An age of consent of 16 or higher is ridiculous

Children used to lead armies at 12. What you consider 16 today is not what 16 used to be.

Modern western society is designed to prevent maturing into an adult. In our household we consider a man capable of leading his house at the age of 14, if he was raised by the methods of the house. Those from outside we say 16 years is enough.

Where are you from, India or something?

Irrelevant.

I will note: I do not actually support OP, as he is clearly retarded. Marriage and responsibility can start early, but I think 16 is the absolutely bare minimum for child bearing and even then I would say 18-20 are the best years. The idea of older men going after much younger women is also a sign of bad parenting.
