Well it isn't too hard to find barbarism in Islam as it is practiced in reality.
Have you heard of google?

Why that article is truly shocking. And barbaric. But is haram in islam based on the Qur'an.
As for marriage age it is when the person is physically(puberty) and mentally ready for marriage. And marriage can only take place by consent from the man and the women.
Let's say I'm somewhat sympathetic to "age of consent" laws, but at the same time somewhat apprehensive about them. So I can appreciate the argument that age of consent shouldn't be set in stone. That said - in what reality is it ever okay for a husband to force his wife to have sex with him??
