My sister started dating someone of 40 when she was 23. That was already a bit of a shock in my family, but it’s okay. I just can’t imagine anyone feeling fine with the situation OP describes. But yeah, it’s probably not technically illegal.
I mean yeah, morally speaking, the half+7 rule works shockingly well. It’s just not entirely reasonable for the law to encode something like that though, so there’s always going to be a line somewhere. 16 seems reasonable to me (but then, I’m also a supporter of lowering the voting age to 16…)
That’s what I was responding to.
Haha you got me there XD I’m talking in circles.
