Did the Messenger compel Abu Bakr to marry him to Aisha despite their aversion to that?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Aisha, herself, took pride and boasted in her marriage to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and in the fact that he did not marry any virgin other than her, and she was jealous over him.
