   Campaigners always use examples of old men marrying young girls but that’s not common at all.

   96% of children getting married were 16 or 17, and 85% of the adults marrying those children were 18-23. Not quite the horror show that campaigners push.

   I agree that no one under 18 should be getting married, I just question their tactics.

      It's because of arguments like these that people like Stallman fell into disgrace. There's no logic in defending pedophilia and definitely no benefits in defending it, it doesn't matter if you think it's a good argument.
