Right... The law is confusing! Can you make sense of this?!


Question: Right!.!.!. The law is confusing! Can you make sense of this!?
Ok, I live in scotland and I am soooo confused with the law over sex!

Right!.!.!. What I get is the female needs to be 16 or over!.!.!. But what about the guy!? It doesn't say! All it says is is ileagal if your male to have sex with anyone under 16!.!.!. but if your female, you are not comiting an offence to have under age sex!.


(I'm 13!.!.!. Just thinking it would be useful to know!)

So lets say your 15y/o (M) and have sex with a 16y/o (F) is that ilegal!?

From wikipedia
Scotland
The age of consent in Scotland is 16, regardless of sexual orientation and/or gender, as specified by the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 2000!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

According to English Common Law, both male and female must be 16 or over!. I assume that Scottish Law has a similar provision, but if you are in doubt, just go with what is legal south of the border!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hee in America its 16 for both male and female, but stop me if i'm wrong, NOBODY OBEYS THAT RULEWww@Answer-Health@Com
