That's the 6 year old, he had at least 12 wives, not surprising she was a virgin. Took is the operative word and still is today in too many cases.
My problem with that is minor compared to repugnance at 21st c Muslims abusing Western principles of religious freedom by demanding the right to 4 wives, each of whom may be young enough for them all to be carried at once.

According to some Islamic clerics, it is not only an entitlement but a duty for good Muslims to marry prepubescent girls, because Mohamed did. Only, Mohamed's first wife was 15 years older than him (25 / 40), and I have not heard any clerics proclaim it a Muslim duty to do the same. Could be convenience, or evil, but something sure stinks.
