Question
A 15-year-old proposed to have a sexual relationship with an 18-year-old woman. The boy insisted on having sex with the woman on several occasions. Ultimately, the woman agreed. Despite his advocacy for his girlfriend, his parents filed a criminal case against this woman because they say their son is still underage. On what basis were the parents basing their allegations? The woman is older than the legal limit of engaging in sex Culturally, the parents have no right to lodge a case against the woman On the fact that the woman will be a bad influence to their son Both A and B are correct
Solution
The parents are basing their allegations on the fact that their son is underage. In many jurisdictions, there are laws that set the age of consent, which is the age at which a person is considered legally competent to agree to sexual activity. If the boy is below this age, even if he insisted on the sexual relationship, the law may consider it as statutory rape because he is not legally capable of giving consent. Therefore, the woman, being over the age of 18, could be held legally responsible. The correct answer is "The woman is older than the legal limit of engaging in sex".
