Age of Consent for Sex

Your views please.

It's good in a way, as in good for the judiciary, because there are many cases of 'couples' where in either of them(usually the girl) is young, below the age of 18 and the couple elope and 'marry' and then have sex --- all this is purely illegal and hence, if having sex below the age of 18, consensual or not, will atleast prevent people from eloping 😆 ...atleast that's what I think, because if we see the cases that ushered the bill through the parliament, it's the case of some couple that eloped :)

Also, there's many cases where the girl alleges the older guy of raping her minor innocent self, whereas the guy goes on to say that it was a consensual one. Put a restriction on having sex below 18! nothing doing!! 😆 ...the sensible guys would be careful before they lure/get lured by a girl now :P

However, whether it's right or wrong to make such a law... the PCSOA(Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act) is futile. How will the cops know that two people are having sex unless one of those two people or their parents lodge a complaint on the other one, or unless there's an evidence - video etc? 😆 And, I dont think girls can get pregnant, most of my classmates have never got pregnant inspite of "doing it" pretty frequently 😛 kids these days have easy access to contraceptives, etc :):) ...it really isnt very much easy to implement this law...anyways, let's see, how the law is above all.. as the consititution reads.

The reason behind the govt. coming up with this Act - Proctection of Children from Sexual Offences is out of their concern for the society and parents, my opinion is, parents themselves fail at getting their "values" across to their own children, how will a law prevent kids from doing things? Having sex...whether for the fun of it, or because you seriously are in love is all a very personal thing, depends on the values, morals, ethics of the kid.

Finally, I can only say that, every person has the right to do whatever he wants with his body. Kids have brains, they can use them... i feel, the more you put restrictions, the uglier it all gets. People should have freedom...not like this bill is gonna cease any of it, all the kids who want to have sex will do is - be more careful, not let anyone know, take precautions 😆

But no matter how many precautions one can take, it's a risky affair to go against the law...and the law is CRIMINALIZING all sorts of sexual activities between kids below the age of 18, unless the kids are legally married. So, sensible ones can always wait...think of the repercussions of going against the law. Critizing the law wouldnt help now :)

Age of consent? What bloody age of consent? Most people will choose to become sexually active after they've hit puberty, and since different people hit puberty at different ages, the idea of an 'age-of-consent' sounds risible.

If you absolutely MUST, then 14. 16, at a pinch. Anything higher is ridiculous, not to mention self-defeating.
