I think he married her when she was six but, being the loving husband he was, he waited until she was nine before he raped her.
He also beat her for leaving the house without his permission.

Yes, that is (supposedly) true.
He said allah made it known to him, that none can consummate their marriage until the girl can ‘bear his weight.’ Infants and toddlers are (supposedly) off limits.
He then instructed his followers it was permissible to sexually molest any child at any age by the practice of ‘thighing’ which is still abominable, and still very commonly committed and accepted by moslems.
