Marital rape for 15 to 18 year olds

Im trying to understand this
So in india its okay to marry a 15 year old but not ok to have sex with her.

And she must make a complaint that she's been raped for any action to be taken

Which 15 year old who has agreed/been coerced/ been highly encouraged to get married will likely be able to complain?

Her own family who gladly married her off won't support her. The family whose son is raping her wont support her.

She's a child still for God's sake. She's probably been schooled since young not to rebel not to bring shame to her family.

How is this law a step forward?
