Madam Aishah, a Study of her age at the time of her marriage with Prophet Muhammad

Historical Fact 7. Aishah was playing on a swing when called to her marriage:

Apparently Aishah was playing on a swing with her friends when she was taken inside and informed that she was now married. The phrase ‘playing on a swing’ is taken to imply that she was indeed a very young child. However, this does not necessarily suggest any such thing. Any household that includes a pleasant swing in its garden or yard will realize that very often teenagers congregate there, and make use of the swing while enjoying their conversations.

She may simply have been relaxing in the garden with young female friends.
