3.Child Marriage.

Muhammad married a child of six and encouraged his followers to marry young children.  The following hadiths attest this:

‘…. A rider came behind me. I looked back and saw that the rider was Allah's Apostle . He said (to me), "What makes you in such a hurry?" I replied, "I am newly married." He said, "Did you marry a virgin or a matron?" I replied, "(Not a virgin but) a matron." He said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl with whom you could play and who could play with you?" (Bukhari Vol.7, Bk. 62, H. 172, Bukhari, 17).

"Why did you not marry a young girl who would have fondled with you?" I replied, "O Allah's Apostle! My father was martyred on the day of Uhud and left nine (orphan) daughters who are my nine sisters; so I disliked to have another young girl of their age, but (I sought) an (elderly) woman who could comb their hair and look after them." The Prophet said, "You have done the right thing."( Bukhari, Vo.5, Bk.59, H.382).

“Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed that marriage when she was nine years old”. (Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 236).

‘And as for those of your women who have despaired of menstruation, in case you have any suspicion, then their (fixed) spell shall be three months, (along) with those who have not menstruated (as yet) because of their young age their period shall also be three months. Quran 65:4: (Tafsir al Jalalyn).

Those who have not even started menstruation, like Aisha, have been allowed to be married in Islam. However Muhammad did not allow this for his own daughter Fatima. That shows that it was not a commonly accepted practice.

"Abu Bakr and 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, proposed marriage to Fatimah but the Messenger of Allah said: 'She is young.' Then 'Ali proposed marriage to her and he married her to him." (Grade: Sahih, Sunan an-Nasa’I 3221, Bk. 26, H. 26).

Child marriage in Islam is not between two children as it had been in Hindu religion, but with a male who is old enough to be father or grandfather of the girl child. It is very reprehensible in any culture and society.

4.Sex with Children

Ayottullah Khomeini the supreme leader of Shia’t community in Iran made this ruling: Ruling #12:

‘It is not permission to have intercourse before (her) being 9 years old, be it in nikkaah (permanent marriage) or temporary marriage. And As for all other pleasures such as lustful touch, embracing, and thighing, there is no problem in it even with a suckling infant. If he does have sexual intercourse before nine years of age and does not penetrate, there is no penalty, but he has committed a sin. If he does penetrate causing the vagina and urethra openings to be one, she will become forever haram for him, but this is as a precaution. And it is more probable that her status as his wife is not removed. And the rulings of inheritance, and the prohibition of a fifth wife or marriage to her sister applies. And it is waajib upon him for her maintenance as long as she is alive, even if he divorces her and even if she marries after divorcing her as a precautionary measure. And it is waajib upon him for blood money for the penetration and the amount is equivalent to that of an individual. If she is a free-woman, the amount is half that of a man, plus the dowry that she became entitled to through the `aqd and penetration. If he penetrates his wife after the age of nine, she does not become haram to him and there is no evidence that blood money is liable, but as a precautionary measure, he should maintain her as long as she is alive, although it is more probable that this is not obligatory."

Source: al-Khomeini, taHreer al-Waseelah, vol. 2, pg. 241, Kitaab al-Nikaah, Ruling # 12

It isn't only al-Khomeini who has done this fatwa, Ali- al-Sistani (Religious leader of Shi’as in Iraq) has also said this fatwa almost verbatim (a few minor changed) in his Minhaaj al-SaaliHeen.

  18.Killing women of immoral behavior. ‘Those of your women who commit illegal sexual intercourse, take the evidence of four witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them (i.e. women) to houses until death comes to them or Allah ordains for them some (other) way”. Quran 4:15   Sahih International One can’t imagine such a severe punishment for anyone in this present day time. And further, Quran doesn’t say the same kind of punishment for the men who commit such sins.. 19.Islam does not protect women against rape. “Those who accuse the chaste women (of fornication), but they do not produce four witnesses, flog them with eighty stripes and do not accept their any evidence any more. They are the sinners..”, Q.24:4 (Mufti Taqi Usmani). On the other side of the coin, this Quran verse also implies that a woman cannot accuse any rape she had suffered unless he has four or more witnesses. If she can produce only one or two witnesses her cas...

  63.Muhammad fought with his wives and he stayed away from them for a month. “Narrated Um Salama: The Prophet vowed to keep aloof from his wives for a period of one month, and after the completion of 29 days he went either in the morning or in the afternoon to his wives. Someone said to him "You vowed that you would not go to your wives for one month." He replied, "The month is of 29 days." (Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 31, Number 134). 64.Women  are deficient in intelligence and religion, should be submissive to men: Commentary of Quran 4.34  by Jalal - Al-Jalalayn: Men are in charge of, they have authority over, women, disciplining them and keeping them in check, because of that with which God has preferred the one over the other, that is, because God has given them the advantage over women, in knowledge, reason, authority and otherwise, and because of what they expend, on them [the women], of their property. Therefore righteous women, among them, are obedient...

  Another attempt to rape : In another incident reported in Bukhari 5255, Bk.68, H.5, Muhammad asked a noble woman for sex and on being rejected he raised hand to beat her. This is translated by Islamic sources as Muhammad asking for marriage and not for sex. I quote here the translations rendered by an Arabi speaking author and Islamic Scholar, Christian Prince,   in his Book ‘Sex & Allah, Vol.1, ISBN:1-943375-06-2, ISBN:13:978-1-943375-06-6. “…. The Jauniya (the name of the lady) had been brought and roomed in a house in a date-palm garden in the home of Umaima bint Al-Nu’man bin Shara’hil, and her wet-nurses was with her. When the Prophet (Allah pray on him and salute him) entered upon her, he said to her, “ Give me yourself (for sex) as a gift .” She said, “how it is possible that a Queen would give herself to a Savage man ?” The Prophet (Allah pray on him and salute him) raised his hand to slap her so that she might obey and do his request . She said, “I seek refu...
