If this passes, the age of legal marriage will be higher than the age of consent in Missouri. So, fornication is ok but marriage isn't? Maybe they didn't think that one through. Also, current law there already bans most child marriage, but you have to scroll down a while in the article to see that:

Missouri law presently states that anyone under 16 can't get married, but that 16 and 17-year-olds may get married to someone who is younger than 21 if they have consent from their parents.

It's always been permissible for teenage girls to marry with parental permission. Doesn't mean that should be the norm, but some girls are ready before others and better they seek marriage than what they do now (fornication, also often with legal adults).
