1) Who said it's good for the girl, in a relationship, to be younger than the boy?

This idea, derived from the continuity of past common thought, is from when it was beneficial for the man or boy to be older than the woman or girl as a result of men and boys controlling social structures, particularly the older man/younger woman dynamic, and the structure of inequality that left women of generations past without a lot of options. However, the dissolving state of inequality has led to girls having the same opportunities as boys, and they're able to develop into independent beings as men have done in past generations. As a result, the women have the option of altering the older man/younger woman dynamic to older woman/younger man.

So, in today's society, for someone to say that it's better for the girl to be younger than the boy, is a derogatory characterization of women and girls in relationships.

2) The only time it is usually better for a female to be younger than her male boyfriend is when they are adolescents to late teens because females mature earlier and a boy the same age or younger is usually left in the dust (so to speak) until both are young adults and more on the same footing.

Can a girl marry a boy who 10 years younger than her?

The boy must be at least 17 years old in order to get married, (in most places), which means the girl can be no younger than 27. If the boy is at least 17 he can marry a girl who is many years older than him. The girl can marry any boy, (provided she is at least 17, and he is at least 17 years old). As long as both meet the minimum age requirement to be married, the age difference is not important.
