If you want to shout about underage marriage go check out our own Good King Richard (II) and his marriage to Isabelle of France , oldest daughter of King Charles VI, was not quite seven years old when she married Richard II as his second wife in 1396. After his death 3 years later she was then ordered by King Henry IV to marry his son (the future Henry V), she refused. That was some 770 years later.

They married when she was 6 and had sex at 9. Richard was just a king of England, Muhammed is the founder of the fastest growing religion.
