There is a reason why marriage age limits are frequently below the age of consent.
One of important reasons why society wants to push age of consent way above puberty age - is because society wants to prevent teenagers from having promiscuous sex and have pregnancies out of wedlock.
Marriage helps to reduce both these risks. That is why marriage is allowed at a lower ages than age of consent.
