If the girl was raped (in GB) then the age of consent would be a defining issue.
But she wasn't and she didn't. She married a man, a Dutch National in another country more then a decade older.
It is what it is.
Hugh Cow is correct, you're hanging onto a strawman argument which doesn't wash.
It's neither valid, nor applicable. It has no legal application (as the GB Gov't has established) nor moral application.
