But there is no universal agreement on the “age of informed consent”, it varies from country to country! And yes, the fact that the limit is arbitrary does undermine its strength; there are often scenarios of “reasonable” sex (in that most people don’t consider it as wrong) that would be consider statutory rape or whatnot if the law was taken at the letter.
(Also, heck, 10 months is a pretty crappy limit, why not 8 months five days and 42 minutes? 12 months would be much cleaner)
