But in the US it's legal. In a bunch of states all you need is parental consent for a teen barely out of puberty to marry an adult, and some will lower the age if the child is already pregnant.
Yall ever seen the documentary series, keep sweet, pray, and obey? Pretty terrifying that the US allows these evangelical child sex cults to exist.
