this is one of the most trickiest law and policy in singapore.
we have two scenario, first:
wad if the girl, who is under the age of 16, actually gives consent
to the guy for sex. for this case, the girl willingly agrees to it
and may even asked for sex from the guy at first. we all know under
the age of 16, whether the the girl consent or not, having sex with
her constitute as statutory rape.so the thing is this, if the girl
agrees, and the guy do it, why have the poor guy be punished?
second:
does this law effectively protect girls?...as we know, girls under
the age of 16 maybe immature in their thinking and act rashly, thus
this law is the prevent guys from having sex from minors so as the
protect the girls. one paradox is, the girl agrees, the guy do it
but still get punished, on the other hand, we want to protect girls
from such harm. can we ever acheive a balance on dat?
