Except the interest part of the mortgage payment is equivalent to rent, and the principle part is paying down the loan. Mortgage payments are often much higher than rent payments for an equivalent property. Whether it’s a better deal to buy or rent depends on a number of factors and isn’t as cut and dry as the op suggests.

Age of consent varies by country with many developed nations having it at 16. If these women were 16 or 17, the far greater crime is the trafficking and coercion.

Age of consent is 16 in Australia and many other western nations. Governments need to set an age to say what is too young, but whether that age is 16 or 18 is somewhat arbitrary.
