This is what struck me as overboard: a great deal(most?) developed countries allow marriage before 18, with parental consent. Unless the Netherlands absolutely refuses to marry minors, I don't see much of a reason to refuse to recognize marriages with partners under 16(which seems to be a common minimum).
