A few hundred years it wasn't unusual in some sections of society for a girl to be married as a child, and as soon as she started menstruating was available to her husband to provide an heir. There are plenty of examples of girls among European nobility getting married before their 10th birthday, and starting to produce children from about age 12 onwards. While in this day and age we find that abhorrent, back then it was a normal part of culture - not just arab, but worldwide.
Funny - I thought you'd be against applying the standards of our age against former times. I didn't realise you're a millenial snowflake.
