Turning 32 in June. Born, raised and lived in Iran until 2017 when husband relocated our family to Ireland. New to this platform so I thought a personal-cultural post would be a nice starter.

Where do you draw the line then? In many cultures it’s been 18 for a long time, but that’s not entirely unanimous or consistent throughout history.
In other countries 18 may sound too high or too low. Like in the case of Iran, it’s culturally acceptable to marry much younger than that, and Europe used to be like that as well.
Given that there’s variation in this matter, it’s not immediately obvious how to define pedophilic activity. Depending on where you liven and which century it is, the definition may change considerably. If we apply current western definitions, you’re absolutely correct though.
If someone is into 5 year old children and wishes to have harmful relationships with them, it’s pretty clear that there needs be some laws against it. What about 15 or 17 then? Actually, there are also people much older than 20 and they’re still not ready to bear the responsibilities of parenting, so should the limit be even higher? I wish this was simpler.
