Why Is There A Long Waiting Period In The Marriage Of Hazrat Aisha (rta)?
This delay might have other reasons. The prophet was looking forward to migrate then. And in madian the prophet got busy with the problems new problem. it was a traditional period. It might be the reason that he delayed her rukhsati.
Can’t it be that she was really 6 years old. That why the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w waited. Because we don’t observe a delay of years in his marriages to his 4,5th and so on wives
