I believe you would have to do the reverse. Find where in the bible it says to raise the age of consent past puberty age.
You're more correct than me.
But basically, to say that it is "Christian" to do anything about the age of consent (in any direction) one should have to point out reference to it.
If
https://www.gospelgazette.com/gazette/2005/may/page20.htm can be believed, you could betrothe a loli at "twelve years and a day" and then the marriage is finalized after a 10 month betrothal period, so it would be done prior to her being thirteen. They don't cite any passage though so I think this is possibly based on jewish oral traditions (ie rabbinism) which isn't reliable IMO
This is not entirely consistent though,
https://biblicalgenderroles.com/what-is-the-minimum-age-for-marriage-according-to-the-bible/ for example says "twelve and a half" instead. I don't know where these guys are getting their numbers, under-citing...
Apparently the Israelites had to be 20+ to go to war as men but I'm pretty sure they could marry/fuck younger. I think the idea was they ought to have spent a couple years with their babies prior to dying.
https://www.gotquestions.org/marriage-age.html references two hebrew terms:
yaldah (11 or younger, too young for marriage)
na'arah (12 and older, marriagiable)
The term "hyperakmos" meaning "ripe" is I think also used synonymously with na'arah

"Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you,
zarise.” 42 And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. "
A bit confused about this part , but apparently recognizes that some 12yos have started puberty (can be married) while others are late-bloomers (maybe puberty begins for them at 13) so they can still be a "little girl" at age twelve.
I don't think the "Mark" book was written in Hebrew (didn't they switch to Latin in the New Testament?) so maybe we should figure out what "Talitha" means?

OT in Ezekiel also seems to imply growing pubes+boobs is when girls can begin to fuck:
Ezekiel 16:7 (KJV) said:
I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments:
thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown,
whereas thou wast naked and bare.
Ezekiel 18:7 (KJV) said:
Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold,
thy time was the time of love;
and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness:
yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine.”
Paul in NT also:
[quoet=Corinthians 7:36 (KJV)]
if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin,
if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry
[/quote]
So it's less about "she turned twelve" and more like "she turned twelve AND either there is pubes or boobs or menstruation indicating she has "flowered".
I don't believe "pass the flower" refers to the completion of puberty because it's doubtful any girl has completed it by twelve so why would they set that as the marriage age if it were about completion?
It's about initiating, but they also set a 12 minimum for weird cases like Lina Medina where she started at 7
