Eh, I haven't read this law, but I don't think it allows you to have sex with a child if you legally married them in another country. I don't think child marriages are ever about pedophilia, but more about the fact that in some cultures marriages are primarily a political tool to cement family relations, like Game of Thrones type of marriages. In all likelihood having a marriage like that legally recognized gives the people in it much more meaningful support for getting out of it than they would ever have otherwise.
