It's that old BS about Mohammad marrying Ayisha in an age when there were Christian child marriages among the titled nobility, with the objective of thereby creating political alliances. Such critics always fail to look in the mirror.

Classical Islamic sources state that Aisha was six years of age at the time of her marriage with Muhammad (then fifty) and nine at the time of its consummation.
[...]
this has since prompted some[g] Muslim scholars to attempt to contextualize the traditionally accepted age of Aisha with renewed vigor emphasizing on anachronism and the political dimensions of the marriage, often at the expense of historical accuracy.

I'm aware. That still doesn't stop evangelicals from making the pedo case against Muhammad, even with the age difference. His first wife was much older than he was when they got married.
