The point was the abiding by the law maybe shouldn't be the only measure. Ironically you're illustrating the same thing by showing those countries have it wrong despite being within their laws.

You're literally comparing us to countries
who treat females as property, I can't even take seriously someone who suggests any sort of equivalence between the underlying principles informing them on what's acceptable and what isn't.

If you're suggesting our laws probably have the age right and someone at that age has the agency to make those decisions, I don't have a problem with your position.
There's a difference in saying "we have the law right" vs "as long as it's within the law".
The first has you using moral judgement on the appropriateness of our laws, the 2nd has your morality based only in conforming to the laws.

I am suggesting the former; that 'we have the law right'. I have zero problems arguing that child brides and that sort of thing are reprehensible.
