    You’re acting like plenty of politicians in the West wouldn’t do this if they could.

        Age of consent to sex, not marriage.

        https://www.ageofconsent.net/world

        According to this, it looks like the closest country to this age of consent is Nigeria, at 11.

        If you want age of marriage, in the US, looks like four states will let you marry at any age, but require special conditions like parental approval or court approval:

        California, Utah, Oklahoma, and Mississippi.

          Nigeria is not “the West”

          Child marriage in the US is rare, in sharp decline and is heavily skewed towards poverty and Native Americans. Numerous political movements exist to raise minimum marriage age to 16-18.

          So again, name a mainstream Western political movement where marriage at 9 is not insanity

            Nigeria is not “the West”

            I didn’t say it was. I’m just indicating wherevthe floor is.
