If we say it is not legal to marry until X years old then someone will say it is wrong to date or court or talk to someone at X - 1 years old
If you have to court or talk to or date someone for at least 1 year before marrying them
Then whatever marriage age you set as X results in people not marrying until X + 1 years old
The only solution is to officially legalize courting at a younger age than the official legal age of marriage

An 18 year old man dating a 16 year old woman is usually bad
The age gap should usually be much large if the man has had enough time to develop skills & resources to support a family in our current society
The man usually should be at least 23 years old

"A massive new study of online dating finds that everyone dates aspirationally—and that a woman’s desirability peaks 32 years before a man’s does."

What kind of high paying job can an 18 year old man get? How much saved money would an 18 year old man have? What kind of skills at getting resources would an 18 year old man have?
Child labour laws have delayed the age at which men have working skills. Most men do not know how to farm their own food anymore. The prices of property have sky rocketed due fractional reserve lending. Property tax makes farming not affordable.

Next follow the words between qualified persons; for persons excluded by law cannot contract marriage, and if they do their marriage is invalid. Persons, for instance, within the fourth degree of kindred, a boy before his fourteenth year, and a female before her twelfth, the ages established by law, cannot contract marriage.
