LOL. There are tens of millions of people all over the world, perhaps hundreds of millions, who are adults but whom have never experienced puberty.
I shan’t bend to your will. I stand resolutely against all that you espouse
In certain instances, allowances may be made for those who suffer from a late onset of pubescence, much as exceptions are already made in current legislation for those women between ages 13‒16 who exhibit a level of psychological maturity befitting their union with a man between the ages of five-&-twenty & thirty. Such exceptions are routinely made.
Indeed, it is a curious thing to observe ; for I have found from personal experience that those who, theoretically, take the greatest stance against such practices, invariably find themselves softening their stance once they have personal knowledge of the individuals involved. I have seen, with my own eyes, instances in which the police have ignored the complaints of parents, & allowed relationships between 14-year-old women & five-&-twenty year old men to flourish, despite the fact that such relationships are technically illegal. Indeed, the parents themselves softened their stance once they actually knew the individuals involved, even though they were the most strongly opposed to it in the beginning.
Surely, then, exceptions can also be made in the opposite direction, when one has reached the age of five-&-twenty but has yet to mature beyond pubescence.
However, the law should not be built around exceptions & abnormalities ; for if we take your argument to its logical conclusion, we would be forced to abolish age of consent laws altogether. I am not willing to endorse that.
Therefore, making the age of consent consonant with biological reality is the only senseible approach ; & exceptions can be made in cases in which the individual has already been through puberty but is still several years below the age of 13,—in such cases, it would be obviously forbidden. It would also have to be within the confines of marriage. Now, so long as the law clearly & accurately reflects the desired qualifications & conditions, there is nothing that would prevent one from including specific language to address specific cases. The key is to ensure that the language used is precise & unambiguous, so that the intent of the law is clear & enforceable.
Adult is in modern parlance a term of relative experience
Your rather arbitrary & ahistorical definition of adulthood is but a fleeting notion, a mere figment of the imagination, bereft of any solid foundation in truth or science. In contrast, my own understanding of adulthood, is not only in agreement with that of virtually all traditional cultures & societies,even our own society until relatively recently, is rooted firmly in the biological realities of life, & it is my belief that laws & regulations should be built upon the solid ground of such objective truths, rather than upon the shifting sands of subjective opinion. “Old enought to bleed, old enough to breed,” as the saying goes
As a defender of morality & justice, I firmly advocate the prohibition of nonreproductive exploitative extramatrimonial sexual conduct. Such behaviour is contrary to the fabric of a civilised society & should be strictly prohibited to ensure the preservation of the social order. By basing our laws on biological realities, we can ensure that they are rooted in a foundation of truth & impartiality.
(In the cases of my parents, grandparents, great-grantparents, & great-great grandparents, the women were all 13‒17 years old, whilst the men were betw. the ages of 20 & 32. These unions were invariably within the confines of marriage & they enjoyed both the sanction of the law & the full approbation of society at large.)
