sexi legal age
“Legal age for sex” depends on the country or region — it’s called the age of consent.
Here are some examples:
-
Bangladesh: 18 years (for both male and female).
-
India: 18 years.
-
USA: Varies by state — usually between 16 and 18 years.
-
UK: 16 years.
-
Canada: 16 years.
-
Australia: Usually 16 or 17, depending on the state.
Would you like me to tell you specifically for Bangladesh or another country?
🧭 What “Age of Consent” Means
The age of consent is the minimum age at which a person is considered legally old enough to agree to sexual activity.
If one person is below this age, then sex with them is considered statutory rape or child sexual abuse, even if they say “yes.”
