He would have made mention of morality if he had anything to do with deity. Are you saying he didn't know Allah's will on this subject?
Also... the UK age of consent is 16. France is 15. Maybe you were thinking of that.
The point still stands... There's a big difference between 9 and 14. The additional laws for the 14 year olds shows the societies discomfort with it. A supposed consort with perfect morality should never stay silent on such a questionable tradition.
