Yes, classify it as domestic violence and decriminalize consentual sex with a spouse under the age of 18

“decriminalize consentual sex with a spouse under the age of 18”

Does that mean decriminalize pedophilia, like 40&16 years old? Or decriminalize 17&18 years old?

a 16 year old most likely has gone through puberty, therefore it wouldn't be pedophilia. How is 17&18 year old people having sex with each other pedophilia?

That's sort of the issue with grey areas like this; If the court rules in favor of one decision or the other, it stands that similar decisions will result in the same. I agree with the above stance, however, and despite the risk of a large age gap going unchecked, it would probably minimize scrutiny to couples who don't need it.
