What you're talking about in your article above has nothing to do with pedophilia. You haven't named even one case in which an adult man forcibly married a prepubescent child under 12 years of age. If you really wish to educate yourself about the statutory-rape laws in the United States and how the teenage marriage laws should not be treated as a form of child molestation, you need to read the online publication titled The Paradox of Statutory Rape by Russell Christopher and Kathryn Hope Christopher from beginning to end and also read the online article titled "Rage of Consent" by Heather Corinna; and you'll see that this issue is much more elaborate than the press and the media care to present it to the public at large. You don't want to keep on seeing this issue with tunnel vision. I'm equally as anti-pedophile as you are, but I don't like it whenever anyone gets the definition of pedophilia wrong when discussing issues related to teenage minors getting married to someone their own age or to someone even older. It's like you're comparing oranges and apples.
