UK law seems pretty straightforward - Its 16
Personally I think thats about right and it's all about how the law is enforced.
Would we prosecute two 15 year olds in a relationship? Probably not, but a 16 yo lad and a one night stand with a 14 yo it gets tricky
It gets very complicated elsewhere with 'consent' being linked to marriage and an array of conditions.
Amazingly the US federal age is 12 but almost all states its 16 unless you are married. But you can marry at 13 or 14 in some states!
In Nigeria its 11
