[Shri Anil asked: Based on the following verse Ali Sina blames Muhammad as a pedophile. ‘A’isha reported: Allah’s Apostle married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to His house when I was nine years old.
Question: Swami, kindly give a reply on the above allegation.]
Swami Replied:- Again this is the topic of worldly life and these customs and traditions are based on the conditions of the then society. You have to understand these traditions in view of those circumstances of the society existing then. In doing so, you cannot discuss about good and bad because we are not supporting bad either in the ancient days or in the present days. Whether it is old society or new society good is good and bad is bad. If bad existed in the ancient society, we don’t say that it is good since it was ancient society. You have to understand these traditions as inevitable and implemented by the society as controlling parameters as far as possible. How can you raise questions about the past without knowing the past circumstances of the past society? You raise questions in the modern society if anything is wrong and try to rectify it.
