With child rape even if the child says "yes" she has not given an informed consent (she is neither mentally capable nor mature enough to know what she's saying yes to), and the adult is forcing the choice on her through the disparity in power he has over her.
So you think one person forcing their will on another is worse than two people engaged in a loving act showing equal levels of power and consent? You, sir are an immoral animal.
While pondering Parsim0ny's utterly abhorrent view of sexuality, and wondering what if anything I could add to your mic-drop comment, I got a rather odd vision in my mind's eye:
I think most of us have seen various photographs of hundreds, sometimes thousands of men performing Islamic prayers in neat, orderly rows. It appears that there is enormous pressure to conform and to submit. That is profoundly abnormal human behaviour, adherence to a dogmatic and authoritarian ritual that IMO stifles creativity and innovation and individuality (as well as getting in the way of one's daily activities by interrupting it for the required prayer sessions).
The pressure that that creates can't be healthy, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit to discover that child "marriages" and other unconscionable and evil abuses are motivated by an twisted desire to reassert a modicum of authority -- by raping someone who can't fight back.
I like seeing long orderly rows of (usually) hairy mens butts upturned.
I'd also wonder about the motivation of those in charge who came up with this arrangement.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
