You do realize that was the practice in the region and other places? Want to look up ages of marriage in Israel before the Diaspora? If they weren't married by 12 or 13, they were spinsters. Or Medieval Europe? Pretty similar. Lots of royals got married off before age 10.

To pretend that The Prophet was somehow different is disingenuous. The marriage to Aisha was for dynastic reasons. For those, age is never a factor in pretty much every culture. I say "pretty much" because I can't think of one, but they might have existed.
