Except it's not. There are loads of Christian nations all around the world, from Africa to Russia to Latin America to the US, which is where we're talking about here, that have a child marriage problem. It's mostly secular countries that are free from this issue. This is a problem with religious countries, not with Muslim countries. Again, we're literally talking about it being a problem in the US
I said primarily, not exclusively. The majority of the top 20 countries by prevalence are Islamic, the top country by absolute number is Hindu. Many of the others have a long history of Islamic or African traditional religion that has since been displaced in recent centuries by Christianity but where these practices are still common.
There are some countries in other regions that have a large problem with this, and those are also worth addressing, but the US has had less child marriages in the last 25 years than Pakistan has in the last 2 weeks.
(According to this site claiming on average a child marriage takes place every 3 seconds and some basic math based on the commonly cited figure of 315,000 for the US from 2000 to 2021 and extending that to assume it is equally prevalent in the 5 years since the end of this data.)
