Men could inherit there brother wives etc. Islam came to stop this. And introduced the system of the Gaurdian. The Gaurdian has to have the best interests of the girl at heart and is there to protect her from anything that could harm her. If he objects to the marriage and provides no reason for it then she can still get married. The gaurdian isn't there to hamper the women but to protect her.
You misunderstand. Mohammed was idolised as a prophet in his time, of course anyone and everyone would be very keen to get him to marry their daughter. Mohammed here makes no mention of morality... by marryine a girl of 9 where modern society clearly judges this to be innapropriate at best, and abusive at worst.
