He married her after he moved to Medina and turned to robbery, rape, kidnapping, terrorism. Aisha was the daughter of his chief military commander, Abu Bakr. I wonder if he married her at such a young age to cement the relationship with the guy best equipped to knock him off and take over the cult. Which I think actually happened. A Jewish female slave was blamed for his death by poisoning, but Aisha and her father benefited since Abu Bakr took over as caliph immediately after Mohammed's death. While his favorite cousin and son-in-law, Ali, was in mourning for Mohammed (washing his body for burial actually), Bakr was hurridly "elected" the next caliph by a small group of followers.
