They interpreted the Koran fkstick, in particular the story that Muhammad married a 9 year old, as a way of creating public policy with regards to legal age of marriage.
This just shows how man made all religions are. People with "divine authority" interpret the man made scriptures to fulfil their wants and desires and they can say its gods or the prophets will.
Another slightly similar point
Many Muslims notoriously hate dogs because in the Koran it said in a tiny sentence that Muhammad didn't like dogs as he thought they were unclean. Muslims torture dogs, burning them alive, eviscerating them, crucifying them etc because the Koran says this tiny little hing which is impossible to prove he even thought.
