    what
    are you fucking kidding me http://www.therebel.media/turkey_has_made_it_legal_to_have_sex_with_children_after_lowering_age_of_consent_to_12
    Now, why the fuck would you do that?
    Turkey has an islamic population of 98%, and thus, a very high number of child marriages. There's the explanation.

      Editing … If you read the article it appears that this is not the case. The age of consent is 18, they removed some sub law that they are going to replace so that they can punish people who abuse babies more than teenagers. Total clickbait, not legal at all.

      Editing … Having sex with a child as young as 12 will no longer be automatically classified as sexual abuse. They're going to be allowed to offer "consent."

      Editing … What I've read is that the current child abuse law has been removed and now everything is just 'rape' until January of next year when they are going to push another bill that has 'rape' 'sex with someone under age of consent' 'sex with a very small child'. It's still not legal to have sex with people under the age of consent which has not changed. My understanding is that they could technically change the age of consent to 12 now but that they have not actually done that and don't plan to do that.

      Editing … From what I've read, it's been explicitly stated that kids 12-14 will be allowed the opportunity to offer or decline consent. Is the case that penalties will be less harsh if the child "consented?"

      Editing … It seems to me that people have incorrectly read this as making the terms more lenient for that age group instead of making the terms more punishing for the lower age group. All the articles I've read that are trying to construe this that way are all "seems" "appears" "interpreted" "may" "implies" and not listing actual facts. I'm not going to even touch the whole "consented" thing, the age of consent is x, you can't legally consent under that age. Turkey would not just throw away it's chance at international relations by scrapping the age of consent in such a public way.

      Editing … Speaking of which, the US has taken in more refugees than the whole of the EU combined, this year. Yet we aren't having issues. Does this suggest that more of the newcomers to the EU aren't really refugees, but people posing as them?
