergone puberty.
Must be mentally mature.
She must be consenting.
The pillars of marriage are three:
1. The couple must be free from any legal prevention to their being able to marry one another, like a close relationship or fosterage.
2. The woman must have the approval of her guardian.
3. There must be an offer and acceptance.
The conditions of marriage are four:
1. The presence of the couple
2. Their approval
3. The presence of the woman’s guardian
4. Two male, Muslim witnesses
And other rules such as Mahr (bridal gift)
