“You think it’s okay for fathers to sell their daughters without their consent?”

Look at history, most cultures (until recently) arranged the marriage of BOTH male and female offspring. What did you have as a result? Stable marriages for the most part and intact families with two parents raising their kids.

Now look at what we have today. Over half of the kids are being raised by single parent (female in most cases) families, women turned into little more the whores and rising violence as men raised by females have no self control or respect for authority. So yes, fathers arranging the marriage of their daughters would be OK by me as they are probably better at choosing a mate than she would be.

Your application to become a Muslim is being processed. Meanwhile, be sure to grow your beard to the right length, and get rid of all your music. And oh by the way, they stone men too, not just women. I’m sure you would like it much better if they only stoned women.

Look at history....

Everybody derives their morality from somewhere. History seems a rather odd choice, though.

Would you sex a 13 year old if their father arranged it? How about a 15 year old? Is there a "magic number"?

A morality based on history provides a big ole thumbs up.
