First of all, I don't believe that for a minute. That is what CPS is for.

Secondly, that does not even come close to justifying letting 16-year-olds marry. That's a reason that the foster system needs to be reformed, not that child marriage is a good idea.

I don't give a fuck if you believe me or not, CPS does not give a flying fuck about people in the foster care system. My ex-wife got raped twice while in the foster system after people like you told her that CPS would be better. Sure, she was not getting beat to death (figuratively; I have a feeling you're gonna be pedantic about that phrase), but she was at least used to that part...

Then, again, the argument should be to reform the foster system, and not maintain the child marriage system, which also facilitates rape.

I'm NOT ARGUING FOR child marriages! You told me to give you a reason, so I did. The original poster above said states were trying to lower ages; they aren't! The national minimum age is steadily rising. Some dipshit republicans in some states argued against it - that doesn't mean that "states are lowering the age" as claimed.
