Recognize the marriage so that people are open about their shit, enabling dialogue so that the child has the power to divorce in order to get legal protections (such as police protection, restraining orders, the right to sue for allowance) to separate by recognizing their legal right to separate.
This way you're FAR FAR less likely to have some asshole keeping their child spouse locked in a basement away from the world somewhere.
This may actually be better.
