Well, if this were the standard, most of us wouldn't be here, because our ancestors would all have been killed. This includes my wife, whose grandmother was 15 and grandfather 18 when they married. They were happily married for over 50 years and have dozens of descendants.
I am in favor of the death penalty for real child molesters, but your proposal is idiotic moral hysteria.

Not idiotic. Just not carefully planned. Perhaps as in my previous post the law could best be worded with severe penalties for those who molest only one teen, but those convicted of molesting more than one could receive death?
People maybe do not understand how an adult having sex with a teen ruins the teen's thinking and life for some time, if not forever. This should be discouraged strongly. Penalties now are not strong enough.
We can't compare this with our grandparents, who married in their teens. That was very different from today's coaches and teachers getting off on their students.
