Age of consent in Germany is the age at which 14 year old can fiddle each other and people up to 18. They can not marry adults.
Iran allows marriage after the occurrence of the first period.
You see the difference?
Oh, and the harshest European law against hijabs is France's asinine ban of full face coverage, which punishes the wearing of the niqab or tshador with a maximum fine of 150€. If one forces someone to wear these veils, they can be punished with a fine of up to 30.000€ and a year in prison. This law is horseshit, I wanna make that clear.
The Iranian law on Veils punishes the first offense with a suspended fine of 6.7 million toman, then on the second offense ramps up 13 million, then between 20 and 80 million and the fourth between 80 and 165. After the fifth, it's two to five years in prison. For not wearing a veil.
It gets even funnier: if you advocate for people to not wear a veil, and you did so in corporation with some non-iranian entity or person, you will immediately be sentenced to a fine of between 300 million and 550 million toman and 5 to 10 years in prison. You can even be sentenced to death if the court determines that your actions are spreading "corruption and evil on earth".
amazing, we have child sex defenders in chat now. I was hoping it would go without saying that child sex, regardless if it's between two children, is wrong. But when it's enshrined in your "civilized" laws, suddenly it makes it ok.
I'm not even going to entertain this further by conceding that Iran's marriage and consent laws are horrible, because they are and it goes without saying, and it's something that needs to be worked on stat. Take your disgusting, vile Westernophile shit out of here.
A. Completely ignoring the veil laws, classic.
B. Adults raping children and adolescents is disgusting. Adolescents having sex with each other is a completely different thing. You wanna convict the 16 years old for having sex with their 15 year old partner? Is that "child sex" to you? I lost my virginity before I turned 18, should I go to jail? You should brush up on your definition of children.
