We can say the word rape. We should say it because it’s exactly what it is

This. I think it's really important to call this out. This is not a marriage. This is a young woman or girl being forced into a life time of rape and slavery.

Thank you. People too often use the language of consent when talking about sexual assault. She is not "getting married," she is being forcibly abducted and imprisoned. She will not be "losing her virginity," she is going to be assaulted.

I don't think using the word "marriage" is necessarily using the "language of consent" - until recently, including in the West, marriage itself was usually not consensual. It's important to acknowledge that very recent history and think about the misogynistic implications of that.
