An interview with Dr. Ahmad Al-Mub'i, a Saudi Marriage Officiant, was aired by LBC TV on 19^th.June 2008, in which Dr Al-Mubi said,

It is allowed to marry a girl at the age of one, if sex is postponed. The prophet Muhammad, whose model we follow, married 'Aisha when she was six and had sex with her when she was nine "

Plain speaking about the reason why Muslim men marry and have sex with children isn't it?
