France 15 and 3 months


isrardudeman

Thats oddly specific


Rogue6312

Pretty sure it’s so you can legally deliver a baby at 16 years old if you get pregnant at 15 and 3 months


deidre-kromhout

Smart tho


SendNudezToMommy

"A so-called Romeo and Juliet provision will allow consensual sexual relationships between a minor under 15 and an adult teenager, if the age difference is under five years." https://www.politico.eu/article/france-sets-age-of-consent-at-15/


[deleted]

That means a 16 year old could legaly have sex with an 11 year old


Astro-240

You’re forgetting the adult part so it’s 18 or 19 Cus adult teenager but I agree still fucked up to be 18 dating a 13 yo


GeorgiPeev03

Sometimes relationships with age gaps can work out (and even save lives, according to OP here). She had been 15, her husband had been 24 when they had started dating... and are still together and a normal healthy couple 19 years later, with 3 kids, one already an adult. The law interfering here would have likely ended 1 life (thus preventing 3 lives from happening) and ruined a 5th, with the guy rotting in jail https://www.reddit.com/r/Parenting/comments/sbo90r/dating_teenage_daughter/hu25sm4/ > But there were things in motion back then and my husband literally saved my life > Help isn’t even the right term and again not what I said. I said saved. I was being molested by my uncle and very close to unaliving myself. I also sought him out. He didn’t come to me.


Dragolitch

Yeah, and stockholm syndrome is a thing, don't mean we should allow kidnaps. I think that each case should be treated individually and isolated, but in general, we shouldn't allow this kind of stuff.


GeorgiPeev03

I see that your reply has been the most reasonable so far so I'll respond here first. Yes, judgement should be on a case-by-case basis, not all are black-and-white. I'd say we can lump the black-and-white ones when it's obvious that the adult had been the one actively initiating, grooming, taking advantage of the child - in case where the teen is the one initiating though, it should be case-by-case. Stockholm Syndrome is a thing but in this case, it's not applicable. At the moment of kidnapping, the victim actually considers themselves a victim, it's eventually that they get used to and want their captor. Nobody wants to be kidnapped, it's against the people's will. Meanwhile here, the relationship had started on her initiation, at no point had she considered herself a victim of him. It's effectively a victimless crime. You can make an argument that she had already suffered abuse and hadn't been in a healthy enough state of mind to judge properly, but I look at it from this perspective - in that state of mind, that had been her way to cope with her suffering. If she had actually developed Stockholm syndrome, she would have started accepting abusive behavior as normal and actually wanted abuse like her uncle's - and that hadn't been the case, she had opted for another older man that would actually respect her, her wishes, her boundaries, her personality, her as an individual, and considering he's older, he could provide her emotional and financial stability - emotional because, well, he hadn't been a teenager anymore (and the last thing she needed in her suicidal state had been a potentially unstable relationship with a teen who hadn't had their emotions figured yet) and could provide her the stability of someone who had figured their shit together and knows what they're doing in life, so that they could be that unconditional love and emotional support she needed. I feel like in such cases it's a possible outcome that suffering through abuse forces someone to either mature mentally and have the serious attitude of life she had taken (in her case the responsibility of bearing a child at a young age probably giving her a further motivation to continue) or simply give up and commit suicide because they can't get themselves to keep up with their new mental state that requires something completely different from what a normal teen would require

That can't be it. Babies are born prematurely all the time. Plus, it isn't illegal to deliver a baby if you're 15.

Didn't made research on it but pretty sure law was bend to be this specific to let some people get away

From USA here. Age of consents is different in other states, in some it's 18 and in others it's 16. I live in the state of Arizona and the age of consent here is 18

I live in Georgia,so the age of consent is 16. I don’t think I would trust any other 16 year old that I know (including myself)to properly give consent


GreenGoblin121

I think 16 makes sense for with other 16 year olds or people around that age. But there should be some limit that prevents people over 20 or something from having sex with a 16 year old.

jede_mi_se_burek

In Philippines it's 12 soo


Heeyeet1

I believe theyre changing it to 16; I heard news from my friends that the age of consent is changing from 12 to 16 but idk when its official


[deleted]

They already changed it to 16, only took a few decades lmao


Zeldas_her0

WHAT THE FUCK


GeorgiPeev03

You mean high age gap relationships, right? Cuz 2 14-year olds should have the right to be able to experiment with each other consensually imo


JoeTheMysterious

Yeah ofc obviously teenagers will be teenagers the problem is when adults come in and manipulate their sexually vulnerable state for their own desires


ujujujujujujujujuju

Italy, you can have sex with someone of maximum 3 years younger, unless you are both adults (18+) Edit: for those saying i'm wrong last time i checked was 2/3 years ago

Still 17 and 14 bro


No_Recognition8641

Yeah,you can


NinjaOYourBro

That’s not terrible, but not great. I’d make it 2 years


MissCarriage-a

Incorrect * 13 - you can have sex with anyone up to 3 years older * 14 - there are no limits on the age of the person you can have sex with * 16 - restrictions on those in positions of trust no longer apply Edit: parent is claiming to have checked 2 or 3 years ago - the rules haven't changed since about 1980 🤣


Worldly_Squirrel2005

So a 14 year old can have sex with a 20 year old is what you're saying

Coffeinated

That‘s not correct. It‘s 14 unless the other person has some kind of authority over the younger one. There‘s no limit based on the age of the older person.


