My scenario would have involved a 21-year-old and a 15-year-old or a 14-year old, but I see the difficulty. I'm just pointing out a technical problem.
Second, the close-in-age exemption, or where parties are not close in age, refers also to the concept of dependence—where there is not dependency. But if a 19-year-old adult marries a 15-year-old, you may well have dependency, so the dependency removes the exemption. The existence of a dependency turns this into a criminal offence, and I don't see where being married removes the criminal offence if there exists a dependency.
Could you put me at ease and explain how a male who supports a 16-year-old—they are married or common law, but there is dependence, and dependence takes away the exemption?
