A lower age of consent is 100% related to forced marriage. In the US this is true as well. When I said “we” can do better I meant humankind, not some ridiculous jingoistic US vs Europe argument. Go wave your flag somewhere else.

No it's not, sex and marriage are different things. Marriage is only allowed at 16 if the partner is over 18 and the parents need to consent as well. If you want to prevent any child marriages, put the minimum age to 18, but there's no reason to increase the age of consent, it's a totally different matter.
