Yes. Underage marriage usually comes out of local cultural traditions that predominate in Africa and the Indian Subcontinent. Hindus also engage in underage marriage and Jews and Christians in the Islamic World used to do this as well. Unfortunately, since Muhammad married Aïsha at such a young age, this has precedential value to more traditional leaders who wish to continue the practice of child brides. Muslims who are appalled by the idea of child brides try to "re-age" Aïsha in order to invalidate this precedent and push for minimum marriage ages above 14 or 16.
