Jana, You are a woman right.
So without thinking that the prophet was involved in this case, the present legal marriageable age of 18(in India) is just an arbitrary number, I agree with that, but at the same time,

do you believe that a girl of 10-15 years is ready for marriage? What will the psycological pressures and long term effects on a girl at such age?
Think about an younger sister/daughter/neighbor around you of that age and answer the question.

Does only puberty decide the marriageability of a child? A male might be able to start at around the same age too, but is he ready?
Is just reproducing the singular aim of marriage?

My answer for all the questions is no and I am not talking about any moral values and such things over here.
