The age of sexual consent. And I realize that the risks are higher for women under 20, however I am sure that they are much higher for 10 year-olds who have barely started puberty, than for 14-16 year-olds (I would prefer that the age of consent be raised to 16) whose bodies have already undergone more changes to be ready for pregnancy and childbirth (which is in essence all that puberty is)