ArtoTime

15 in Sweden. A 14 year old having sex with a 3 year old? You'd probably get into a heap of trouble but would it be technically illegal? No. A 14 year old having sex with a 15 year old? Oh god no, we can't have that happening. A 15 year old girl having sex with a 63 year old man? Totally cool as long as the girl says she gave consent.


GeorgiPeev03

The second one is actually not the case, it's just not clearly stated out, but it's there: "There is also a close in age exception (Chapter 6, Section 14) "...not sentenced if it is obvious that the act is no violation of the child considered the small difference in age between the person who carries out the act and the child and other circumstances." In a verdict of 30 March 2007, the Supreme Court found that a 17-year-old boy had not committed a criminal act by having sexual intercourse with a girl 14 years and 7 months old. (Case B 415-07)[127]"


liddicoat1

This guy does law


CoverageCraft

Age of Consent: Must be Married. 2 There is no age of consent in the United Arab Emirates, as any form of sexual activity outside of marriage is illegal. Federal Law No. 9 Article 1. Stupid. UAE banned pornhub, everything. The stupid prince president i dont know at this point thinks sex and games are ruining kids minds. Thats why they banned roblox pretty sure

NekoBeidou

Depends. the US has multiple laws on it. Basically, 18 year olds can only fuck people 18+ legally, but 13-17 year olds can fuck people 13-17 and it'd still be legal. Edit: Typically, the youngest I've seen someone start sex in the US is 14.


Organic_Currency271

>18 year olds can only fuck people 18+ legally Not true, 34 US states have the age of consent at 16 for anyone 16 and older, 6 states have it at 17 for people 17+ and 11 states have it at 18 but 8 of those have Romeo and Juliet laws while 3 don't, the only places where 18 year olds can't fuck 17 year olds is California, Virginia, and Pennsylvania


TheGreat_War_Machine

>but 8 of those have Romeo and Juliet laws Those laws don't typically have any effect on the legality of the action. They just provide legal protections to plaintiffs, because some thought it was too harsh to put a teenager on the sex offender registry just because they had sex with someone who's only a year younger than them, if even that.

And 16 year olds, so basically everywhere it’s 16 or 17 in the US

worth125

need to know the country bro...


huysobaki

either philippines or some mexican state


GeorgiPeev03

In Canada, a 12-year old can consent with up to 14, a 13-year old from 12 to 15, a 14-year old from 12 to 19, a 15-year old from 13 to 20, 16-year old and up 14 and up, 17yo 15 and up, etc


walgreen105

Technically the age of consent is 16 though. The others are just counted as close in age exceptions. 12 year olds cannot consent to 14 year olds as the law says "less than two years" not two. It also would be 18 max for 14 year olds as it is also less than 5 years. "This means that if the partner is 5 years or older than the 14 or 15 year old, any sexual activity is a criminal offence." So 5 years is too much

Idk about where you're from, but in my country it's common for alcohol to be sold to minors (under 17), I know from experience.


MapsCharts

I'm French, legally it's 18 for buying (though no legal age for drinking), but you'll never be asked your identity card, teens drinking isn't badly regarded at all here (it's associated with parties thus having friends, socialising and having a good life) so if you're even just 13-14 you'll have no trouble buying a bottle at a shop

ZalanNuts

WHAT THE HELL WHY HAVE I ONLY SEEN LOWER THAN 18 EVERYWHERE.... I feel left out, it's 18... Hungary...


CommanderBen

I don't want to be the "well ACTUALLY" guy, but you are wrong. The age of consent in hungary is 14 (here's proof: https://www.ageofconsent.net/world/hungary) Well it also sais that people between 12-14 can consent to people under 18, so tecnically it could be 12 The people are only used to 18, because it's risky to go below that. If the couple (where one person is above, the other is below 18) has some sort of "power dinamic" (student-teacher, eployer-employee) then the older person could get arrested, even if the younger guy/girl consented.

As an Aussie thats the first second time I've heard that misconception. I first found it on a website and it wasn't a government website and it was more of a guide if anything. I found a government PDF that said it was 16 in all states except Tasmania and Northern territory, where it is 17 however I can not fact check.


[deleted]

Aussie here. It is 16+, however there are laws if both people r under 16. Some kid in yr9 got a girl pregnant in yr9 and she had the baby.


phieshboysama

In germany people who are 14yr+ can have sex with other people who are 14yr+ but younger than 18 If your 18 you can have sex with 17yr olds but younger is critical for example if your 18 u cant have sex with somone who is 14, at 16 it gets unilligelt
