Report back when you have mastered it.
Probably you haven't read this quote from the given article:
Sayyidah Aisha said: ‘When a girl is nine years old, she is a woman (meaning, she has attained puberty).’ (Tirmidhi, Hadith 1109).
- You shouldn't compare between two ages using the same law. There's a big different of age between today and 7th century. Not even maturity can be compared.
- Have you asked those lived just a century before us. There's a lot of people said even their grand or grand grand mother married as early as 12 years old.
And thanks for reminding about the word by the way. Probably you should read something about it too.

See how the age of consent was set as low as 7 in this article. (Depends on century).
Then can I say most of the man in the few last century was pedophile.
