| Minor. |
So I was talking to a friend...
He asked what the 'legal age of consent' is in Malaysia...
And I wasn't exactly sure...
Sixteen or eighteen?
Eighteen or sixteen?
When in doubt, Google it =)
And I found some quite interesting schtuff...
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -
Main article: Age of consent
The age of consent for sex in Malaysia is 16 for both males and females.
(Yep, I've got the consent of the Malaysian law =P )
In China the national legal age of consent for sexual activity is 14 years, regardless of gender and/or sexual orientation.
(No wonder they're over-populated)
India's age of consent for heterosexual sex is 16, except in the state of Manipur, where it is 14. If the partners are married to each other they may legally engage in sexual activity at a lower age (13 in Manipur and 15 elsewhere).
(Wonder if the child marriage practice is still going on there...)
According to Israeli's law list (1977), the age of consent in Israel is 16 for any form of sex. Sexual relationships are allowed from ages 14-16, as long as the male is less than 3 years older than the female, and both sides agree and do it willingly (example: a 17 year old male may have sex with a 14 year old female, and an 18 year old male may have sex with 15 year old female).
("Hey there good-lookin... Let's have some fun tonight..."
"Err, wait ah, how old are you? Fourteen ah.. Wait ah, lemme count first. *counts fingers*" )
The age of consent in The Philippines is 12 but contract minors under 18.
(Don't know what contract minors are)
In Indonesia the age of consent for heterosexual sexual activity is 19 years for males and 16 years for females.
(Double standards-nyerrr...)
The age of consent in South Korea is 13 regardless of gender and/or sexual orientation.
(Freakishly young. Imagine your little Form One sister gettin it on with some other ku-chi-rek boy)
In Vatican City, there is an equal age of consent set at 12 years of age in Art. 331 (1). When there is a relationship of dependence (like teacher/student, etc.) the age of consent is 15 years in Art. 331 (2)
(TWELVE??? In THE VATICAN??? SERIOUSLY???)
The general age of consent in Paraguay is 14 regardless of gender and/or sexual orientation. The age of consent for extramarital intercourse with married female adolescents is 16.
(Maybe they're short of women there, I don't know)
The age of consent in Singapore is 16 for or all opposite-sex activity and only female same-sex sexual activity. Under section 377A (outrages on decency) in the Penal Code states that; Any male person who, in public or private, commits, or abets the commission of, or procures or attempts to procure the commission by any male person of, any act of gross indecency with another male person, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 2 years. Which means all male same-sex sexual activity (including mutual masturbation, oral and/or anal sex) is still illegal and the punishment is up to two (2) years jail, hardly ever enforced upon.
(Ho ho ho... Kesian the queer men of Singapore...)
In Madagascar, the age of consent is 14 years, according to article 331 in the Criminal Law. In certain cases, including relatives and homosexuals, it is 21 years.
(Holy crap there's an age of consent for incestuous relationships!)
The age of consent in Kenya is 16 years, for heterosexual males, females and female homosexuals. Male homosexuals get 25 years in prison.
(Again, the poor queer men of Kenya...)
Currently the age of consent in Guyana is 13 for lesbian females and heterosexual males and females, however legislation to raise the age to 16 is under discussion. Whilst male homosexual 'indecency' and all attempted anal sex carries a 10 year sentence, anal sex itself is punishable with life imprisonment.
(Life is great for the lesbians and heteros but the gay men have it bad in most countries... Even ATTEMPTED anal sex gets you behind bars for a good decade.)
According to the Book of My Mother's Laws, the age of consent is... 30. |
