Here me out first.
Going by the above statement, we know that sex doesn't hurt most minors especially those within the age bracket of (14-17).

Age of consent (if not married)
https://www.populationu.com/gen/age-of-consent-by-country

Catholic church recommends @ 16 - used to be 14 ish for marriage
https://www.canonlaw.info/a_tooyoung.htm

Sunni Mosque
Al Azhar recommends @ 18 for marriage

If married, the age of consent is null and void. As marriage is contract under the constitution; if granted will supercede the age of consent. Hence, no illegality for a married 15 year old girl having a romp with her husband.

However, no ages are recommended in the Bible or Quran for marriage.
And, the Virgin Mary recognized in the Quran as Mariam, and the Bible as Mary was betroth to Joseph.

Universal answer: It depends.

OP, I don't know what prompted you to create this thread, but regardless of any points raised here, please don't do it. Even if you don't care about morality, stay away from it for your safety. That said, I'm going to assume it's just a social discussion and go ahead to drop my two cents.

Yes,18 is just a number truly. However, regardless of the age adopted as the age of consent within the age bracket you've identified above, it could still be argued that it's just a number. Therefore, the law has to draw a line somewhere. The line is based on two things: maturity and dependence.

Maturity:
As you know it, sex with a girl who isn't fully mature could be injurious in more ways than one. According to biology, most girls tend to reach full sexual maturity at 15 (and 16 for boys). But just like every other aspect of nature, this number is not carved on stone. It's a plus or minus kind of thing. Therefore, to be on the safe side, our law added a couple of years to that figure to get the age of consent. This creates room for later bloomers and reduces the risk of hurting anyone. Regarding knowledge, this is continuous as we're all still learning. However, it's believed that most people have completed secondary education at that age, and therefore, understand the basic working principles of thier body. You will agree with me that having sex with a naive teen who doesn't understand the need to use protection or the importance of not doing it during her period is simply malicious.

Dependence:
18 is regarded by many nations (not all) as the age of consent (not talking about sex now). It is the age at which you could fill some legal forms without having your parents around. It is the age at which you could get a job or even live alone in some countries (admittedly, this is more about legal convenience and less about psychology). Before this age, you're denied the ability to give consent to sex based on the idea that you are not yet responsible for yourself. If you get injured, fall sick or anything of that nature, somebody else would bear the responsibility, not you. Therefore, you cannot give others consent to your body when you aren't the one that would bear the consequences. You're simply not in a position to incure liabilities for your caretakers.


As a man, having sex with a child of 15 knowing that another man (her father) would bear the consequences of your pleasure if she fell ill (either STD or cause she's not fully mature by chance) is simply inconsiderate. Even if you plan to bear responsibility for that, what choice would the girl have at that point? And from the morality point of view, you really do not want to be sleeping with a girl who should be studying for her first meaningful certificate (WASSC) knowing fully well what sex could do to her brain at that formative period. That would be wickedness especially if you've completed your own education. And please, stop comparing this to homosexuality cause these same principles apply to gay people as well. Comparing what happens between two independent adult men with what you do with a girl of 14 years who becomes helpless the moment something goes wrong is hilarious to say the least.

Thanks and ciao !

I know you've jumped to conclusions already.

But sha.

Anyways, the new law we seem to be living on now is "if it doesn't hurt anyone, then it's not a crime. After all it is their body and they can do whatever they want with it".

Going by the above statement, we know that sex doesn't hurt most minors especially those within the age bracket of (14-17).

And of course, they are in a place where they can comfortably consent to sex requests.

So, according to our woke brethren, sex with minors technically should never be wrong.

Like gay people, I think pedophile should also start "coming out of the closet" and demand for their rights.

It's their body. Their choice.

Let them make movies about it until everyone start "accepting them for who they are".
Na them....they want to legalize another evil.

Na wetin gay people do na. A few decades ago it was disgusting and horrible to think about.

Today we are debating if we should allow or not allow it.

18 is just a number.

Pedophile should come out and claim their rights.

And then people who wanna walk around naked.

Then those who desire to sleep with animals

And then those fathers and daughters who are in love with each other.

We can go round the circle of madness
Exactly. That one is 18 doesn't mean one is wise. Puberty starts by 11 or 12. That means girls can carry pregnancy at that point.
I don't see why a 15 years old can't consent to sex.

a 17yr old having sex with a 16yr old (or even 15 yr old), is not pedophilia... it is a bit too early, but not abnormal in today's terms.
the problem of pedophilia is when an adult specifically seeks to have sex with someone underage.
And who set the parameters for what age is underage?

OP, i understand you.
Since LGBTQ says it their sexuality and it hurt nobody then they are good to go. As for the peodophilia since it hurt nobody then you are good to go. If the girl want to have sex with you do it. It's called CONSENSUAL PEODOPHILIA since it hurt no one. but if you do it by for force, then, it's called RAPE PEODOPHILIA and the latter punishable(you will be punished severly).


They should fight for their right, everybody is entitled to his/her body.


Make the madness start.
You deserve jail

Is this law applicable in the North?

I'm asking because one 62 years old Alhaji is keeping a 15 years old girl in the house as wife right now.

If he's in the north, Sharia law shields pedophiles.

There are criminals everywhere. Even so, levels they. Mind you, pedophiles, in the south, are frowned upon even among "village" people.
Go to northern kaduna, kano, kastina, etc. then come back and come let me lend you sense. Are you d same candidlady?

remember, when you are talking about this issue of age of consent, you cant just say "the age of consent is 15/16 or 17yrs old therefore any grandpa can have sex with a person of that age".... but instead you must look at A) the age of both participant, B) the difference in age etc.

sadly, anywhere around the world today, parents can marry off their children as young as 10/11/12 (and even younger) to adult men, like it happens in most states in the US, so long as you have a parental or judicial waiver.
