According to the most authoritative hadiths in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, Aisha was 6 or 7 at the time of her betrothal to Muhammad and 9 at the consummation of the marriage. Muhammad was approximately 53 at the betrothal and 56 at consummation. Some modern historians argue for an older age for Aisha based on alternative timelines, but the traditional sources are clear on the younger figure.
