According to this, it looks like the closest country to this age of consent is Nigeria, at 11.
If you want age of marriage, in the US, looks like four states will let you marry at any age, but require special conditions like parental approval or court approval:
Child marriage in the US is rare, in sharp decline and is heavily skewed towards poverty and Native Americans. Numerous political movements exist to raise minimum marriage age to 16-18.
So again, name a mainstream Western political movement where marriage at 9 is not insanity
Sure the west and their settler colonialism massive resource extraction and so on is great. And its not like the many religious problems against say homosexuality in christian Africa can’t be directly be blamed on christian missionaries. And its also not like poverty and brutal attacks on secular nationalists in the middle east in the name of fighting communism has anything to do with modern political Islam. No sir.
Nothing to see here guys. All cultures are equal and thinking the West has a better way is colonialism

That’s quite some whataboutism. I’m clearly talking about the insanity of 9 year old girls being forced to wed…
