        It's shocking how a person under twelve is held high compared to those above. Rape is rape to any victim. Kindly make it for all not just children under 12.

        I get your point, but children are held higher everywhere because they're more defenseless than an adult. I agree that there shouldn't be an age limit, but we should consider this a stepping stone.

        Kindly note if the adult was able to defend themselves then there wouldn't be the rape incident. Note rape is similar to robbery. The victim is HELPLESS.

        There's a reason I said MORE defenseless. I didn't say it to imply that every adult is strong enough to defend themselves, but that compared to an adult, a child is at an even larger disadvantage.

        Maybe it is also because the context becomes more complex with age? A girl under 12 will never ever consent, it will always be rape under any circumstance, so there is no chance the allegations won’t be true and death is irreversible.

        The best way anyone can actually avoid false accusations is have self control and not have any relationship that go to the extent of sexual contact, Unless in marriage.

        Or we can take rape more seriously and make sure that every case gets afforded the attention it deserves, married or not, while also focusing on educating minors about consent. The root of the problem is societal conditioning, not sex outside of marriage.

        So if you are married there is no chance of getting raped? with adults it is always easy to change the story conveniently on either side when it comes to personal relations, whether you are married or not. with kids any type of sexual encounter is rape, period.

        I just really can't find the right words for this. I guess a step in the right direction, but 12?! Seeing as there isn't an appropriate age for rape I suppose there must be some starting point...but, damn!
