Prophet Muhammad did not marry Ayesha when she was only 6 years old. Her parents offered marriage as was customary in their culture at the time. However the prophet dit not accept this and they waited a number of years before offering marriage to him again. * +

Prophet Muhammad was offered the marriage to Ayesha by her father and mother on more than one occassion. Once when Ayesha was only six. She was summoned by her mother to come into the house to hear the proposal of her father to prophet Muhammad. He did not accept this offer, even though it was customary at that time to do so, but as she was not yet of age. * +

Note: Her father is the one offering the marriage to his lifelong friend (Muhammad). The prophet did not marry her at the time and she says she returned back to place outside. She did not marry him and returned to her friends outside to play! * +

A few years later when she was old enough to marry according to Islam (she was able to bear children) she did accept the proposal of marriage and she did marry the prophet. * +
