Where are the Morals?

We have proof that Prophet Mohammad consumed his marriage when Aisha was mature enough to bear a child and mature enough to make decisions based on her likeness or dislike. Further, she had a firm consent of her parents and other community members. That happened when she was 12 – 13.

I disagree with you. I don't think it's right to ever have sex with a 12 or 13 year old.
Unlike Muslims I'm open minded to ideas that maybe the actions of people 1400 years ago may not be the standard we should have now.
But out of curiosity where is the proof?

I agree that in today’s world education plays a vital role in any flourishing society. Early marriage may even hinder a person from getting elementary education. But that was one of the major reason why Prophet Mohammad married young Aisha. He took her for the purpose to educate her after looking her intellectual capacities. This is perfectly justifiable fact because she in reality became the teacher of some renowned scholars in Islam and played a crucial role in spreading the message of Islam.

You're still defending Muhammad when I don't really have a problem with Muhammad's actions, for the reason it was 1400 years ago and I'm sure Muhammad possibly was quite civilized for a man of his time.
The problem lies in the fact that people see it as ok to marry a girl of 9 years old as long as she wants to and the parents want to.
I'm talking about now, and the standards of living we have now. Which people complain about but are a lot better than the standards of 1400 years ago.
