Asking for Guidance on a Historical Question

Assalamu alaikum everyone, I wanted to get some advice about something that's been on my mind. As a Muslim striving to follow the Sunnah, I sometimes feel uncertain when my non-Muslim friends ask me about the marriage of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). They ask just out of curiosity, and I don't always know how to respond clearly because I've heard different accounts about her age at the time of marriage. Could anyone share some insights or references to help clarify this from an Islamic perspective?

Her age is mentioned in authentic Hadith. But the social norms of 7th century Arabia were completely different. Maturity, not just years, was the standard. Our modern perspective doesn't always apply.

May Allah make it easy for you. Sometimes just sharing her immense contributions to preserving the Sunnah shifts the conversation to what truly matters.

May Allah reward you for seeking knowledge. Look into the works of respected scholars like Ibn Kathir for clarity. The context of the time is key. Age was calculated differently then, and maturity was the primary consideration.

Tough one. I just say it was a different time with different norms and Allah knows best. Keeps it simple.
