Be sure to check the context...it's well worth it.

I think this illustrates pretty well your strategy. And it is a strategy. Focus on all points in scripture that aren't clearly addressed and fill those empty spaces with any justification you can for your position.
For example, here it is never explained in any detail what level of maturity Eve was created with. Rational people can make assumptions based on the entire remainder of the bible's position on such things, such as it's firm stance against sexual relations with anyone who's consent can't be recognized. And so we can reasonably assume Eve must have been an adult in order to be born wed to Adam. Interestingly, you here present the assumption as fact that Eve was born immature. "Mere physical maturity", you say. Never mind that you pretend psychological maturity is necessary elsewhere.
In fact, let's not "never mind" that. Why do you hastily make the claim that psychological maturity is necessary for consent elsewhere yet clearly imply that it wasn't so in Eve's case? That she was "merely physically mature" and was in fact a child bride? I submit that this idea so excited you that you forgot to apply the standard of consent.
You entire argument for both pedophilia and polygyny relies on ignoring the overall themes of the bible and focusing on individual elements as if the two were not related. Likewise most of your defense when confronted on these issues relies on filling every area undefined by the bible with erroneous assumptions. For example, you reject the obvious ideal of one man/one woman presented with Adam and Eve, the very first human couple and the one created by God Himself without any other outside involvement. Likewise all throughout the bible this is presented as the standard He approves of. And yet to support the notion of polygyny you rely on the fact that God tells us about others who practiced it later, basing your assumption of His acceptance on the fact that He doesn't make a fuss about it.
To anyone with the ability to objectively evaluate it is clear you're rationalizing. And the only reason anyone ever rationalizes anything is because there is something they desire that is denied to them or they have transgressed in some way and want to avoid guilt for it.
In short, you react like a pervert who's using the bible to justify his desires. Which makes you not only a pervert but a particularly vile one for twisting God's word to justify your perversion.
