16 is not a child, she's totally past puberty. I wish you could take a child bride, and never allow her to leave you, and maybe have a few more eventually. Young girls are often beautiful, and perhaps will obey. Which is why we are killed or imprisoned for taking them. Humans hate eachother, almost no father will agree to marrying off his daughters young (which is why I like Deuteronomy 22 28-29 so much), and would rather not marry her off at all untill she's 25 and a whore that's now a liability to him, all her emotional support allready expended... then and only then can some shlub take her off his hands. Nuclear war will occur before any large number of men on the earth have young girls as brides again.
