Don’t lie, don’t steal, be honest, love people, treat others as you wish to be treated. The bible says NOTHING about what age to have sex. There are lots of instances of dudes with multiple wives, people killing each other and so on in your sainted Bible. Marriage (with a license) is a statist construct. So give it a rest.
The Torah, Talmud, and New Testament are unanimous in declaring sex should happen within marriage. There are lots of social and civilizational reasons for that. In the times where that was more strictly enforced, it was also the norm to have girls married off young (typically 13), to a man who had gotten her parents approval, so as to better ensure that sex stayed within marriage.
That lying and stealing is always wrong, and just what love means, and how one should be treated presumes a moral framework that provides this (lying to save Jews, stealing the knife of a maniac can be just, while suicidal persons agreeing to kill each other by consent is doing unto others...) So just what is your sure substantive standard of morality that provides this? Your own golden compass conscience?

So you think:
The Bible allows for pedophilia?
Polygamy is like fornication which must always be wrong?
People killing each other must always be wrong, or it was when commanded by God?
The Bible only supports marriage as licensed by the government, or that marriage is not necessary for valid sexual relation?
And again, since it not Scripture, just what is your sure substantive standard of morality that we can hold you to, and judge the beliefs and actions of others by?
