I mean according to the story told to the followers. It's a lot better imo than in Islam where Aisha was six at the time of the marriage and nine when they had sex...

Then again Mary is a character in both religions' stories

    A lot better in reality or in storytelling?

    Modern translations of the Bible try to soften culturally unacceptable practices in the present day like pedophilia and rape (especially in the old testament).

    A lot better in that Mary was older than Aisha was at the time of marriage or sex
