There are some who would argue that given the age of the child, it was impossible for her to consent in any legally meaningful sense. Therefore, the act was not consensual .. Some tight-asses might want to construe it that way. But it was consensual. Period. Some woman get married in some cultures at that age. You can get married in this country at 15. --
