In only 10 American states and the only European state is Turkey. I’m guessing the rest of the world makes it even lower, 14 in China for example.

Why does this seem like trolling?
17 is underaged in large parts of the world. Period.

Uh, no. World wide average age of consent is 16.

I mean, anything in the low teens is wild to me, but a single digit age?
The whole “must be married” thing as well made me chuckle. Partly for the religious interference, but mainly for the ease of which the clause could be abused.
In retrospect, it’s very little to chuckle about.

Honestly, anything below the age of majority is sketchy (excepting a romeo and julet clause) IMHO and I was surprised the average was 16.

Yeah absolutely. My compass has been set to the UK’s sixteen as it’s all I’ve ever known, and even then anything below it (excluding the exceptions you’ve noted) feels a bit icky.
