• 00:00:00 In this section of the transcript, a Muslim is asked about the age of Aisha at the time of her marriage to the Prophet Muhammad, which is often used by Christians as a criticism against Islam. The Muslim responds by stating that consent was given by Aisha's father, there is nothing against the Quran in the incident, and Aisha never spoke ill of the Prophet. He goes on to note that there is no age of marriage given in the Christian Bible and mentions that rabbis openly admit that 3-year-old Rebecca married Isaac. To counter the argument that this practice is outdated and wrong, he cites examples of ages of marriage consent in the past and in other cultures, noting that presentism, or applying current values to the past, is a fallacy.
