Truth be told there are many conflicting stories on Aisha's age at
the time of marriage. Much of the info is based on timeline
information that suggests she may have been significantly older, more
like 16, and also suggests that the young age attributed her is but
so much propaganda. I can try scrounging up my info on this, but I
just wanted to let you know that it wasn't a certainty.

On the other issue, the henna design is perfect for a young girl!
Complex, yet simple, just as children are. Delicate yet strong,
again, just as children are! Brava; makes me want to find a youngster
to decorate, guess one day I'll have to have my own to practice on!
Peace
