It is in the first world in the 21st century. Yet it was not in the first world in the 20th century. I can recall the 'age of consent' being 14 in Missouri when i was a teen. The better discussion here is less about the 'child bride' aspect and more about idea of the forced marriage and defacto slavery or enchattlement that third world women suffer all too often.
