>Age of consent
Romeo and Juliet standard. If they're younger than 17, you can fuck up to four years younger than you without criminal prosecution.
E.G. if you're 17, you can fuck a 13 y/o, if you're 20, you can fuck a 16 year old. If you're under 17 law remains the same.
This ensures that the mental gap in the child isn't so wide as for it to be considered an act of coercion by the older gentleman/woman, and is more than reasonable for those teens who are just barely over or under that age group.
>Child marriage
I don't see anything necessarily "wrong" with grooming a child for marriage if there's no pre-marital sex in theory, except for that most of the people who advocate it are mentally ill individuals who are just looking for an excuse to coerce young girls into sex, Mainly because they've failed with their generation, much in the same way that a 30 year old male seduces young women right out of highschool or barely in college due to the game he has accumulated over the years.
On the occasions where I've asked alleged child groomers about if they would be able to keep themselves in check until the girl was physically fully developed, they quickly slithered and squirmed about, coming up with excuses left and right about how "she might want it." When questioned further about whether they could stay with a girl and keep a non-sexual relationship until she was fully developed, they outright attacked me or claimed I was part of the problem, leaving me with a strong distaste for their kind and the clear impression that said "child groomers" would likely look to other children the moment their potential bride was no longer in her pubescent or pre-pubescent years. This is not the basis for a healthy or Christian relationship at all.
Therefore in theory, I see no problem with a man or woman raising a child for marriage, but only under the following conditions...
1) The parents must BOTH agree to it, not just one.
2) There is a written marriage contract.
3) They will not be married until the girl is of a marriageable age age of adulthood, I'll say 17.
4) If Romeo & Juliet Laws would prevent them from having sexual intercourse, they must not have sexual intercourse until the child reaches the age of adulthood pre-marital sex is a sin anyways.
5) The child in question may choose to exempt herself from the contract at any point without her parent's permission in order to keep it from becoming a forced marriage
6) The adult in question must not have more than one generational gap to be defined as 12 years between themselves and the child. (ex: a 25 y/o may not enter a marriage contract with a 12 year old, but they may with a 13 year old)
If the above, completely reasonable requirements are fulfilled, then it's perfectly fine for child grooming for marriage to take place.

Don't use an arbitrary number. Since we should be honest and admit that age of consent to is meant to protect the woman and not the man, 16-17 is around the age where puberty is nearly finished for most women, and Romeo/Juliet laws will keep any misdemeanors from taking place in the cases where a "barely adult" fucks a teen.
