The Monotheist Translation is NOT faithful to the original Arabic text!

Qur'aan does specify the age of Nikah. Age does not mean certain number of years from the date of birth. Age means a specific period-duration of time. Qur'aan has unimbiguously and specifically specified the period in the life of a man and woman when they can enter into Nikah.
Nikah is a consented contract involving two sane persons of mature body and mind; and the third party is the society-state.
Qur'aan has laid down the standards which will never be altered. Nothing is left as so called relative. Morality of Qur'aan is absolute not relative to time and space..
Three terms are used for those who are destined to Hell-Prison; namely Fasiqoon; Zaalemoon; and Kafroon. Who ever does not decide and adjudge exactly according to that which is revealed in the Book of Allah the Exalted in the entire time line are declared as such by these three titles.
Be mindful; if anyone in timeline decided and commanded not by that the Book which Allah the Exalted communicated
Thereby, they are the people who are in fact the non-believers.Be mindful; if anyone in timeline decided and commanded not by that the Book which Allah the Exalted communicated
Thereby such people are truly the evil-doers-distorters-creators of imbalances-disorders-over stepping.Be mindful; if anyone in timeline decided and commanded not by that the Book which Allah the Exalted communicated
Thereat, they are truly the people who are in habit of going out of the prescribed bounds.Whoever believes and relies on anything other than the revealed words of Allah the Exalted is leading and heading towards the Hell-Prison. This was the advice and lesson given to man while he was seen off to land on the Earth for a certain period.

The Qur'an A Monotheist Translation (2013 Edition)
And test the orphans when they reach puberty, then, if you have determined from them comprehension, then give them their money, and do not deliberately consume it wastefully or quickly before they grow up. And whoever is rich, then let him not claim anything, and if he is poor then let him consume in kindness. If you give to them their money, then make a witness for them, and God is enough for Reckoning.The Qur'an A Monotheist Translation (2011 Edition)
And test the orphans until they reach the age of marriage, then if you determine in them sound judgment, then give them their wealth, and do not deliberately consume it wastefully or quickly before they grow up. And whoever is rich, then let him not claim anything, and if he is poor then let him consume only in goodness. If you give to them their wealth, then make a witness for them, and God is enough for Reckoning.Nikah (in Arabic ‎ means marriage or copulating/coitus (sexual intercourse).
The Qur'an A Monotheist Translation (2013 Edition)
O you who believe, if you marry the believing females, then divorce them before having intercourse with them, then there is no interim required of them. You shall compensate them, and let them go in an amicable manner.The Qur'an A Monotheist Translation (2013 Edition)
O you who believe, let those who are maintained by your oaths, and those who have attained puberty, request your permission regarding three times before the dawn contact prayer, and when you put off your garments from the noon time, and after the evening contact prayer. These are three private times for you. Other than these times, it is not wrong for you or them to intermingle with one another. God thus clarifies the revelations for you. And God is Knowledgeable, Wise.Al-Hulum (in Arabic م means puberty (physical maturity).

The Qur'an A Monotheist Translation (2013 Edition)
5. And they keep covered their private parts.- Except around their mates, or those who are maintained by their oaths, they are free from blame.
The Qur'an A Monotheist Translation (2013 Edition)
O prophet, We have made lawful for you the wives to whom you have already given their dowries, and those who are maintained by your oath, as granted to you by God; and the daughters of the brothers of your father, and the daughters of the sisters of your father, and the daughters of the brothers of your mother, and the daughters of the sisters of your mother - those who emigrated with you. Also, the believing woman who had decreed herself to the prophet, the prophet may marry her if he wishes, as a privilege given only to you and not to the believers. We have already decreed their rights in regard to their spouses and those who are maintained by their oaths. This is to spare you any hardship. God is Forgiver, Merciful.The Qur'an A Monotheist Translation (2013 Edition)
And do not come near adultery, for it is lewdness and an evil path.The word Zina/Zena (in Arabic ا means adultery and fornication or unlawful/illicit sexual intercourse between a man and a woman who are not married to each other. This term stands both for adultery and fornication and does not make any difference between the two. In English language there is difference between adultery and fornication. Fornication stands for illicit relations between two unmarried persons; while adultery denotes unlawful sexual relationship between the persons, one or both of whom are married to other or others.
Your interpretation, please?

Salaam,
You need to remember puberty is not just an instant change into fertility but the physical change takes place still for some years after the early teens. The body is not optimally ready for a pregnancy for another few years. You know some features of the woman body are there to support her pregnancy and delivery.
The puberty has more than only physical changes involved but also psychological.
There is still a rapid growth in a pubescent child and it would still be making a child pregnant to have a teenager conceive. They might be cocky, teenagers, but they are not as ready as one may think. Late teens seems okay but a mature mother is desirable.
God bless you
