Some states in the US still have marriage exceptions in the age of consent laws and some states still have laws allowing you get married at young ages with parents/judge approval iirc. Also several states that have some exceptions for some forms of marital rape. So not really surprising that other countries would also technically have laws like that. Definitely room for improvement in a lot of places...
