This is sickening. That child deserves a divorce. And since when is Sharia law the law in a Western country?

Well, it's more complicated than that. 14 isn't that young compared to 16. It's not like a 14 year old can't consent but suddenly when you hit 16, you can. These people come from a different place. It's normal there to get married that early, like it was normal in Europe 200 years ago. Many of the girls want to marry, because that's just what women do there. So if the marriage isn't forced, divorcing them would probably do more harm than good.
