Check age of consent laws for American states. Find that outrageous? LOL, next have a look at Europe.

If it's legal to have sex with a 16 or 17 year old, it's legally consistent to allow marriage.

    You are working under the assumption that the consequences of sex and marriage are the same. Much of the world doesn't agree, as per your list.

    I'm thinking we agree? In any case, the age of majority, marriage and consent are all over the place on this Earth, and almost all are under 18. Again, if you can fuck you should be able to marry, to be legally consistent.

    You both need to check Aisha's age before even comparing US or Europe to it

    Classical Islamic sources state that Aisha was six at the time of her marriage with Muhammad and nine at the time of its consummation.
