Question by jh: Rape legal in Pakistan, please read and comment.?
President Pervez Musharraf has opened a new and especially bitter confrontation with radical Islam by trying to rewrite Pakistan's controversial rape laws.
These place an almost impossible burden of proof on women by compelling them to produce four "pious" male witnesses to prove rape or risk being convicted of adultery and face 100 lashes or death by stoning.
This law, known as the Hudood Ordinance, has been regarded as untouchable since its passage 27 years ago.
It also sets no minimum age for sex with girls, saying only that they should have reached puberty. A powerful militant Muslim lobby regards this code as sacred and based on Koranic texts and sharia law. No previous Pakistani leader, not even the country's first female leader, Benazir Bhutto, dared reform it.
But Gen Musharraf's allies in parliament sparked the fury of the militant opposition by introducing a Women Protection Bill. This would remove the requirement for four male witnesses to prove rape and set 16 as the age of consent for sex with girls.
When this measure came before parliament, Islamic radicals responded by tearing up copies of the bill and storming out. "This bill is against the Holy Koran," said Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the leader of the militant opposition. "We reject it and will try to block it in any possible manner." Other MPs chanted "death to Musharraf" and "Allah is great."

year, girl, rape, statutory, Consensual, Canada, considered
by xupower
Question by TigerLily:
If an 18 year old girl has consensual sex with a 17 year old boy in Canada, is it considered statutory rape?
If they are like 7 months apart in age and both parties want to have sex and willingly engage in sex (the age of consent in Canada is 16), would it be legal despite one member being legally underage yet above the age of consent?
Please state your sources. Thaaaank you! :)
Best answer:
Answer by Bob B Age of consent is 16. That's all that counts.
If both parties consent and are over 16, being over/under the age of majority is entirely irrelevant.
