      Presentism is the fallacy you are looking for.

      Humans have even changed their bodies since the middle ages. Menstrual periods are later. Maturity goes slower. People don’t die in 30 years.

      Children having their parents die when they are 10 and get married at 20. Or children getting married at 10 and having their parents die at 20. All great choices which we don’t have to make and can moral high ground about.

      I could ask why you think dating an 18 year old is fine but a 17 year old is not. Because modern research suggests the brain only finishes development at 25. But of course our sense of “morals” is solely based on arbitrary laws in < present time > in < present location >.

        Ah, the Great Cascade of excusing pedophilia

        It didn’t happen

        Her age was ‘unclear’

        Her 9-year-old body was ‘ready for it’ <-- You are here

        He had to plow her, as her parents could die any day <-- Moving here

        Why would there be a problem with a 50-year old ‘dating’ a 9-year old <-- Nice to see that thrown in

        She loved him

        She was begging for it

        Furthermore, your excuses just confirm Sunzu’s allegation that ‘modern’ Muslims have not ‘moved on’ from these practices - they use them to excuse legalizing and enabling pedophilia today. Muhammad set the bar for them. And he set it very, very low.
