This to make correc tions to Mr Emam's post of January2. Only one of Prophet's wife (Khadija) was older than him. All others were younger ,some very much younger. Among very young wives were Ayesha (9 years old), Safia (17 years old), Rehana (20 years old), Juavaria (20 years 0ld), Maria (. Except Sauda who was about one year younger , all others were younger by about 40 to 20+ years . The widows he married were either wives of infidels whom he had killed and were taken as booty, or were wives of his fellow Jihadis who were killed because he took them to attack the infidels. One of his prettiest wife was his adopted son's wife whom he had married after getting divine instruction. He had a son ( Ibrahiom) from his young and very pretty slave girl Maria when he was 60 which shows that his relationships were definitely physical and not plutonic.
