How the US has been approaching the issue.

Under New York law (as under the law of many other states), statutory rape laws do not apply when the defendant is married to the girl; and though New York doesn’t let such young girls marry in New York, many states (presumably including New York) do recognize marriages that were lawfully entered into in jurisdictions where the age boundaries are lower.

I wonder if islamophobia will cause a similar rethinking of consent in America.
