Age was but a number for Momo

This is a two-panel reaction meme. The top panel features a smiling, amused woman labeled 'Muslims', with the adjacent text quote: 'Aisha was actually 9, not 6.' This references long-running debates over the age of Aisha, the wife of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, at the time her marriage was consummated. The bottom panel shows a deadpan, unimpressed woman labeled 'Me' reacting to the prior statement. The joke's punchline lies in the fact that correcting Aisha's age from 6 to 9 does not function as a valid defense, as both ages are universally recognized as far too young for marriage to an adult man, making the attempted justification completely unconvincing to the person reacting.

Origin notes

This meme is sourced from 9Gag via an RSS feed. It repurposes a widely viral two-panel reaction template originating from a 2023 public Variety Actors on Actors interview featuring actresses Jennifer Morrison and Sydney Sweeney, which is commonly used online to depict a person making a weak, ineffective argument met with unimpressed disbelief from a listener. The original title assigned to this 9Gag upload is 'Age was but a number for Momo'.
