Before the new law, two 15 teens can have sex. With the new law, one of them can sue the other, yap, a great advancement.

  Before the new law, one of them could already sue the other under all kinds of pretenses. Does not mean it will hold.

  Oh please. It would have been better to clearly define age similarity. But the exception will be still there. People around here are not so happy suing as we're making love :-) I doubt very much that less than five years difference will make any, except in some fringe case.

    Looking at Spanish teens? I bet there will be a lot of those lawsuits.

  Sue them? Is this not a criminal law? So they'd be able to accuse them of rape (which they could do before anyway) but otherwise they'd need to ask a judge to charge (both of them?) with consensual sex with someone under 16 and then the Judge would decide whether it's legal or not based on his understanding of how mentally/physically mature they were in respect to each other. It's never good to have fuzzy laws but I'm assuming the Spanish legal profession has the common sense to apply this correctly in most cases. I wonder if you can pre-apply to have your teenage sex cleared by a Judge beforehand?
