**If a lecture on sex can be conducive for underage then he/she can consent as well. How can you stop a girl in 16 marrying a man of age 60 if your law had declared her mature? Isnt it the case of superior marrying minor?

**I don’t quite understand what you’re getting at but I’ll try to understand as best as I can. Depending on where you live, a 16 year old marrying a 60 year old could be perfectly legal (Age of consent in the UK is 16). Wait one more year (16 year old turns 17) and it would be legal here in Texas as well. Is this a case of an adult getting into a relationship with a minor? I guess this is where the lawmakers had to make a compromise. They had to come up with an age where they deemed most people would have some level of maturity. For example, they had the following numbers to make a decision:
12 year old: 85% don’t know what’s good for them long term
14 year old: 50% don’t know what’s good for them long term
17 year old: 25% don’t know what’s good for them long term
20 year old: 20% don’t know what’s good for them long term
25 year old: 18% don’t know what’s good for them long term

They made a compromise between the age when a person is likely to be aware of what’s right for them and how much personal freedom that person should have.

It’s not very different from the 21 year age limit for alcohol consumption (in the US). (Hopefully) It’s a number based on extensive research into human development and behavior. Or the age for driving.

I would say teaching sex practices are counter productive as children would take it as permission granted or persuasion to him/her to have sex(protected or not protected) while being underage.

That’s the exact same argument conservatives down here use to push for abstinence only programs in schools. Highest rates of teenage pregnancy are in conservative states for the most parts. The kids who want to have sex and have a willing partner will find a way to make it happen regardless of whether the school sex ed programs are abstinence only or not. Educating them makes sure that if they do end up having sex they do it safely and responsibly.
**
Without arguing it can go both ways but I would put it as
Mon-martial Relationship:
There is no sense of responsibility so more abuse are expected.

Marriage:
Since couple aim at making the relationship last longer so less abuse and more care about each other.**

People who care about each other care regardless of whether there is a piece of paper involved or not. On the contrary, it’s often easier to get out of an dysfunctional relationship if you’re not married. Besides, people might not wanna commit to a long-term commitment such as marriage for various reasons. And I don’ see anything wrong with that as long as all parties involved are in agreement on what the relationship is and isn’t.

Now marriage does have it’s benefits. These may or may not apply depending on where you live.

Being able to visit your partner in a hospital when “family only” visitation is allowed.

Legitimizing kids. (I assume) It’s easier to establish paternity when married parents have a kids.

Being able to use each others benefits such as health care, pension, etc

Immigration

Making parents happy

These are the ones I could think of right now.

In fact we observe in our society that more abuse are found in non-marital relationships. stats and data also suggest same.

Can you share a link of these stats and data you mentioned.
