Age of Consent Around the World The legal Age of Consent varies from 11 to 21 years old from country to country around the world. In some countries, there is no legal age of consent but all sexual relations are forbidden outside of marriage.
From Wikipedia, Ages of consent in Asia: India's age of consent for sex is 18 under the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013. In 1892, the marital rape and subsequent death of an 11 year-old girl, Phulmoni Dasi, caused the age of consent to be raised from 10 to 12. In 1949, it was raised to 15 after agitation from women groups about the adverse effect of early pregnancy.
