You're making an argument from the current law.

the law would have to be changed for it not to be so

Current law also does not recognize polygamous, incestuous, or gay marriages. A legal change would be needed to allow those as well.

Depends on the definition of "children." Most cultures think that 13 is old enough to consent to sex, especially if the person is male, or if female, it's part of marriage. See, e.g., Mohammed, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Edgar Allen Poe.

Is there a Constitutional right to engage in consensual sex with an intelligent and mature 13 year old? If not, why not?
