Question:

Salaam alaikum,
Is it true that Islam allows 9 year olds to be married? How legible is the consent of the 9-year-old? and likewise if she were forced to marry, that would be wrong.
I know that this doubt comes from the Prophet's marriage to Aisha, but my question is not about Aisha. I know her marriage was social reasons and it was recommended by a woman, infact. But was it just for that, or does this prove that it is ok for a child to get married?
Saudi is generally defamed for this too, because certain clerics there are quite outspoken for their support for such practises and claim that denying them is unjust to the girl child being married! Even if they weren't that known, the media definitely publizises them.
I want a clear answer from a knowledgeable Muslim - is getting girls as old as 9 permissible in Shariah?

Question:

If the husband wants to sleep with his wife and she does not want to and she hasn’t got a sickness or whatever, there is nothing wrong with her she just does not feel like it, and he ends up sleeping with her by force. Is this allowed in in the Islamic jurisprudence? is this rape or not?
Today many self styled Islamic clerics claim that this is totally OK in accordance with the authentic narrations of prophet Muhammed (PBUH).
