Until 1962, same-sex relations were illegal in Czechoslovakia. The Czechoslovak Criminal Code 140/1961, introduced that year, still criminalized “sexual intercourse with a person of the same sex” (art. 244), but covered only persons over the age of 18 who had had sexual intercourse with a person under the age of 18. Between adults, receiving or providing payment and public nuisance have been criminalized. In 1990, § 244 was completely repealed by Czechoslovak Act 175/2009 Sb of 01.07.2009. Prior to 1990, sodomy was illegal for both men and women in Jersey until 1990, although the age of consent for homosexual acts other than sodomy is the same as for heterosexual acts. In 1990, the age of consent to sodomy between consenting men was set at 21 (the United Kingdom then maintained the age of consent at 21 for all homosexual acts between men). [165] In 1995, the age of was set at 18 (under the Sexual Offences (Jersey) Act 1995). In 2007, the age of consent was lowered to 16, regardless of gender for all sexual acts (including bestiality); regardless of sexual orientation or gender. [166] Article 227-27 prohibits sexual relations with minors over the age of 15 (15, 16 or 17) “(1) if committed by an ascendant or by another person having legal or de facto authority over the victim; (2) if they are committed by a person who abuses the authority conferred by his office. [34] The general provision on the age of consent in Greece is 15 years, as provided for in Articles 339 and Articles 337 and 348B of the Greek Criminal Code. In 2015, along with the legalization of same-sex civil partnerships, Article 347 was repealed, which provided for an additional ban on seducing a man under the age of 17 if the actor is an adult male, bringing the age of consent for homosexual acts into line.
[41] CRCA/ECPAT Albania, an NGO specializing in youth rights, in collaboration with the Health and Social Affairs Committee of the Albanian Parliament, has formally called for immediate legal improvements to the penal code and children`s rights. At least 11 days before the marriage plan, the future spouses must go to the civil registry office of the commune where the marriage will take place. If a spouse is an Albanian citizen, this is the district in which he or she has legal residence. If neither spouse has Albanian citizenship, he or she may marry at the civil registry authority that has his or her habitual residence. In 2019, at the ICPD25 summit in Nairobi, Albania committed to raising the legal age of marriage to at least 18 by 2021. In 1969, Denmark was the first country to legalize pictorial pornography,[21] but this did not affect laws regarding the age of those involved in its production. Therefore, the legal age of consent (15 years) corresponded to the limit for pornography produced in the country, but material produced in other countries (where the Danish Consent Act does not apply) was not covered and therefore legal. In 1980, it became illegal to sell, distribute or possess pornography with children under the age of 15, regardless of their country of origin (Danish Criminal Code, § 235). [22] The limit was later changed to 18, which is now the applicable law, although it remains legal for a person over the age of 15 to take their own nude photos as long as they are only shared with friends (for example, with a boyfriend or girlfriend), the recipient has been given the explicit right to possess them, and they are no longer shared or disseminated.
[22] In the period between the legalization of pornography and the 1980 amendment to the Danish Penal Code, some companies (notoriously Color Climax) took advantage of the absence of age restrictions on material produced in other countries. [23] U.S. citizens can marry Albanian citizens who are at least 18 years old in Albania. However, the district court of the city where the marriage is concluded may, for certain reasons, authorize marriage before that age. You can get married in a civil ceremony, a religious ceremony, or both. However, according to Albanian law, only a civil marriage is considered legal. Before 2013, the legal age of consent in Croatia was 14. Homosexual acts were illegal until 1977, when Croatia, then the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, amended its penal code. The age of consent was changed in 1998. Foreigners in Albania may marry civilly, religiously or both.
The marriage must be registered with the civil registry office (Zyra e Gjendjes Civile) to be considered legal in Albania and the United States. There are no residency requirements for foreigners who choose to marry in Albania. In Montenegro, the age of consent is set at 14 years, in accordance with article 206 of the Criminal Code. Article 207 prohibits a teacher, trainer, guardian, adoptive parent, father-in-law, mother-in-law or any other person in a similar position from abusing his position or authority to have sexual intercourse or an act of equality with a minor (under 18 years of age) in charge of teaching. education, care and care. Article 209, paragraph 2, prohibits a person from “organizing debauchery, an equivalent act or any other sexual act against a minor”. Article 216 prohibits “extramarital union with a minor” Article 216 provides that: (1) An adult living in an extramarital relationship with a minor shall be punished by imprisonment from three months to three years. 2. A parent, adoptive parent or guardian who permits or induces a minor to live in an extramarital union with another person shall be liable to a penalty provided for in paragraph 1.
[85] As set out in sections 148 and 149, it is illegal, regardless of age, for a person in a position of authority or superiority over a person to engage in sexual acts with that person or if it is a breach of trust or a situation of distress or dependence. The penalty is more severe if the person is under 18 years of age. Albania has ratified the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (known as the Istanbul Convention), which considers forced marriage a serious form of violence against women and girls and legally obliges states parties to criminalise intentional behaviour of forcing an adult or child into marriage. On February 4, 2010, Parliament passed a law that included protection from discrimination for LGBT people, but a provision legalizing same-sex marriage was dropped [R1.2]. After German reunification, under the 1990 Unification Treaty, Article 149 remained in force for the territory of the former GDR, and in West Germany Articles 175 and 182 were no longer published. The West German legislator also saw the need for sexual and gender neutrality as well as the rebalancing of sexual self-determination with the protection of minors. In the subsequent reform of 1994, the minimum age of 14 years was maintained for the whole of Germany and, on the basis of the legal traditions of both States, sexual acts of a person over 21 years of age with a minor under 16 years of age, which take advantage of the minor`s individual inability to dispose of himself sexually, were criminalized in new paragraph 182.
