Technically incorrect, the Quran never says her age. The Hadith do, which is what OP is referencing

Scholars actually see that as a form of ensuring she was supported the rest of her life. Marriage wasnt like it is now, kids were seen as your retirement plan, because they could work the fields when you couldnt. Im not saying it would fly by modern standards, but it is intended to help the woman. Also, the man is presumed guilty until proven innocent. E.g. If it happened somewhere no one could hear her cry for help, then its assumed she did.

Sadly that’s a bad translation that someone made in certain Bible translations. If you look at the original meaning in the text, the rapist would be put to death. What the text is really saying (which was translated terribly again in some translations) is that if a man and a woman sleep together and it’s consensual they have to get married

The text gives 3 cases: one if she’s betrothed and raped, one of she’s betrothed and consents, and one of she is unengaged. There is no distinction in the old law between the man’s punishment for rape and for premarital sex. I get that was a form of protection at the time, but it’s still pretty abhorrent that was the solution to protect victims from society

No distinction… if she’s unengaged*
