I suspect that it is the general populace who are against child marriage simply because it is a weasel wording of pedophilia and they are not the least bit fooled.I wouldn't say it's because of that. It would take a lot of research to find out – if it's possible to find out.
Thus it has nothing to do with religion or government, but basic human decency.
I will further go on record and state it is my opinion that it is mostly the pedophiles of the world who want child marriage to be legal and are using government and religion to justify it.
